From COVA to passport submission
- Confirm the office from current U.S. residence before starting COVA.
- Complete the online form and uploads for preliminary review by that office.
- When the status shows “Passport to be submitted,” prepare the passport, barcode information page and required originals.
- The applicant or an agent submits under the office's current instructions; an interview or more evidence may still be requested.
Common jurisdiction mistakes
- Choosing by birthplace, passport issuance or China destination instead of U.S. residence.
- Following an old Houston district, obsolete appointment system or expired office notice.
- Selecting an office in COVA that conflicts with the residence evidence.
