Renewing a Passport during AOS filing

[snapcracklepop 0]

Hi there,

I just mailed my AOS/EAD/AP woot! However there's a slight chance my Canadian passport will expire before I get approved for any of these applications.

I would like to renew my passport AND change my name to my married name. Will this affect my AOS filing in any way? (all my AOS/AP/EAD forms have my married name) I'm also wondering what the pros and cons are between renewing my current psprt before it expires vs. letting it expire and requesting a new one. Do they give you an entirely new one either way?

I'm sure lots of people have been in a similar situation, and would love to know how you dealt with it.

Cheers and thank you

Should be no problem but I would copy every page of the old passport (even blank pages) before renewing it. You may or may not get the old one back. Somebody who recently renewed a Canadian passport can confirm that for you.
