altered passport

i went to my aos interview on tuesday. when the IO asked me for my passport, he said there might be a problem because it looked like somebody altered the dates. the passport is expired and the last time i used it to enter the US they punched holes in it. their was no reason for me to use it for anything. i already had a conditional card. anyway when my ex-husband abandoned me he kept all my paperwork and we never removed the conditional. later he gave me back the expired passport and kept the new one. i remarried a few years later and filed for AOS. i never realized there was anything wrong with my passport, seeing that the dates a still the same. the IO also had a copy of the passport in my file from my POE. he proceeded with the interview and at the and said everything looks good and if he needed anything he would RFE me. he had us sign a paper and gave me back my passport telling me not to ever show it to anybody and he would to his check this afternoon. if he does need any other proof of my legal entry would their be a way to get that even after so many years have passed? he would think the copy in the file of my last entry should be sufficient. i am just pretty anxious for this to be over and wondered what to expect.

I wouldn't worry too much about the interview. I think you are in one of those cases where the IO requires the supervisors opinion to approve the petition. They do that in some offices even if there is no problem at all.

As far as your passport, you say your ex-husband is withholding your old passport? If so that is wrong. Ask him to give it back, and if not, get a report to the police and say you lost it/got it stolen so you can have a new one made at your embassy.

thanks for the answer, my ex pretty much kept all my paperwork. i am just glad they had the file from when i entered. i dont know how hard it will be to get a new passport. as for the interview i guess i just have to wait. THe IO was pretty positive about everything else, just saying that he would do his check. this is just a very frustrating process, and i have to say,that this website is more helpful than the lawyer i had.If i had found this website first i would have just done the paperwork on my own, seeing the only problem i had was my overstay and never removing the conditional.

to get a new german passport you have to get in contact with the german consulate closest to your city

keep in mind to aply for a new passport its time consumming 4-8 weeks ,

also if you didnt do it yet , before you can even aply for a new german passport you have to do a name declaration ( to get your new name and marriage registerd in germany ) without the declaration they will not issue a new passport , ( I know all this cose I am german citizen and went trough it when I lived in canada before I got divorced )

another thing is if you got married in germany you have to also get the divorce from your ex registerd in germany ( but you probly already knew that , since you where able to remarry ) anyhow take a look at the german/US consulate site good luck http://www.germany.info/relaunch/info/cons...ervices_en.html

Either or, you will most likely need a police report because in order to get a copy from your consulate you need the original passport, but if you say that its stolen (which in your case it is) most likely they will ask for a police report. Your best bet it to contact the police and if he lies and says he doesnt have it, then be sure to get a police report to show to your consulate!! Hope everything works out for You

Are you suggesting that it is possible that your ex tampered with the dates?

I dont think so. the dates were the same then in the copy that the UCIUS had on file when it got processed in NEW YORK. maybe he spilled something on it and just filled it back in. i won,t be able to ask him, because i don't even know where he lives at.i was just worried that with the dates changed it would be hard to show proof of legally entering the states.
