My Indian passport is expiring on July 20 2020.
I scheduled a H1B appointment and stamping on Jan 13 2020.
Initially, I was thinking of travelling to India, completing the H1B interview, returning to the US and then getting my passport renewed. I'm worried that I may have difficulty entering into the US with an Indian passport that is about to expire. Does anyone have experience with this? Additionally will there be any problems with the h1b stamping because my passport is going to expire?
Should I get the passport renewed in the US before leaving to India in January? I am also worried about timelines. I've heard that CKGS takes extra time during the holiday season to process renewals. If CKGS delays my passport renewal, I would be stranded without a passport and will have no way to go to India.
What do you folks advise?
