Nie 6 Posted August 23, 2012 Is it absolutely necessary to renew my passport? I didn't even know that I could have until recently! I heard that undocumented have even been flying in the US!? Because I have a bit of weak evidence in for the two last years (just amazon purchase receipts and invoices), and, well, my passport is expired, so there's no way I could have left the country anyhow, right? I feel it would be more advantageous not to renew. What should I do?? Also, when photocopying my passport, should I photocopy all the pages from cover to cover (or last used page), or should I just photocopy the visa and I-94 pages? Thanks guys! =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm in the same situation you are. I have my expired passport that I got when I came here to the U.S. about 15 years ago. It is the only one that I have ever gotten so it still has the stamp on it with the date that I entered the U.S. The bad part though is that I lost my I-94 I have ebay and paypal receipts I am not going to renew my passport, but what I am going to do is get a matricula consular this saturday. I made copies of the first page which has all of the information and my picture on it, and of the page with the U.S. Visa and the page with the red stamp. Since you have your I-94, include it also. So to answer your question, no, it isn't absolutely necessary to renew your passport, as long as you have other forms of evidence to prove your identity, like school ids, matricula consular, birth certificate, expired visas and any other document that has your photo and name on it. 1 Nie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nie 6 Posted August 23, 2012 I don't have any form of national id. Jamaica doesn't offer that yet. But I do have a college ID, an old school id from Jamaica, my birth certificate, and expired visas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted August 23, 2012 That should be enough. There is an attorney answering questions right now here http://www.vokle.com...-and-nysylc#_=_ and she said that you should make copies of all pages of your passport to show that you haven't traveled outside of the U.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
