Okay to Renew Passport after DQ?

[BMWFIRE 3]

Is it okay to renew the passport which was uploaded to the NVC? 

 

Can I renew the passport and bring the new one and old one to the visa interview or will the new updated passport cause a delay since it's different from what was uploaded to NVC?

Thank you!

Because the passport has some outdated information needing to be changed.

I don't want to risk a delay at all! So we simply bring both with us and inform the interviewer that it's been updated, show it to him/her, and that's all? It shouldn't be any cause for concern?

Sorry, I'm not sure how common that is and what happens as a result.

It is not uncommon.  Just bring both passports.  They will attach the visa to the new one......no issue.

Thank you so much!

I also have a quick silly question not justifying an entire new post..

I just want to confirm that the applicant only needs to bring updated passport sized photos to the interview, not the petitioner (even if the petitioner/spouse is joining the interview).

I see no reason why the consulate would want pictures of the petitioner. Only the applicant's picture is on the visa.

So the passport says profession: student when the applicant is no longer a student. It also has outdated military information which is concerning since here in Egypt the military service is required except for exempted/postponed situations.

 

We are thinking about renewing it so that this information is updated incase it will cause a delay with the embassy or perhaps issues when trying to fly.

 

Does anyone know if this is actually an issue and we should get it renewed for this reason? It doesn't actually expire until 2023 so we just want to update the outdated information.

When I go to the site where you're supposed to choose the delivery address for your passport it says the below.

 

 

I realize we have the DS-260 but should this be a concern? Does this mean we need to go back on the DS-260 and update the new passport number once we receive it or would this not work considering the documents have already been sent to the embassy and an interview scheduled?
 

Or do we simply put the new passport number when we schedule the delivery and simply bring the old and new to the interview as you advised?

 

Please advise as im not sure what to do or if this message even applies to us. @Lucky Cat
