Do your logbook in a manner which is going to make sense to airlines...they are the target audience for your logbook.

Hi everyone I bought the Airline interview test prep course from the Shappard air, would this be enough prep for the written exam portion at the interview? Or is it better to just study for ATP questions!? Thanks a lot in advance

Would not having a US passport be justification to not select a potential candidate for an interview?

Memorize 14 CFR 91.175, have as good of an understanding as you can of, and be able to draw a schematic of the electrical system of your most complex aircraft. That's the entirety of the written part.
The oral technical evaluation consisted of turbine engine basics, METAR/TAF decoding, trans-sonic/swept wing aero (mach tuck, etc.), a little bit of FAR speed restrictions, etc, and Jepp approach plates and STARs. My biggest issue was STARs, since flying slower aircraft meant that I'd never actually flown one, and I didn't understand them nearly as well as I'd thought I had.
They need people just like everyone else right now. If you have a good grasp of that stuff, you'll be just fine.

I doubt they won't hire you for it but they're going to tell you that you need it by new hire class. I'd just go get it before the interview then you can say you've at least applied for it. Doesn't it take a while to get it, if I remember correctly? You don't want to delay training and seniority because you waited to get a passport.

Might have some issues getting TSA clearance to start training depending on which country you are from. I know a pilot who had to wait a month for TSA clearance to start training after getting a CJO (not Skywest).
