My wife finally got her interview date on Nov 15 but one of the documents to bring to the interview is proof of spouse birth or naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship.   When applying for n400 we used old US passport date as when i (US Citizen) became a citizen.  I have a new passport that we attached to the application as proof. 

 

My question is should my wife take original passport of mine to the interview? that's all i got and they accepted the copy of passport and gave us the interview, so i guess it should be fine.

Spouses are not required to be at naturalization interviews. Even if you happen to be there, you won’t be allowed into the interview and will have to wait outside while it’s being conducted for your spouse. If you have your important work meeting by all means attend it. As for your evidence if U.S. citizenship, there’s no special preference just any evidence that works for you. It could be your passport or birth certificate. Any will do so don’t worry about it.

When my wife had her interview, she brought both my certificate & my US passport. They only looked at my passport but not my certificate. 

What they need is the spouse's proof of US citizenship so the passport will do.
