Hi All,
I have my interview after 2 days in Mumbai, and I just realized that my passport expires in Sept 2014. In my DS 160 I have 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 months 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 tell 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.
