What I don't get is, why they want to see my old expired passport. They have access to the data. And what if I'd say to the consulate that they can shred it after the arrival of my new one? I told them to send it back to me only out of nostalgic reason. 🤷‍♀️ 

Thank you. Hope you'll hear something soon as well.

USCIS may want to see passport for other reasons other than departure and arrival from the US.

 

You list countries visited and USCIS may want to cross-check information reflected by stamps in your passport. What if you visited North Korea, Cuba, other countries and locations US considers elevated risk? 

 

Many countries allow keeping old passport as long as you request it when renewing...

Yes, that is what I start to think as well. Let's hope the consulate in Miami sends my old one back in time. Fortinately I requested it back. But what if not? Oh well....Thanks for the explanation. ☺️

I think as long as you can get any written response from embassy it should be OK.
