Hi, my husband got a new passport between filing our I-130 and submitting documents to the NVC. Someone said on another VJ page that we need to bring an updated I-130 to his interview? That sounds weird though because we'd have to update a lot information. That was about 15 months ago, so I have since moved back to the US, changed jobs, etc. To be safe, he'll bring his old passport and two copies of it, but filling out a new copy of the I-130 is something I have never heard of.

 

Thoughts??

Whoever said that was grossly incorrect.

 

The only passport that will be required for the interview is the valid one; no need to bring the expired one unless it contains entry/exit stamps from trip the two of you took together.

I find in life that lots of things I never heard of before are actually true and correct.  However, this is NOT one of them.  Just use the new passport information going forward.

Thanks y'all. I already plan on my husband bringing far more than he probably needs. I want him to have anything they could possibly ask for! Fortunately he's in a small country with shorter waits and such.
