You need a machine readable ( new ) passport to travel to the US

The old Ghanaian passport is still valid according the legislation of Ghana.So there is no way the us embassy can render it invalid in any way.Its still valid.

It is valid to Ghana but the US can state what style of passport is good for entry into the US. The want a machine readable passport. If your passport does not have the machine readable format then it isn't good for travel to the US no matter what you can do with it in your home country. Most passports issued since 1980 are in this format . One the bottom of the page with your picture if there is information and lots of <'s and >'s it is probably a machine readable passport. The newest types also have a chip inside that contains an expanded information set. All you need is the one with the <<<>>> data

I heard that the Embassy is requiring the new passport for the visa process.

just us can you please explain a bit, does it mean i have to prepare towards getting a new passport, since my old ghanaian passport expires in 2013 and we still dont have an interview date yet? what about the copy of biometric data page i submitted already to nvc?

It is the normal process in most places that you get your old passport back when you get a new one. They usually punch a hole or cut the corners of pages. If you don't have an interview yet you have time to get a passport and then you won't have to hassle with it here. Until you are a USC you have to maintain a current foreign passport.

They are requiring new passports at the US embassy. Both my parents and my MIL had to get the new ones when they went to get their US visas.
