Hello, everyone.
I'm not gonna bore you with the details except to say that my GB passport runs out in October, my US green card expired in June and I have a temporary I-551 stamp in my soon to expire passport. My N-400 application has stalled and is now forecast to be granted after my GB passport expires.
My dad is back in Northern Ireland and is elderly and - with covid far from over - I want to make sure I can go see him if anything happens, god forbid.
So today I decided to renew my GB passport, but I need to send in my old passport, which has my visa in it, and it would be 11-12 weeks before I got my passport back. In other words, I couldn't fly out to the UK at short notice - or anywhere else - for 11-12 weeks. Or what if I lost my job and had to get a new one? That stamp is my proof that I can legally work/live in the USA.
What to do? Is there any situation where the UK Govt will allow you to retain your old passport and visa while they send you a new one? Anyone had this experience?
Thanks.
R.
