Hello!

 

My mom is visiting me end of FEB 2014 and she will stay until AUG 1st week. Her Indian passport expires OCT 2014. Will that be an issue in her entry and travel in the US?

 

What are the rules as far as passport validity is concerned?

 

Should be apply for new passport while in Mumbai and hope to get it before her travel dates? Or come to US and apply for renewal ?

 

Thanks for your help!

Based on what you mentioned it should not be a problem in using her current passport.

Your mother is fine with passport validity dates. If I were you I would not apply for passport renewal in India before travelling or while she is here in USA.

In my opinion, she should apply for passport renewal once she goes back to India in August 2014.
