I am applying my citizenship. But I lost my passport sometime earlier. I am not sure whether the passport is a must during the interview. Please advise.
Thanks

Did you get police report?
Do you have a copies?
Well sometimes people "losing" passport with COP stamps on it, right before interview.
Probably they gonna give you a hard time.
Dear Uncle Joe:
I lost my passport as well, But I never went outside USA after I arrived in USA for 12 years.
I had a photocopy of that passport and have a police report. Also, I put an AD to declare that Passport was lost.
Do you think I will be in trouble in citizenship interview?

Yeah off course if your police report dated month before application they gonna ask you questions.
If you have old police report It's not gonna be a problem, i think you should be allright
You will be okay because your exit and entry will show that you had no trip outside of US and that itself wil protect you from breaking continues residency and in case if you are asylum or refugee shows that you did not go anywhere including back to COP. USCIS could get your exit and entry in matter of few click so just tell them the truth and they could check your claim regarding this matter if will be any doubt in USCIS side.
Don't worry at all.
They usually don't but if there is any question in their mind about it or feel what applicant claims might not be acurate, it would be easy to pull the record. In your case, You just tell them that you have lost your passport and your application will show your trip history and if IO have any other question about it he or she will ask you and write it down in your application and will or will not check on it. At the end they might not even ask about it.
That is your file with USCIS so called A file. It contents all your application and petition you have ever filled with USCIS along with possible AR-11 and other letter or possible requests which has been send to USCIS directly by you or on your behalf by attorney or your represenative. So basically that is your file and they know some information already about your past immigration movements.
They could but that just will show passenger's exit to first destination and entry from whenever board the airplain. keep in mind that if someone leaves states to point A and continue his/her trip to point B, C,D or more, there is no way that USCIS have that information and the only source will be the document was used to travel. After all you might not even be question and all depend on IO and how they feel to handle the interview.But it is very good idea to be ready if IO asks.
