Passport Renewal and Citizenship Issue-Nepal
My mother has MRP passport (which is going to expire) with valid US visa. Now, she is going to renew her passport but the government office mentions that the citizenship number in her old passport is incorrect and the new one (which will be electronic passport) will have a different citizenship number. I think this will create problem in travel. Is there a way out for this? Can citizenship number be changed in original (old) MRP passport itself so as to match it with the new electronic passport? (Country: Nepal)
Best Answer
The US does not allow US visas to be transferred to another passport.
Your mother should take both passports.
It is the name on the passport that is important.
If you are concerned about the change in citizenship number, she can either take with her any documentation she has concerning the change or apply for a new visa on her new passport.
