Passport renewal question

I am planning to send my Passport for renewal to the Houston Office. One question I had is whether I need to "detach" my current I-94 card from the old passport and send the old passport or should I leave it on when I send it for renewal.
Also I assume its safe to send these by Fedex for renewal or would in person be recommended ?
 
Though the people at embassy should return your old passport and everything in it, it is safe to keep the current I-94 in your possession at safe place. My I 94 is not 'attached' to the passport, it is just placed inside.

Peple at embassy don't need your I94 to process the renewal.

If you do decide to leave it there, I would suggest to make a copy of both sides of it.

Hope it helps.

passoirt renewal

Hi,

I think the passort could be renewed ( considrered renewed instead of new passoort ) within a year after it expires. Howvere you can can not travel on the expired passport.

You should get the passport renewed within a month.

I could get my spouse and kids passport renewed within a week (no extra charges, you need to handle the situation with kids gloves). My wife does not belive that I did it but.......

I used fedex account to create the return envelope that is safe to use. You can use the site http://fedex.com/us to create the account ( and get discounted rates etc, but I like the safety most) you can create the return label and mailed whole package to them safely.

Thanks
