Unexpired foreign passport

[vareska 3]

I am still working on bits and pieces of my I-130 petition, and originally I was thinking of submitting photocopies of all pages of my Bosnian passport which I no longer use since I became a US Citizen, but the passport does have visa information every time I went to Bosnia to visit my husband.

However, now I am concerned that since the passport has not expired yet, that it might create problems.

I included a cover page which explains that I no longer use that passport since I became USC in 2007, but I am still wondering how it may be viewed that I have a passport of a foreign country.

Your thoughts, anyone?

Thanks

Hello vareska,

I am not really sure that the passport may cause you troubles, but were you required to give it away once you got the US passport, i.e. citizenship? In any case, whenever you have doubts about some proof, maybe it would be better to think of something else in order to avoid possible headache.

Think if you have any tickets to show (not only to Bosnia, but if you two went somewhere together), maybe letters, e-mail correspondence, photos, phone listings. You may want to add these even if you decide to use your old Bosnian passport as the proof.

Good luck!

Hello there,

Thank you kindly for your response. I already included a ton of telephone call logs/bills, e-mails, letters, chats, airline ticket stubs, pictures (dating back to 2005 as well as wedding photos) and affidavits, so I guess I could get away without disclosing my Bosnian passport... I went with the " the more the better" approach:)

I guess I was just looking for a confirmation of something I already knew was the right thing to do:D Thanks!

Oddly enough, I was not asked to hand in my Bosnian passport when I became a US citizen, I handed it to the lovely lady conducting our citizenship ceremony, but she kindly gave it back to me
