Old passports to interviews?

[Brittani 484]

I ask a lot of questions on here but I really do enjoy learning new things and I want to be prepared for the future. This isn't directed at one particular interview more of K1 then adjustment then naturalization interviews....

 

Would my fiance needs his old passport for any of these? I've researched and found conflicting answers from just straight no to yes to only if he was ever admitted into the US in the older ones. He only took two previous trips to the US when he was 18 and 21 to Florida for a Disney family trip both times. Well he's 38 years old now and has no idea where his old one is...it's way past expired anyway. His current one is the one that has all the trips he's taken since then to the US to visit me. 

 

I'm curious if this is an issue or something of the past? I've seen people say it only comes up during naturalization interview....

 

As always, thanks in advance for your knowledgeable answers. They are very appreciated.

 

*Also, he's a UK citizen...not sure if that matters*

If you have old passports they ask you to take them to the consulate interviews. If you lost them, there is nothing you can do. 

 

As for the interviews within the US, I don't know. But if I had to guess I'd say that UCSIS does not care about old passports for this type of AOS (from K1).

Considering, that in most countries you need to turn in your old passport when getting a new one, many people don't have their old passports. But, if you do have them, or have a copy of them, would be advisable to take them with you just in case.

I am a UK citizen who has gone from K1 to US citizenship. I'm old enough to have had several passports. I never had to show anything but my  active/current British passport at any step of the way. 

 

Note to previous posting- The UK returns old passports with the corner clipped when they issue a new one.

I've never shown my old passport through the whole process from visa to naturalization. (I got a new one with my married name in between marrying and sending off the I-130.)

However, one day I did grab my old passport (maiden name, unexpired but invalidated by clipped corner) by mistake before flying to the UK on vacation. (Completely out of character for me to do something like that. ) It worked out for me (thanks to a combination of oblivious airline staff followed by very helpful airline staff and helpful UK Embassy staff followed by helpful in-laws to airmail my passport to the UK so I could fly back to the US) but I still don't recommend it, so good that your fiance will probably not be able to make such a mistake.

 

At naturalization they ask for ALL your green cards. If you have them.

Oh my, I know you were probably a little nervous.

 

Believe me, I plan on saving everything. My fiance swears after he gets naturalized we're burning everything lol but I'll just put them in binders up away in the closet
