Hi everyone,

As you all know this journey has been full of surprises for us. We were placed in AP end of February and now the processing has come to an end. Now my fiance is requested to submit any old or new passports on the document he recieved from the consulate. My fiance has only one passport and does not have another old passport. So, the consulate just told him to submit that passport with a letter stating that is his only passport. Do you know why we got this request? Should we be worried in regards to any more delays? Thank you once again.

They are probably looking for any travel, as documented on passports.

Some people "wash" their travel history by getting a new passport prior to getting a visa.

Seems to be a standard request from some embassies.

I wouldn't be worried as long as you were honest in the whole process.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Thank you so much. It really puts our mind at ease knowing that this is standard procedure.

In Packet 3 checklist for our Embassy, they request from everybody to submit old passports if it shows travel to the USA. Here is a copy of the Line:

PREVIOUS PASSPORT(S): Applicants who have traveled to the United States should also

present all previous passports.

Naturalization N-400
