Misunderstood Question in Application Form

[sarahmacalalad 0]

I'll be taking a trip with my hubby to New York at the end of June. This trip is sponsored by his company. As such, I'm applying for a non-immigrant visa which the company will generally process after I provide the necessary documents and information.

A bit of background: I am half-Filipino, half-British. I have passports for both countries. My British passport, which I have used for all my out-of-country trips in the past (London, Spain, and France; the latest of which was about eight years ago), is currently expired and I haven't renewed it for a couple of years now, I think. (I have one out-of-country trip on my Filipino passport, Hong Kong two years ago. For the US visa, I will be using my Filipino passport as I do not have the budget to renew my British passport right now.)

My question is that, on the online application form, it said something like "Do you have a passport for the other nationality?" I answered "no" because I was thinking my passport is expired, so it's as good as having none anyway. Was this the wrong thing to answer? Do I have a huge chance of getting denied because of this? Should I be worried?

If that is the exact wording of the question, then you should be fine, as you do not have a curent passport for the other nationality.

IMO, you should have answered "yes" because even if your British passport is expired its still proof that you have dual nationality.

If the question was "do you have a valid passport for the other nationality" then "no" is the appropriate answer.

Passport isn't a "passport" once it expires ... can't travel with it, so it is just decoration. But with that said I sort of agree...
