Taking Old Passports to K1 Interviews ?

[English Muffin 59]

I don't remember all passports being on the checklist. I looked and don't see it. Where did I miss it?

I guess things must have changed, I was definitely asked for them in July of this year.

It only makes sense that they'd might want to see passports from when you've had a GC, since what they really want to know is have you left the US and if so, for how long (because you have to have been in the US enough to be able to naturalise). Although, that really all ought to be in their own records.

There's no way I could produce all my old passports - particularly as one was stolen. I'm not about to lose any sleep over it - there's no way I'm going to be the only person who naturalises (eventually) who does not have their old passports from before emigrating.

you are right, if you have them take them, if you do not have them for whatever reason then you cannot, simple as that really. Not like you can apply for a certified copy is it.
