Passport Issues!!

[mejduprey 0]

Hi,

My Green Card interview is scheduled for April 20. I have enough pages in my passport for my Visa, but I just realized that I may not have enough pages in my Passport for a trip I will be taking afterwards.

Here is my question:

If I get a new passport done before my interview, will this be an issue? I've sent in photocopies of my current passport and I guess that it might screw everything up if I show up with a brand new passport. Or does it?

Has anyone ever submitted all their paperwork to the NVC, then applied for a new passport before the interview?

Please let me know soon!

i think it would help us answer your question if you let us know what visa you came on.

If you are going to your green card interview, why do you need a page for a visa? You won't be getting another visa put in your passport at the interview.

I don't think it's necessary to have your old passport, though.

Good luck getting a new one before the 20th though. Since I'm sure the office is closed Monday, you only have about 3 or 4 days for them to process it before your interview.

Sorry.

I'm a Canadian, doing the IR1 application. My interview is in Montreal on April 20.

I was under the impression that they stick an entry visa into your passport at the US Embassy, then you immigrate into the US with that entry visa (perhaps it's in the form of a stamp or sticker).

You can do a 24 hour rush process for a new passport. It costs $70 on top of the regular fee. Just wondering if I show up with a new passport other than the one that is photocopied and documented on the DS230 form if it will be an issue.

Okay now yiou are making more sense. see what happens when you don't fill in your time line?

I thought the 24 hour timeline was only if you have an emergency.

Someone will answer you better here. Just give them some time.

Sorry about no time line.

I always am making mental points to go through my docs and log in my info, but never get around to it.

Hmmm. Maybe it is just for emergencies....isn't this an emergency?!

Kidding.

I'm looking forward to a reply.

Thanks!
