Passport issue

[Anna S 0]

Hello,

 

I am about to apply for my husband for spouse visa, he is currently in India. I was told he will need a new passport too with my name on it? Is it true? I never heard anything in US regarding that but I just want to make sure Its not correct, his passport doesn't expire until 2028 so I don't see the reason to get a new passport already just because he got married. I'd really appreciate a response. ❤️

YEP😂 The reason for this is cuz the won’t give your hubby his PCC without your name in his passport, we went through this exact scenario when my hubby went to get his PCC for NVC and found this out lol. His passport was brand spanking new and needed a new one lol. 
You can apply for 130 with the passport he’s got and when he gets his new one, just go and update it on your application or after you get 130 approved, then have him get new passport with your name in it and use the new passport # at NVC stage. 
Hopefully this helps! He’ll definitely need to get your name it passport tho unfortunately or he won’t get his PCC.

Note that this is specific to India and the police report.  The police report is what is part of the US immigration process, not the passport issue.  One begets the other.

So I can update the new passport information even after submitting the I-130? Do we get that option to edit the previous application?

You'll just provide the new passport information at the NVC stage.  No need to edit the I-130.
