Expired Passport has expired USA visa but applying for B2 on new passport and dont have old passport physically
Do I need to mention that I had been to USA as a minor (with expired passport and visa details) on the DS 160? If yes, is it okay to appear for B2 visa not having the expired passport but only a printed proof of the visa? I have all the details of my old passport and visa with me but it is not in the country I am residing in currently. Will I face any issues in the visa interview?
Best Answer
You must answer the DS 160 questions accurately. The consular officers have access to electronic records of travel into and out of the USA as well as records of visa approvals and refusals. It's highly unlikely that you will even be asked to produce old passport(s). I have never been asked. And if asked, just tell the officer why you don't have it.

U.S. visas cannot be transferred from one passport to another. You can travel to the United States with both passports, or you can apply for a new visa. As long as the four names match from the old passport to the new passport, and are in the same order, you may travel with both passports.Do I need to renew my US visa when I renew my passport?

You want to renew a visa you previously had. So, if you had a B2 visa, you can only apply for B2 visa renewal. The US Embassy did not deny a recent visa application from you. If, after your visa expired, you applied for another US visa and that application was rejected, you cannot apply for renewal.What happens to Visa when Passport expires? Visa Validity
