My passport is soon to expire this year in August and i' know you need atleast 6 months valid left to travel. I have my Interview for my green card on the 31st January and i was curious to know if anybody has any information on what happens with my passport when i apply for a new one, do i get an American passport? I'm very confused on how it works

 

thank you

Nope.  You don't get a USA passport until you are a citizen.   You should renew asap 

YMMV

Nothing to confuse. Your UK passport+ GC is using when you travel abroad. If it almost expired, you can renew your UK passport before travel. You will not get a US passport until you become US citizens by naturalization. You can apply for US citizenship after 3 year of GC holder ( still married to US Citizen), or 5 year as standard.

No you apply for a renewal passport of your country of citizenship. You will only be able to apply for US Naturalization (Citizenship) after three years of your first GC approval and that's provided you are still married to your USC. Otherwise the wait is 5 years.
