Renewing my US passport in the middle of pending i-130 for spouse

[Rianna623 0]

Hi!

 

My US passport expires on June 2024 and I am planning to travel in April so i need to renew my passport. I currently have an i-130 pending for my spouse who lives overseas. If I renew my passport before the i-130 gets approved will this cause issues for me? Do I need to updated the passport number or will they ask for my old passport?

 

Thank you in advance!

Irrelevant to the visa process.  Non-issue.

Though you might want a copy of your old passport showing visits to your spouses country (along with photos).   For the record I renewed my passport while my spouses case was in progress with 0 issues.

I asked an immigration lawyer this and they said you are able to update your passport. It just needs to be done before you visa appointment. Company is called immigration for couples, they do a q and a live on Facebook every Tuesday. All their previous videos are available to watch too. I asked on this weeks live if you want to go look at what she said.

OP is the US citizen petitioner.  As mentioned above, updating the USC's passport number is irrelevant after I-130 submission.  If the immigration lawyer said the USC must renew their passport before their spouse's visa appointment, I would question the lawyer's competence.

You asked the wrong question.  The OP is the USC petitioner, so will not have a visa interview.
