Concurrent filing I130/I485 - Lost passtport (Stolen)

[cvsmech]

Hi all,

Long story short, I'm here on L1 Visa, married a USC an year ago. Before I could mail my application, a theif broke the window my rental car and stole my laptop bag and Canadian passport.

My question is two fold, I've copy of my passport, and L1 visa.

1) Can I apply for I130/I485 and other forms while I am in a process of getting a new passport from Canadian Consulate.
2) Should I mention and provide police report# in a separate letter to USCIS in my green card application Package.

i've read on many forums that I don't need a passport. New I130 asks for a passport number for the beneficiary which wasn't required from what I understand.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

-Thankyou!

A passport is not necessary to apply. However, you will need some form of valid ID to get let into the biometrics appointment.
