Here is my question : My green card expired and a new one is in the process( So I do not have a valid green card at this moment but I have a letter from the INS saying that it is in the process) and at the mean time my passport is expired too. Will I be able to renew my passport by just showing the letter from the INS or do I have to wait until I get the official green card? You know to renewed a green card can take somewhere 6 months to a year. ( At least that is what they told me) Please help me out here. Harris daju or anyone who can help me . Help is needed !!!!!!!!
