Hi! I wanted to ask: if me and my husband would be called for a Green card interview, would I have to bring my old passport with maiden name in it and K1 visa or they will not ask for it anymore as a photo ID? Do I need a new passport from my country I was born in? I have EAD with my photo and may have driver's license very soon and I have Social Security card. I would like to send my old passport away to get the new passport but I am afraid that they would ask to see that K1 visa again in Green card interview...

They asked for my old passport and looked at the visa, so if I were you I'd hold on to that passport a while longer.

which country are you from? as far as i know, when you renew or apply for a new passport your embassy should not hold / keep your old passport during that time. you present it at the time of application and you present it when you collect your new passport (during this time they "cancel" or invalidate the old passport as well). 

 

and i agree with Scandi - best to hold on to your old passport, at least until your green card is in your hands.

I am from Latvia, I think I would have to mail my old passport to the embassy. I think I will wait till I get the green card and then change the passport to be sure all is good. Thank you all!
