Best Answer

Accourding to German rules, in general, you must give up your former citizenship before receiving German citizenship.

If you have given up your original citizenship, you may not claim to be of that citizenship. Any such claim would be considered fraud.

You must apply for an US ESTA entry as a German citizen. Upon application watch out if you are being asked about a former citizenship and possible former visas. Supply that information if asked or mayby, if supported, as a comment or remark.

Being upfront during your first application may spare you problems later.

Can you stay in US during change of status?

The application process for a Change of Status (COS) will allow you to remain in the US while the decision is pending, provided the application is filed in a timely manner with US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Can I travel with change of status?

Once USCIS approves your change of status petition, you may travel internationally. Your H-1B status will take effect on the date that was requested. While travel, as outlined above, is permissible, you may encounter difficulties when re-entering the U.S. or when applying for a visa for your current status.

What happens to visa when passport is renewed?

In case of passport reissue, the new passport will be released while the old passport will be cancelled and returned. However, any of the active visas on the old passport will still be valid and can be used till expiry of the particular visa.

Can US visa be transferred to new passport?

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. The old passport is no longer a valid travel document, but should be enough to confirm your identity, what visa you previously had, and enable a new visa with an appropriate end date to be put in your new passport.
