Guys, I have a question. In I-797C (NOA) USCIS mentions to bring expired passports to the N400 interview.

I have my current NON-US and not expired passport of my home country but I do not have my expired passports.

Have they (immigration officers) ever asked you to show your expired passport?

I'm applying based on 5 year rule.

They want to see all passports you've had since you became a permanent resident (or in some rare cases all passports since you came to the U.S.). They sometimes double check your entry stamps against the trips listed on your form and against the CBP records they have.

If you've only had one passport since you became a permanent resident, it shouldn't be a problem.

Even if you've had multiple passports but only have one, I don't think it'll be an issue.

I've never seen anyone have any trouble because of this.

Thank you for reply. I entered the US in 2010 and passport was expired in 2011 so my current passport is from 2011 (date of expiration is 2021).

I have a prove of my travel history from CBP DHS (US Customs and Border Protection of Department of Homeland Security).

I have a prove of my travel history from CBP DHS (US Customs and Border Protection of Department of Homeland Security).

Then it should suffice. As Jimmy said they just want to have a look at your passport to see your travel history. No worry.
