So I lost my passport while travelling to Seattle about a month ago. I reported this to the UK embassy and they cancelled my old UK passport. My new passport is due to arrive in a few days.

 

What should I do regarding my current AOS application? Do I need to inform USCIS that my passport number has changed?

AOS from Visa Waiver:

06/27/17....Marriage at courthouse, IL 

07/11/17....AOS mailed 1.45pm  - I-130, I-130a, I-131, I-485, I-765, I-864 X2 (for wife and joint sponsor) - Day 0

07/12/17....AOS Packet arrived at Chicago Lockbox - Day 1

07/19/17....NOA 1 Email/Texts received 11.23pm - Day 8

07/22/17....NOA 1 physical copies arrived  - Day 11

10/17/17....We Have Ordered your new card (EAD)   - Day 98

10/19/17....Card Mailed! (EAD) - Day 100

01/12/18....Scheduled For Interview (EAD) - Day 185

02/13/18....Interviewed and Approved for 2 Year GC! :jest:   - Day 217

02/14/18....We have Ordered your new card (2 Year GC)!  - Day 218

Was a stressful journey full of ups and downs, cya in 2020 VJ. I'll be back when it's time to begin the dreaded I-751. Biggest advice - make sure you have a TON of evidence, be completely honest and you'll be fine. Good luck everyone! =)

I would assume you wouldn't have to do anything  after you get your new passport. I would do what @Lemonslice said and if they ask at the interview you can say you got a new passport because your old one was lost.

Nothing to do. Keep it safe and bring it to your interview, when scheduled.

Was just worried they'd look up my passport info and would see that my passport was cancelled.

I would advise you to keep all correspondence with the embassy (and police report if you filed one) and bring this with you to the interview. Sometimes government official get jumpy when passports are lost and it could help if you can show them the paperwork. I would definitely bring it up during an interview.

I had this in the middle of my K1 process, so everything was done with my first passport, then the most important page got almost torn out, and I had to get a new one. They invalidated my old one by cutting it up and placing a Dutch stamp on every page saying it was cancelled.

When I went to the embassy, I had similar worries, but everything was fine. It seems to either connect automatically for them, or they don't care. And for a government who cares so deeply about every detail, I assume the underlying system is decent, and shows your past and current passport or something. 

I didn't even have a question at the embassy, or when I went through my point of entry.

So breathe.

Thanks, that eases my mind a lot. I thought I was going to have to do a RFE and delay my application even more!
