QUESTION
Would a void passport be a problem for the day of the interview?
Asked on Jul 17th, 2015 on Immigration - New York
More details to this question:
I'm a foreign national married over a year to a US citizen. We applied for a green card and received a date for the interview. However, during the process of getting my fingerprints, getting my work permit and travel permit, my passport was voided (not expired) by the officials. Do they need to stamp on a valid passport? Do I need to get a passport ASAP?

For what reason was your passport voided? The USCIS no longer puts a stamp in your passport but you just get a green card shortly after the interview if you are approved. However, for any international travel you may want to do after getting the green card, you will need to have a valid passport.

They will not need to stamp your passport, but you should apply for a new one if you want to travel internationally.
