Expired Foreign Passport to Citizenship Interview?

Hi:

I have been an LPR for about eight years and have an upcoming citizenship interview next month. Although I have my current foreign passport (issued Jan 2005), I can't find my expired foreign passport (expired Jan 2005). The expired passport contains a couple of my foreign trips prior to 2005. Would not having my expired foreign passport be a game changer? Is there a hard-and-fast requirement to bring an expired foreign passport to the citizenship interview?

Regards
 
I think it should be fine as the trips in your lost passport happened prior to becoming LPR.

Hey- thanks for your response. My current passport has the 4 foreign trips that occurred in the last 5 years, but my expired passport (which I can't find) has a couple of older trips that occurred after I became an LPR.
 
My Question is almost the same, i can't find my expired passport, but he expired before i got my GC. Do you think i need to keep look for the old one or I don't need

thanks
 
There's no hard set requirement to bring your passport to interview. It can be asked for at interview to double check travel dates, but if you lost it or can't find it, it doesn't preclude you from obtaining citizenship. Some IOs may request to see evidence that you filed a police report for a lost/stolen passport, but that's the extend of it.
