Renew US visa with RTD (without PR)

[Wolf Terry]

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of renewing my U.S. B1/B2 visa. I received my Refugee Travel Document a month ago (PR is the process), but my old passport with the U.S. visa is still at the Canadian immigration office. What can I do in this situation?

Do you think that they will give me the visa without the old passport ?

Hard to say if it will be considered a renewal given your significant change in circumstances.

They already have all your information regarding your old passport, old visa and the fact that you are a refugee- it is normal that you don't have your old passport. That is the immigration process for refugees in Canada and they know that.

You'll need to apply for the visa again and it is up to the US embassy if they will give you an 'extension' of your old visa on your national passport or not, it really is a case by case basis and your individual circumstances, you will find examples here of all the possibilities.
