Nonimmigrant Visas

Visas in Old Passports

Applicants With Current A Visa In A Passport

If you have already received a B1/B2 business or visitors visa in the past, you should use that visa until it expires. The visa is still valid even if it is in an expired passport. DO NOT REMOVE the visa or the page on which it appears in your old passport; simply present both passports to immigration authorities in the U.S.

We are unable to transfer a visa from an old passport to a new passport. You will have to apply for a new visa if the previous visa has already expired or will expire in less than six months.
