My husband has been 'in line' for the citizenship interview since March 6, 2017 (in Atlanta). His Mexico passport expires July this year. If we schedule an appointment at our local consulate to renew his passport, will this affect him at all before the interview?

Does anyone know how renewing Mexico passports works in the U.S.? Do they mail us the passport?

The renewal of his home country's passport has nothing to do with the US citizenship process. Just go ahead, get his new passport and keep the expired one, and have him take both to the interview. The two passports will cover the last 3/5 year's trips abroad, which is what they care about at the interview.

 

Also, he could be in line for another 6 months, or just 1, you never know. I'd hurry up and get the new passport asap as some consulates keep the expired one for a few weeks until they issue the new one and return both (mine does).

 

About the specifics of the Mexican passport's renewal process, I advice you to ask directly the consulate. Each consulate has its processes. It is common for many consulates to just mail the new passport once it is ready. Others have you pick it up if you live close enough.
