Passport expiring before the intended stay period for H1B (Need Urgent help)

[chinkss]

Hi All,

 

I've my interview after 2 days in Mumbai, and I just realized that my passport expires in Sept 2014. In my DS 160 I've filled the 'Intended Stay' period as approx 19 months which is till Nov 2015. There is a requirement that your passport should be valid (Not Expired) till at least 6 month BEYOND the intended stay period. My Finger printing is after 2 days and interview after 3 days. Any suggestions as to how do i get out of this situation? If I renew my passport in Mumbai it will take forever, can I just mention this to the interviewer and tel him that I intend to renew it as soon as I reach USA ? what is the worst case scenario here ? Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance.

You are fine. Go ahead with your Current Passport.

 

You only need 6 months of Passport validity for the stamping.

Don't worry you are good to go with your current passport. I was in the same situation and got my visa approved couple of weeks back.
