9 FAM 41.104 N2 Countries Having Agreements With
United States on Extended Validity of Passports
9 FAM 41.104 N2.1 Extending Validity Beyond Expiration Date in
Passport
(TL:VISA-327; 10-17-2001)
a. Some countries have agreements with the United States whereby
their passports are recognized as valid for return to the country concerned
for a period of six months beyond the expiration date specified in the
passport. The effect of these agreements is to extend the period of validity
of the passport for six months beyond the expiration date appearing on the
face of the document, for the purposes of INA 212(a)(7)(B)(i)(I).
b. As passports issued by the countries listed in 9 FAM 41.104 Exhibit
I meet the requirements of INA 212(a)(7)(B)(i)(I) until the date shown for
expiration, the consular officer could issue a visa at any time prior to that
date. However, such action might not be practical when only a very narrow
margin of time remains.
c. The consular officer shall inform the visa recipient that admission
into the United States will not be granted by the immigration authorities for a
period extending beyond the actual expiration date shown in the passport,
and that the alien’s stay in the United States cannot be extended beyond
that date until an extension of the validity of the passport has been
obtained.
d. The consular officer shall not issue a visa on the basis of an expired
passport unless the applicant is able to present to the consular officer
collateral documentation which, together with the expired passport, meets
the requirements of INA 101(a)(30) and INA 212(a)(7)(B)(i)(I).
9 FAM 41.104 N2.2 Passport Validity Insufficient to Cover U.S.
Visit
(TL:VISA-192; 05-14-1999)
If an applicant presents a passport valid for more than six months but
not sufficient to permit admission for the entire period of stay contemplated,
the consular officer shall urge the applicant to have the passport extended,
renewed, or replaced before visa issuance. In the event that this is not
feasible until after the alien’s arrival in the United States, the officer may
issue the visa. The officer shall then advise the applicant that the initial
period of stay will be limited because of the limited validity of the passport.
The consular office should also explain the procedures for seeking an
extension of stay from INS. Except for aliens covered by the provisions of 9
FAM 41.104 N2.1, the passport must be valid for more than six months,
since an alien presenting a passport valid for six months or less would be
inadmissible at a port of entry.
