Today I met with my lawyer to file for AOS through marriage. 

I eneter the US legally in 1994. Everything is in order but, my lawyer is worried about the condition of my passport. My bio page on my passport is not attached to the passport. She is afraid that once I go to my interview they may question of the passport actually belongs to me since nothing ties the single bio page to the actual booklet. 

 

Did anyone else have this problem or know if this would be an issue? 

 

TIA

A passport without the bio page cannot be used as a form identification. 

 

Do you need the passport for AOS? If so, apply for a new one at the Mexican Embassy here in the US.

I don't need it as a form of ID. I need to for AOS. my lawyer is worried that during my interview, they will question if the passport is actually even mine, since the bio page tore off.

well yeah of course they will question it. the passport is altered and they will want to know how that happened. which is wierd that only that page was damaged.

 

also the passport number should be on the bio page as well as the other pages in the book. which ties them together.

I don't think the numbers matched back then..

are you talking about the booklet number and the number on the bio page? If so, then mine don't match. I check my moms and hers doesn't match either and hers is in perfect condition.

Book and passport numbers are different. Your consulate should be able to issue you a new passport.

If they issue me a new passport, it won't have my entry stamps on it though will it?

No. Not sure what kind of ID you have otherwise.

I have my Texas I'd. I don't need the old passport for identification. I need it to prove I entered legally for my AOS.

how can you prove the entry stamp in there is for your bio page though. a person's word is not good enough for this.

This is exactly what I'm asking in my post. 

I know the bio page belongs to the passport book. I need to know what my options are.

Please read the above link. If USCIS deems your passport invalid as proof you are in the same situation as anyone who lost their passport.

 

Its also a bit concerning your attny does not know this! Is he a reputable immigration attny or just an attny that you are paying unnecessarily to fill out the papers?

Thanks for the link. My lawyer emailed me about doing an FOIA. My fear is that they won't locate any of my files since my last entry to the US was in 1994. 

 

I had my I-94 but my father lost those years ago...
