STATE DEPARTMENT RELEASES LIST OF COUNTRIES WITH AUTOMATIC PASSPORT EXTENSION AGREEMENTS

The State Department has released a list of countries that have agreements with the US to honor recently expired passports. A number of countries have agreed to honor their passports as remaining valid for six months beyond the expiration date specified in the passport. The agreements are important because US law requires nonimmigrant visa applicants to have passports that will remain valid for at least six months beyond the date the expected visit to the US is expected to end. Otherwise, a shorter stay in the US will be granted. These agreements mean that visas can often be granted for six months longer.
