Hey y'all!

I've been panicking thinking about this, so maybe someone can help me out.

My Canadian passport expires next week. I just did biometrics last week here in California for AOS (thru k-1visa)

Am i allowed to have an expired passport? Will that affect me in a bad way? I am worried about getting an interview and having an expired passport. I do have a valid Canadian Drivers License.

Thank you in advance!!!!

Agree with Reanjo. You don't want to be living abroad with an expired passport, and it's usually easy to get an expat passport renewal from your local consulate.

I just renewed mine by mail and it only took 2 or 3 weeks, i think. You have to send your old passport, so make a photocopy of it before you send it away, just in case you have a sudden interview (unlikely).

The passport does not need to be valid, should you have an interview and need to bring it.
