WHAT IF I HOLD A VALID VISA IN AN EXPIRED PASSPORT?

If you have a valid, undamaged visa in a passport which has expired or been canceled, and the old passport is from the same country as your current passport, you do not need to obtain a new visa. You may simply carry the old passport together with your currently valid passport to enter the U.S. The two passports need not be attached or sealed. If you want to have a visa placed in your new passport, you will need to submit an application through one of our regular channels, pay the application fee and any issuance fees, and come in for an interview if required.
