I lost my expired passport

[kymcoco 0]

Hello,

Got the CFR notice today and it wanted me to bring "all" passports including expired to the interview.

I have been a PR for about 8 years. My current passport covers my last five years' departure and arrival records, and my lost expired passport covers the first three years' records after I became PR.

I originally thought just bringing my current passport to the interview should be okay since it covers my last five years' records. I have been living in the US for more than 58 months in the last 5 years

But right now, since my lost expired passport is listed in the the CFR notice, I am not sure if I will have any troubles during the interview. The first three years I only stay in the US about 1 month per year since I was still a college student in my country. I can only come back to the US during my vacations.

Does IO always strictly check the requirements in the CFR notice? What am I supposed to do?

Any helps will be appreciated. Thanks.

I just went for my interview and spent ages trying to find my old expired passport too. I finally found it and took it with me, but was never asked for it, nor for any other documents apart from my current passport, ID and green card.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it is truly lost, there is nothing you can possibly do. You can't get a copy of it or replace it, so relax. Anyway, USCIS no doubt have records of every entry and exit you have made so just be honest if they ask.

Hi Annie,

Thanks for your reply. Still have a couple of questions for you.

You said IO didn't ask for your old passport, but did IO check your current passport very strictly or just take a glance? Did your current passport cover at least last five years of your records? Thanks.

I am also curious if anybody had a hard time during the interview because of losing expired passport. If so, please share your experience with me. Thanks.
