We are leaving for Israel tomorrow morning (Monday 5/22). Just realized my wife's passport expires on Monday 5/29. Our return flight is on Wednesday 5/31. Will US customs really give us a hard time getting back into the country? What are our options?
She is a dual citizen and has another valid passport from another country. Not sure if that helps.
I think you might have a challenge leaving as well, the US requires that you leave with your US passport while the airlines will likely not allow to board with a passport expiring during your trip.
As for returning, the COVID era expired passport rule has not been renewed, which means as a US citizen you must enter the USA with a valid US passport.
Depending in the other passport she's holding it might be a huge challenge to enter without trouble.
I'm no expert, but I beg you to make the proper research before heading to the airport.
ETA: (not for now...)
