I'm such a dumbass... I accidentally washed my passport with my clothes... I had it in one of my pockets and I forgot to take it out...

Everything's still legible but the page with my information is loose from the passport... I called my embassy here in the States and they can provide me with a new passport but it's not machine readable... Has anything like this ever happened to any of you? I'm in the process of changing to a green card and I'm about to get a travel document. Will they need my passport for this document? If not I will just go home with an emergency travel card from my embassy once I get the travel document from USCIS, apply for a new passport in Europe, and come back with both my new passport as well as the travel document... Advice anyone?

What is your status? For example, if you are here on VWP, you might also want to check on how to make sure you properly document your departure - if the I-94 is destroyed, you may need to get a new one -- etc.

January 28, 2009: NOA1

June 4, 2009: Interview - APPROVED!!!

October 11, 2009: Wedding

AOS:

December 23, 2009: NOA1!

January 22, 2010: Bogus RFE corrected through congressional inquiry "EAD waiting on biometrics only" Read about it here.

March 15, 2010: AOS interview - RFE for I-693 vaccination supplement - CS signed part 6!

March 27, 2010: Green Card recieved

I'm here on an M1 visa adjusting to permanent residence. I have copies of my passport and I-94 card. As for the actual I94 card it still has the I94 number legible as well as my name and expiration date, but it's kind of "washed off". Immigration is already processing my I-485 with the copy of my I-94 though, and considering I'm getting a travel document and later a green card I'm sure the I-94 won't be a big issue
