H1B Stamping - Passport expiring

[agarwama]

Hello,

I am planning to take my fresh H1b stamping date sometime in Oct-Nov this year. But my passport is expiring on 5/5/2015. My questions are-

1. Is there any minimum time period my passport should be valid for while going for Visa Stamping?
2. Is there any minimum time period my passport should be valid for before traveling to US?
3. Shall I first go for stamping or for Passport renew? (Remember my petition has old passport number in it)

Many Thanks for your reply.
