Interview scheduled but I don’t have my passport

[CharlieJK 12]

I received my rescheduled interview letter today (first one was cancelled a year ago because of Covid). One of the documents that I need to bring is my UK passport, as I’ve entered and left the US on it. However, it expired last month and so I’ve applied for a new one and had to send it back. There’s no chance of it being returned before my interview, as my passport renewal application is on hold as my UK and Irish passport have different middle names. The UK won’t issue a new passport until my Irish passport has middle names added and Ireland are only processing emergency passports at the moment.

 

Is there any issue if I turn up for my interview without my UK passport? From the photocopies I’ve sent they will be able to see that it has expired, and I can supply proof of my new application and of Ireland putting a hold on passport applications.

They need the passport(s) to confirm the overseas trips that you have listed. I don't think it's a big deal that you don't have the passport if you are nowhere close to breaking the physical presence and continuous residence requirements. I was asked for all my passports but then my IO didn't do anything when I placed all of them in front of him. You should be fine.

My IO checked through my passports. Hard to say if it would have been a problem if they hadn’t been there.

I had my interview last week. They didn’t even ask for my passports and the officer had all the details of my trips in front of her (even ones I had taken since filing my N-400 - much to my surprise). 
 

My interview was via Zoom. The officer wasn’t in the same room as me so wouldn’t have been able to check through my passport anyway. I had to put everything I brought with me into a drawer next to me and only allowed to keep my green card and drivers license on the desk. I had to hold these up to the camera. Nothing else even made it out of the drawer.
