ManUtd Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hi experts, I have a stamping appointment scheduled next month and have a question about passport validity Current passoprt expiry : Aug 2015 I797A expiry: Jun 2015 While I was reading instruction online I came across a rule that says "passport valid for atleast 6 months beyond the validity period of form I797A" particularly in my case I have passoport valid only two months beyond I797A validity... is this something to worry about. Thank you for your response, Manutd Link to comment

rangadu Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I guess you are reading the rules wrong. The 6 month rule may be from the date of stamping, not from the end date on 797. People get Visas stamped beyond their Passport expiry date all the time. It is pretty common. Link to comment
kchokkal Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I recently got stamped until Nov 2015, but my passport valid until Aug 2015. So no problem at all. Link to comment
vamsi_gemini Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 It doesnt matter as they will give your stamping end date based on I-797 approval only unlike the passport expiry, only thing you need to do is get the new passport and carry both passports if in case you are travelling outside USA.
