SAINT-DAVID-DE-FALARDEAU · GOLD CARD FIELD GUIDE

Should a Saint-David-de-Falardeau applicant keep the old passport information after receiving the replacement?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Preserve the relevant identity and case record and follow actual instructions for updates.

Connect the documents without inventing a procedure

Identify what was previously submitted and what has changed. Use the genuine case channel and instructions rather than assume that editing a private worksheet automatically updates the government file.

Keep legible copies of the expired and replacement passports, the renewal explanation, prior submission receipts, and the exact identity data entered online. Record what changed and when, then use only the update method in the current official instructions; a private worksheet does not amend a government record. The programme begins with an online application and a nonrefundable US$15,000 DHS processing payment. USCIS subsequently issues the instruction to file I-140G, the programme’s immigrant petition, which proceeds through EB-1 or EB-2 classification. Following vetting, officials request the applicant’s US$1 million gift payable to the United States; it must never be described as an EB-5 investment. Verify the government directions again before funds move.

Hypothetical example: An orthopedic surgeon living around Saint-David-de-Falardeau receives a replacement passport whose name formatting differs slightly from the old booklet. He should retain both biographical pages and the issuing record, compare them with his online answers, and explain the formatting change through the prescribed channel. Discarding the earlier details could break the link to prior visas and travel rather than simplify his I-140G record.
