My US visa is due for renewal.?

Question

I have a new passport since my marital name has changed. How do I go about the renewal ?

Answer 1

Just make sure when you go to renew it , you take your marriage certificate cause I know they make that a BIG deal!

Answer 2

You would have to do what you originally did, and apply for a new visa. Or, you could carry both passports and continue to use the visa in the older passport.

Answer 3

Documentary requirements for admission to the USA are generally a valid passport and a valid visa. Many people get 10-year visas, so they use the valid passport without a visa and the valid visa in the expired passport. It's no big deal.

One other thing is that the passport should be valid for six months after the period of admission, unless the passport is in the "six month club."  This is to ensure that the foreign country will accept you back, even with an expired passport.
