Question about paperworks for the interview (merged)

[diegolas 0]

Hello,

I've been a permanent resident for 10 years, so I decided to apply for the citizenship. 

I have my appointment date and one of the documents they ask is all your passports.

After renewing my passport for the first time, the Chilean embassy kept the old one and give me a new one. 

What is going to happen?

I'm really stress about the situation.

Thanks for the help

Nothing will happen.  You can't give them what you, yourself, don't have........This is a non-issue.

Bring the one you have. This is not a problem.

Hi, 

Long story short, (and I know I posted this some day ago but I still stressing out about it).

I have my interview in March, I've been here close to 11 years. 

I do NOT have my first passport (my first entry, my fiancee visa, etc). I'm 99% sure that when I renew my passport for the first time the chilean consulate kept my old passport and give me the new one. 

Is that important? I have all the documents, my two years green card, my 10 year gc, my current passport. 

 

Thanks in advance

Interview for what? Naturalization?

 

No need to freak out. You can tell them during the interview that the consulate took your old passport. This is the case with me, the country where I am from they took your old passport when you renew it. 

 

Not a big deal, you can't bring what you don't have.

I agree with Deagle.  The consulate didn't even ask me for my old passport.  Don't freak out there is way to many other things to freak out about and this is not one lol.

Just take your current passport with you. They may not even ask for it. I know mine was with me and the IO didn't even bother. All they asked for was my greencard and ID. 

[Just Paul 4,591]

You are fine.   Some countries keep the old passport.   The US used to not return an old one unless you asked.

The IO didn't even ask for my first passport that I entered the US with 4 years ago (I was on K1 visa). He only wanted to see my latest passport.

This is not one of the things to lose sleep about

You are in the US why would you think your foreign passport matters. It doesn't. No worries. Have fun at the interview.

I believe the only reason they ask for you passport is to prove that you have not been out of the country for more than 6 months in the past 5 years.
