Hi Everyone,

This could be a very common question, but I couldn't find much about it, any help is appreciated!

I recently received my EAD and Advance Parole card. Hoping to get back to Ontario for the week preceding Easter and thought it may be a good time to change my name on my Canadian passport since I can go into a passport office while I'm there. I spoke to the Canadian passport office and they said they recommend I drop off my application, then they can give me my old passport with the visa in it back on the spot and they will mail the new passport to me in Ohio. Apparently this will be done more quickly and cheaper than mailing the passport from the US. I also have a Nexus Card, so the US order services said this wouldn't create an issue returning to the USA.

So my question for the VJ experts is: What do I do if my green card interview gets scheduled for sometime in the few weeks after I have dropped my new passport application off and am waiting for my new Canadian passport? Can I go to the interview with my current passport that contains the visa, even though it has been "cancelled" (hole punched basically) by Canadian authorities?

Does anyone have experience with this?

THANK YOU!

Your K1 visa was a one-time visa that was invalidated the second you were processed at your US Port of Entry. I would suspect that you should bring a valid passport to the AOS interview.
