Hey again lol

So not even kidding, 20 minutes after I made that thread about not receiving Packet 4, I received the email.

Now, I scheduled my interview and I got the confirmation email, now I'm just reading what i need to bring and my heart sank at the one requirement. Previous Passports. Yikes, my old passport was thrown in the shredder by my brother when I got my new one. I've never had a previous visa or anything and it was a child's passport but now I'm scared I'll be denied because I don't have it.

Anybody been in my shoes? Or can tell me what to do next? Thanks!

Just explain it as you have here. You can't provide what you don't have.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

The truth is that it was disposed of. That's the answer you give if you get asked. They are concerned about passports that go missing. Yours didn't go missing, you had it destroyed.
