    expired passport that still has a valid Visa

    My husbands passport has expired, he has got a new one so thats not an issue. The problem is, his valid visa which expires Sept 2006 is in the old passport.

    As the visa has not been damaged and the page that it is on has not been clipped, does he just take both passports with him when travelling to Florida?

    The embassy website is not much help?

    I think he can but would recommend you get an official reply to be safe. I did travel to the usa under the same circumstances.

    Both myself and Philip have got visas in old passports. We just take both the expired and current passports with us. Have done this a number of times and not had any problems, however don't know what the exact rules are.

    We have travelled using both passports for the past three years - still have 5 yrs to go on the visa in the old, expired passport.

    [/quote]You have to travel to the US with TWO passports until the visa expires, you won't get a new one from tha embassy before that time...

    Hope this helps (a bit) [msnsmile]
