US Visa/Greencard renewal with UK passport renewal? [closed]
I am in the US with a green card, the visa for which is in my UK passport that expires at the end of April, while my green card itself expires in May.
I have the CR1 visa in my soon-to-be-old UK passport - do I need to get this updated or changed anywhere to go in my new passport, or will I need to carry both passports when I travel?
Also, will the passport renewal affect my green card renewal at all? When my green card expires, I will have been married for more than 2 years so be able to get the change from CR1 to IR1. I noticed this is the form i-751, which apparently costs $595 to file - I don't have this money right now; what happens if I renew without filing I-751? Can I do it later to switch to IR1 or does it have to be on renewing the card? I need to know if getting this money together is a priority so I can put it aside from my tax return if necessary.
