Passport renewal

[minkthecat 6]

Hi

Our five months will be up in february. My passport expires in June. If I renew it now. I will have it back in a few weeks but how do I inform USCIS and how will it affect the application, if at all?

Thanks

Hi,

It wouldn't matter. I had my passport renewed during noa1 to noa2, and we called USCIS and they said all we had to do is send them a photocopy of my new biographical page. By the time I got my new passport I already had the noa2 and so I didn't need to send them a copy. The US Embassy worried that USCIS forwarded them my old passport copy and I have a new one, and they also said it doesn't matter since they just had my case number, not a copy of my passport. it will be a problem, however, if your passport isnt valid so i think its better to change it now than later on..

I meant to say *I called the US Embassy* sorry

From US Embassy-London:

Passports: A Passport must be valid for travel to the United States and must have at least eight months validity beyond the issuance date of the visa. Children may be included on a parent's passport, but if over the age of 16, they must have their photographs attached to the passport.

You should get it now because they won't approve your visa with a passport expiring in June, even if you got NOA2 today.

This is your London Packet 3 instructions and forms

And this is your list of things to bring to the interview.

Why do you need to inform the USCIS... Was a copy of your passport required as evidence in the petition?

Hmmm.. I do recall that in the k1 packet we had to send a copy of the bio page of the passport..

Really? Better check again....because I doubt it is listed anywhere as required evidence for the alien fiance(e)
