passport expiring and visiting the UKHi
Hi everyone, I'm thinking about going back home for a visit in April or May, i have a valid visa but my passport expires in August, does anyone know if that will cause me any problems when i return back to the States or should i renew it before i leave. If i renew it any ideas on how long it might take? many thanks Mick

Re: passport expiring and visiting the UKHi
It shouldn't make a problem for entering the US.
Depending on the visa though, you might only get a I-94 stamp date of the expiration of the passport. Can renew it in the UK quickly and it's a bit cheaper. It's taking around 4-6 weeks in the US generally, some are quicker, some slower. |

I am sure I heard one of my relatives say there has to be 6 months remaining on a British passport before they can travel. I think they were referring to the USA. Am I wrong?

I believe there is a reciprocal (albeit, largely silent) agreement between the US and the UK that allows you to be admitted as long as your passport is not more than 6 months expired. That said, I'm not sure whether or not the airlines will let you get on a flight with an expired passport... but that's not an immigration issue.

Am I wrong? and would this affect returning too the US for someone without permanent status.:confused: May have misunderstood the source of the info?:unsure:

Not if you have a visa. Doesn't matter if you're a LPR though. |

Depends on the visa, B1/2 etc and they'd only stamp you in for the length of the passport. I don't know about work based visa's, they still get a I-94 with a jump ship date so I'd have thought expiration date might come into play, but it's never been a concern for me so not really looked into it.
