Passport validity for H1b stamp in Mexico

[gbc6417]

I have a passport valid till May 2019 and an approved H1b extension till July 2019. My question is, can I go for H1b stamp before renewing my passport or do I have to renew my passport first?

Since you have time, better to renew your passport.

Renew your passport before attending your visa interview.

2 Scenarios :

1) if you plan to attend visa interview before your passport expires. This is what happens - You will get your visa stamped until your I-797 validity.

but while coming back, you get I-94 until only your passport validity. After passport renewal - you might need to go to any POE locations again for I-94 renewal.

2) To avoid hassle & another trip for I-94 renewal, better to apply for passport renewal & attend for visa interview. so you get your stamping in your passport & I-94 until your I-797 validity.
