You have to get the passport of your home country. You cannot get a U.S. passport as a resident.
You need to contact your home country's embassy or consulate and obtain a passport from them that way.

where was your last passport issued at ? which country ?
wherever you received your last passpor ? is where you will need to apply for a new passport , from your country of origin .....
the reason it asked if you are a US citizen , it because you went on a site that deals with visas and passports of US citizens only.
would you like to come back and say , which country are you from ?

You cannot get a U.S. Passport unless you are a U.S. citizen. If you are a resident alien, one of the stipulations of your staying here is that you keep your passport current. You need to renew the passport from the country of which you are a citizen. Then recheck the entry requirements for a citizen of YOUR country, not the U.S.

i don't know why all and numerous in this board is so speedy to assert that the answer is bound. conserving a united states passport is seen conclusive information that you're a citizen of united states. in spite of the undeniable fact that, the dep. of State keeps the right to revocate a passport in the journey that they discover out that you've been no longer entitled to the passport in the first position. that's plausible that the low-aspect clerk made a mistake and misapplied the regulation. Or that your dad and mom obtained their LPR status by fraud. In those situations, you'll not be a united states citizen. until eventually you ever obtain a really specific letter from the dep. of State which revokes your passport, you may relax guaranteed that you're a citizen of united states.

You can only get a US passport if you are an American citizen. As you said, you are not yet a citizen so you must obtain a passport through the country in which issued your prior one.
Good luck and I hope you're able to enjoy your trip!

You can get a new passport from whichever country issued your last one. You will not be able to get a US passport until the naturalization process is complete. Plan to submit your old passport with your application for the new one. Check with the appropriate embassy or consulate for details.

Yes, you have to be a US citizen.
If you are here on a visa, you are required to have a valid passport from your country of citizenship. Looks like your visa just expired.
