It depends entirely on the country of your passport. Some countries want evidence of legal status in order to ensure that you haven't become a US citizen; in this case you might have trouble. Such countries will generally also accept proof that you have illegal status, or otherwise is not a US citizen, but this can be hard to figure out how to get, as there is no US agency that issues proof that you're illegal or a noncitizen. An I-485 receipt might work though.

I'm originally from Jamaica.. Greatly appreciate your advice, Thank you.

I-485 doesn't require a copy of an ID, but I-765 and I-131 do, so maybe you have to wait to apply for those, unless you have a copy of your passport. Also, you will need a photo ID for the biometrics appointment, so try to get a replacement passport by then.

Will the fact that i've overstayed be an issue in replacing my passport ?

You don't need a passport for AOS. You need the I-94 from entry and I-94s from the last few years have been electronic (so can't be lost anyway) if you entered by air. You might need the passport number to search for I-94 so hopefully you still have that. The I-485 form also asks for the visa number and consulate of issue of the visa you used to enter, so if you used a visa to enter, hopefully you have that information or else try to get it from the consulate or something.

I am assuming you are marrying a US citizen. If so, it doesn't matter for AOS that you're out of status.

Thanks for your quick response.. I have no current form of photo ID .. will that not be a problem for filing?

Hi, not sure if i'm posting in the right forum but i've been visiting my fiance in the US since January of this year. We're set to get married this weekend but last week we were robbed at gunpoint and among the stolen items was my passport which of course i'll need for AOS. My time issued has now been expired so while i believe i can get the passport replaced i'm not sure if me overstaying will affect that in anyway.. if anyone has any advice on how we may proceed i'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you
