Irish/UK passport..Which one to use??

[erikalovescrippy 1]

Hello!! maybe someone could help me on this one... my husband came over on a K1 (through his uk citizenship) in October 2013 and we got married in January but decided due to a lot of circumstances that we are going to live in the UK. well he left the US on day 90 of the k1 visa. he plans on coming back here for a few weeks in September before i move there but his UK passport expires at the end of this month. His irish passport is current and he wants to just come over here with the irish passport. I told him that it would appear shady but he disagrees......anybody got any thoughts??...any input would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since you will both live in the UK eventually, why not renew the UK passport?

As an aside, I suspect that he might also need an ESTA to get back into the US, since he didn't leave the country with an approved AP. I'd also be prepared for some additional probing at the US border since he hasn't followed the usual route of K1 --> married --> AOS/AP/EAD before leaving the country. Someone with more experience of this might be able to weigh in here.
