yes i am pretty stupid..but i may have lost my passport. panic mode. it's ok for the aos as i've already scanned all the pages and printed them to send away, when it comes to going for the biometrics do i need to take my passport? or could i take my unexpired british driving license and the scans of my passport?

You need a government-issued photo ID.

You should probably report it as lost to the consulate.

On my biometrics appt letter it says:

Applicants must bring their permanent resident card, or a passport, driver's license, national ID, military ID, or State-issued photo ID.

Note it says "driver's license" not US driver's license.

So I would guess you'd be ok with your UK licence. If not you'll have to apply for a new passport and reschedule the biometrics for when you have it? Good luck!

In most countries drivers licenses are issued by a government agency, and do have a picture of the licensee.

When you said government-issued photo ID I assumed you meant US govt.... So you agree that he should be fine with UK licence then?

I agree with this. His license from the UK would be a government-issued photo ID.

Check if you left it in the scanner!

jeffreyhy

Or in the pants you put into the washing machine.

Scanner, that's a good one!

Jeff I can see now that of course you're correct. Government can mean not only the US govt. However, as a lot of OPs are either worried, paranoid, stressed, upset, (or all of those), it might help to clarify. I read it (assumed) as "US govt" and I'm not even worried, paranoid, stressed or upset at this very moment! So perhaps you could have written for example "govt issued ID so your UK license should be fine". Just a tip for next time!

jeffreyhy

As I (and Ian, and a few others) often advise - read what is written. Do not delete words, change words, or, in this case, add words that are not there.
And most important of all, do not assume.

Just two tips for next time.

I still think you could have clarified that issue, y'know, just to be friendly and (more) helpful... But we have to agree to disagree. At least I agree to disagree!

I'm just trying to help you break your addiction.
