I was born in the U.S. and am a dual citizen. My U.S. passport expired a long time ago. Can I use my Salvadoran passport to travel to the U.S.? Is there a risk of traveling to the U.S. using my Salvadoran passport only?
By law, U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and exit the United States. U.S. citizens are not eligible for a U.S. visa. U.S./El Salvador dual citizens are advised to carry both valid passports (U.S. and El Salvador) when traveling to/from the United States. The dual citizen will be required to present their U.S. passport at U.S. immigration and might be requested to present their Salvadoran passport when going through Salvadoran immigration.
