If you don't have it you could maybe request your entry from CBP

Do you have a current passport? If so, you should be fine; take that with you and explain that you don't have your old passport.

If you don't have a current passport, then you may need to file a police report and take that with you to the interview.

Thanks for replying. I do have a my replacement passport which is current, but the expired passport I didn't care much for until I read somewhere they might need it to count how many time I was out the country?

"Stolen" I really didn't think so, I've moved a couple of time and never care much about it where about until now. I've been living in the US since 1996 and my GC is about to be expired.

Update...they didn't need my old passport because it was expired beyond the 5yrs rule. Only documents going back 5yrs when you filing your N400

Good luck! You will be fine.

Just as an aside. When I did my naturalization interview, the IO was super chill and sort of hilarious. She did however, ask me for my old passport (pre biometric passport) which was old as hell. I have NO idea what she did with it. She took it to a back office out of my sight. I thought it was super odd because that passport was uber old. Maybe it had my China visa in there and wanted to verify? Who knows what these people do with things.

Did she return it to you?

Yes, she did. She just made a copy.
