根因分析

美国签证（B-1/B-2、F-1、H-1B 等）即使贴在已过期的护照上，只要旅行者同时携带旧护照（含签证）和新有效护照，签证仍然有效直至到期日

English

US visas (B-1/B-2, F-1, H-1B, etc.) remain valid until their expiration date even if the passport they are affixed to is expired, provided the traveler carries both the old passport with the visa and a new valid passport

解决方案

  1. Carry both the expired passport containing the valid US visa and your new valid passport when traveling to the US. At the port of entry, present both passports to the CBP officer.
  2. If the visa is in good condition (not damaged), you may also request a visa transfer to the new passport by scheduling an appointment at a US embassy or consulate (fee applies, but optional).
  3. Check the visa expiration date and entry/exit conditions on the CBP website (https://www.cbp.gov/travel). Ensure the visa type (e.g., B-2) allows the intended activity.

无效尝试

常见但无效的做法:

  1. Apply for a new US visa because the passport expired 95% 失败

    US visas are independent of passport validity; renewing the visa is unnecessary and wastes time/money

  2. Cancel the trip and rebook after getting a new visa 90% 失败

    The original visa is still valid; cancellation is an overreaction

  3. Travel with only the new passport, leaving the old one at home 85% 失败

    Customs officers need to see the visa in the old passport to admit entry
