K1 visa, multiple valid passports

[K+S 5]

Hi guys,

I was hoping someone on here has experience with the following scenario since I wasn’t able to find anything on this topic.

the beneficiary in this case has three (3) valid passports because of frequent traveling due to work.

a fourth passport is also available and still in use du to a valid B1/B2 visa ( used in combination with valid passport)

 

Does the beneficiary need to bring all those passports to the interview or only the one he’s intending to use for the K1 visa?

 

I hope anyone can give some input here.

Over-preparation is better than under-preparation.  I would bring them all.

Hoping for the best. Just adds to the anxious feeling.

Indeed. Well the great thing about K-1 is that after the beneficiary enters on it, there will not be any traveling or working for a couple years. The beneficiary could probably use the rest.

I know it's easier said than done, but try not to be anxious, the CO will pick up on it. Just tell the truth and you'll be fine. And as @Crazy Cat stated, be over prepared, better to have too much evidence than not enough. Best of luck!

Doesn’t make any sense 🤔. Can you get three passport from same country? If I travel 190 countries everyday! I don’t think I would need three passport .

I think OP wanted to say He has got one valid passport but three expired ones with valid visas.

Well the reasoning is that one of the passports could be sent away in order to apply for a visa and you still need to be able in the meantime

when the passport is "sent away: for the visa it's maybe gone for a week or two. You wouldn't plan on then leaving the country on a different passport and then returning a week later to get the passport with the visa in it?

A foreign country will deny a visa or entry to you because your passport has stamps showing travel to certain countries. Example: an Israeli entry or exit stamp in some countries in the Middle East. 

You need multiple visas on an ongoing basis because of frequent international travel. Example: you work for an international airline or a multinational company

You need a passport for urgent international travel but your application for a foreign visa is delayed or cannot be processed in time for your travel. 

When you need a special validation for travel to a restricted country or area.
