Hi all, can anyone offer their guidance/experience please?

 

My husband's Israeli passport expires in January 2019. We are currently in the waiting period for his ROC paperwork to be processed. We did receive the 18-month extension letter (we filed for ROC in March 2018).

 

We know it is much easier to renew/extend a valid passport rather than deal with it once it expires. Will this potentially mess anything up with his immigration status? Has anyone had issues with passport renewal during their waiting window for ROC? The plan is for him to do it at an Israeli embassy in the US. We are trying to figure out what it involves (nobody picks up the phone!).

 

Has anyone had experience with this? If so, please share. He is just terrified of the unknown.

 

Thank you.

No, it will not have any effect on his immigration status. Depends on what the document requirement to renew his passport is, but I would send copy of his green card and extension letter with it.

 

I'm planning to renew my passport really soon and our timeline looks almost identical (I also filed ROC in March).

Hey everyone,

 

Just wanted to circle back and let everyone know that we were able to renew his Israeli passport at the Atlanta Israeli consulate without any problems. They did not ask for his green card or any other documentation regarding his immigration status in the U.S. - for many of you, this what you indicated, but I wanted to come back and close the thread!

 

If anyone is interested, they did want us to get an apostile stamp on our marriage certificate because his status with the Israeli government was "single (not married)" when he had his soon-to-be-expired passport, and we needed to get the apostile stamp added to our marriage certificate since we were married in the U.S. Regardless of what nation you're from, you might encounter something similar if you renew your national passport stateside after getting married in the U.S. - maybe that's common knowledge to some, but I did not know that. It wasn't a big deal or cost to get one, but it was one extra step.

 

Thank you all for contributing your comments!
