@kaka8miranda the questions are about the passport used at last arrival.

 

You use details of whichever passport that was used to enter the US last time.

 

You cannot enter on expired passport. If you entered on new passport and showed visa in expired passport, put details of new passport.

 

Attach scans of all pages for both passports to the application.

Question states newest issues passport and then refers to expired passport. 
 

Question 21.B on I-765.

 

new passport doesn’t have the visa while old one does. 
 

Entered on old passport before expired and now have new one!

Where questions ask about newest passport, put the details about new passport. Where questions ask about passport used at last entry to the US, put the details of the old passport. I think it's clear?

It’s the passport he used to enter which is now expired so can that one be used as current passport on the form? 

If this is the only passport he has, e.g. he didn't get a new one, use the expired passport details. If he got a new passport, put its details in the current passport question.

getting a new one will take 6 months to receive it and that we’ll prolong this application so we’re thinking of just using the old expired one.

Yes, he is not required to have an unexpired passport for AOS. He will need it later to travel though.
