I have dual citizenship, one from Turkey other from Bulgaria. My Turkish passport has been expired and has a valid US visa. My Bulgarian passport is valid and does not have US visa. Can I get in US if I show both of them? (FYI, I will depart from Turkey. And my Turkish passport does not have a puch or hole on it.)

Thank you so much.

My old passport with a valid US B1/B2 was cut diagonally (when I renewed it) in the corner tip of it. One corner of the US visa sticker was slightly cut but it was on an empty part, which is under the series of letters. Do you think I can still use it?

Thanks, Dana

Hi Bhaumik,
So different names on passports can get tricky when entering the US. However yes in theory you can use both passports when entering the US with one as the active passport and one with the visa.

What are my options if my valid US visa is in my 2nd last expired passport? Can I travel to the US with my last 3 passports A,B and C where A is an expired passport containing the valid US visa, B is my last expired passport and C is my current valid passport?

Thanks, Ong

Hi Gok,
Yes that is the point that you can use your old passport for the purposes of the US visa.
You can’t transfer the visa to your new passport as the only way to get a new visa in the new passport is to go to a US Consulate or Embassy interview and get approved.

Good to know that you can travel with the old and new passport together.

But if you want to transfer the valid visa from old passport to new from within US, is there a process ?

Thanks,

Gok
