So let's get this straight. You had your passport specially made just to be, um..., difficult? I have sent passports off to places for the newest technology (machine readable to London, back in the day, for my NZ passport, and RFID to Sydney for my Aussie passport), so that I always have the newest technology. I'm not suggesting that. But taking extra steps to have an outdated passport? Just unnecessary. Not that you'll have any problems since you're and LPR and have a PRC anyway, but still .
