Old passport

[Sel_Chan89 0]

sorry I know I keep making more and more topics....

since my husbands passport expires in 2016 we were thinking of re-newing his passport before filing for the I-130. If we do this though the place will take his old passport and we wont get it back. Do we need the old passport (the one that shows his entry to and exit of the united states) for filing ? Or will this all be ok with the new passport?

thanks everyone for all the help that I've been getting here. I hope to one day return the favour.

You may want to make a complete copy of it just so you have it. Just wondering why you are going thru the process to renew it now given that it is still valid for 3 more years. You might see how hard it is to renew in the US and keep it until it is about to expire or see about planning a trip to Italy to renew it before it expires. For the Spousal visa, you do not have to prove meeting within the last two years like with the K-1, so I see no real need for the stamps to prove he entered the US other than photo copies.

Good luck,

Dave

my husband thought it would be best to change it cause last month in italy they came out with an updated version with a micro chip implanted in it. but I was thinking about waiting to get it done before it expires later on just because we have so many things to get done already as it is. and i'm sure they will still take his passport as is now (with no micro chip ). Thanks for the help
