I just received last night my Advanced Parole/AED together with the AOS interview on April 16,2016 but unfortunately 2 weeks ago I renewed my passport in Philippine consulate and they asked me to surremeder it. They said that they are going to arrived at my home on May 20. I have already my state photo ID. Are they going to ask for my passport as it was stated in the checklist? Can anyone help me here.

I don't have it already. Maybe my passport is already in the Philippines for renewal. Is there any way I can only use my Advanced Parole and Employment AD for the photo ID. Plus my state ID.

Yes those ID's are what you use for photo identification, but, they will ask for your passport. If I remember right, they will want the passport you entered the US with, for verification purposes and travel history since arriving. Also, any other passports you have had since you entered the US, to travel with.

That's my main problem. I don't have it anymore. I already surrendered it already 2 weeks ago. I have my copies of the visa with me. Do you think they are going to accept it or I need to reschedule the interview?

I wouldn't reschedule. If it were me, I would take what I had and go to the interview, explain why you don't have your passport. Then they can send an RFE if they really need/want it. Good luck!

Thanks for that info. I think I would do that. I don't have a choice.

Also, I forgot to mention, worse case scenario, they may just schedule you for a 2nd interview when you have your passport ready to show them. Did you get anything from the passport agency stating you are renewing it and when you will get the new one, as proof to back up your story? If so, then take it with you. Again good luck. I am sure more experienced individuals will chime in if I am missing something.

I actually asked my friend who had interview last week in Seattle and she said they didn't asked for the passport, the AED/AP is already enough. I don't know if I'm going to revive my passport again as they are going to give me the new passport.

They may or may not ask to see your passport; it isn't guaranteed one way or the other.

There was an option for you to retain your PHL passport with the promise to surrender the same when the new passport arrives. It's been like that here in New york consulate of PHL.

I was wondering why they at the consulate where you applied didnt inform you of that.

with regards to you question, what did your letter of interview say?

there should be an advice what you are supposed to bring.

you may ask the consulate if they still have the passport in there possesion and borrow it from them. just show the letter.

Hypnos is right. They may or may not ask you. I personally dont believe it is a requirement to present it at the interview. I mean people can lose their passports as well and therefore not have it to present.

So while its unfortunate that the OP doesnt have her passport presently Im not sure how much of an impact it will be. The best advice is to go to the interview and if it comes up explain what happened and why you dont have it. As stated they can either RFE you to send it when you get it, or send you another request for interview to present it.

You have sufficient ID to get into the appt, so I think youre going to be fine. Please post back and let us know how it goes.
