Hi all,

Quick question: I just received my interview date was really quick (had my medical on 7/10/15). Anyway I've just paid the K visa application fee (more money grrrrrrr) and on the e-mail they send you to print off it states in the section to bring on the day; "all previous passports, especially those that show international trips or previously issued visas to the United States". I got a new passport around 3 years ago and it was a same day service where you go to Victoria and they issue on the day. However I never got my old passport back, which had my student visa when I went to school in Miami and a number of trips abroad. Is this going to be an issue that I don't have this? Is there anything I can do? Appreciate any advice.

Many Thanks,

Andy

I know it has always said that, but can tell you I am aware of many people who were not required to show their previous passport. Some reported they didn't bring it and were never asked. Others brought it and they looked at them strangely and declined to take it...Kinda like "why would I need your old passport?"

So if seven years of London experience helps calm your nerves, that's my two cents. If they,should ask, tell them you don't have it. I really don't think you will have a problem.

I had my old passport with valid visa in it so i brought it just in case. i never was asked about it but I gave it to them and they took it. Not a big deal at all. if you don't have it they will not ask you.
