Change of Passport before my Interview in Singapore

[HanaHana 1]

Hi,

As my passport (A) expires next year, and given the IR1 visa will be a 10 years period, I have applied for a new passport (B) to coincide with the 10 years duration.

All forms submissions were based on Passport A. I am going for my interview with US Embassy in Singapore in July 2024.

 

My questions:

1. Which passport details (A or B) should I enter into the ustraveldocs.com? 

2. I thought the ustraveldocs.com is to indicate my choice of passport delivery. Somehow, I've seen appointment schedule tab, that shows nothing was scheduled. Can this be ignored?

3. Do I have to inform the US Embassy of my new passport details prior to my interview?

 

Many thanks

Hana

If you have new passport (B), use that for everything. Won't passport A being canceled once you receive passport B?

 

Also, IR1 visa is not a 10 year visa. It expires 6 months after your medical exams. When you enter the US with it, it expires one year after it's endorsed. Your GC however will be a 10 year GC if you've been married for more than two years.

Thanks. Yes, my medical exam has been updated with passport B and passport A has been cancelled. But the US Embassy in Singapore has yet to know about that. Thanks for correcting me. I was referring to the 10 years GC which I understood it will be issued pretty soon when I enter US with the IR1 approval.

Don't worry. Just present your new passport at your interview and CO will update the system with it. And will also afix your visa to the new passport.
