Passport renewal during K-1 process

[LMB 0]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's a problem to renew a (UK) passport after the K-1 application process has begun? ie is it a problem that my current passport number was provided in the application, but a new passport would have a different number (even though I could/would have both passports in my possession at the interview)?

I have received the NOA1 and now waiting for the NOA2. My new passport would arrive before the post-NOA2 requirements commence.

My current passport is still valid for 3 more years however it is very full. It has just enough room for a US visa and a couple more country entry/exit stamps, BUT I would like to do some more travelling in the months before the visa process is completed which may mean there is no more room for a US K-1 visa or entry stamps when the process is finalised (and obviously I do not want to risk that!).

Thanks for any advice...

Can't you just get extra pages put into your current passport? I'm sure I have heard of this being done- never needed to do it myself though.

May be an option to look into. Seems like it would be much easier then trying to mess around with a new passport application and having a different passport at the interview.

I dont believe that is a problem , if UK is anything like the Philippine which i think it is . After you receive your k-packet from the Usembassy , you will have a list of requirement you need for your Visa Interview . Which im sure your Passport is one of those requirements ,( allso your passport needs to be valid for 6 months beyond your visa interview ) For the requirement of your passport , cause you visa is only valid for 6 months from the issue date of your visa .

Thanks. It would definitely be preferred, but UK stopped the option of adding pages several years ago... :-(
