So last night my fiancee and I sat down (over FACETIME of course :) to complete the DS160 online form. I was merrily filling it out with no problems until I realized, I'm missing one of my passports with a LOT of info that I need for the form. So, I'm in my early thirties but I've had a passport since I was about 7 or 8. While I was in college, that first passport expired and I had to get another one so I did. I'd only had it for about two years when the Bahamas began encouraging people to get their electronic passports ASAP. I decided to wait to get mine since the passport I'd just gotten was still valid for several years. But, I remember upon one entry to the US a CBP officer very rudely asked, "when are you getting your electronic passport?" After that, I decided to go ahead and get it done.When I went to pick up the electronic passport they made me surrender my other one because they said I couldn't be in possession of two valid passports which made sense at the time but now it presents an issue for me.

As I sat down last night to fill out the DS160, I had with me my first expired passport and my new electronic passport ready to go but then I remembered I was missing one ...and that one perhaps has the most crucial info in it. There's one question that asks about overstays...I have one (I overstayed for about three weeks after college) but the info is in that passport and I don't remember the exact date. Also, one question asks about previous trips to the US and that passport has many, many trips in it. What do I do? Now I know customs and border patrol has all this info in their system anyway because when I was denied entry last year because they pulled up my records and showed me a bunch of my last trips to the US, so should I not worry about it?

There is a question that asks if you've ever had a passport lost or stolen and then there's a box to explain. I was wondering if I should click LOST and then enter my explanation in the box about having to surrender a passport and therefore some of my information is missing.What do you guys think??? Please help, I'm freaking out.

Secondly,in the previous US trips box, how many trips do they want? I've been travelling to the US since I was a child, then went to college there, then travellled back and forth for months at a time after college--I have a LOTTT of trips. I don't quite know where to begin. I remember filling out these visa forms in the past and they used to have a time limit on that question (i.e. trips in the last 5 years) now they just ask for previous trips. What do I do ?

Sorry this was long guys but anyone have any insight on either question? Thanks.
