Renewing passport in India and coming back to the USA with new renewed passport?
I am an Indian citizen living in the USA with a Green Card. I plan to visit India and renew my passport, and then come back to the USA with my new passport on the same round-trip ticket from the USA. Is it OK to travel out of the USA on my old passport and come back to the USA on a new passport (renewed) with the same airline (I mean same ticket)? Would the airline cause me any issue on my return back to the USA?
Best Answer
No they won't. Just keep your cancelled passport with you too in case they ask for it.
