Hello everybody!

 

The beneficiary's passport expires by the end of february 2023. NVC already DQ'd the case and according to the statistics of Chile's interview times, we are estimating an interview before this year ends.

 

The webiste ( https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html ) says: 
"Passport – For each applicant, an unexpired passport valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the United States".

 

According to this, we decided that it's better to get a new passport, but, is bringing both passports (the old one registered in the visa process and the new one) okay? Has anyone had issues with this?

 

Thank you all! ❤️

Perfectly okay. Renew and take both passports to the interview. They'll issue the visa to the new one.

No issues.  If you browse the forums here, you'll find many examples of spouse visa applicants having to renew their passports prior to the interview.  Bring both passports like you planned.
