Kristy,
I think it is true - the passport must be valid for at least as long as the visa is valid.
If you are correct that in your husband's country passports are issued for only 6 months at a time, the US consulate there will almost certainly recognize the fact and might provide a visa that is valid for only as long as the passort.
Are you sure about this 6 months at a time thing? And that he can't be issued a passport that is valid for longer than 6 months?

Is it true that at the interview appointment, the non us citizen must show their passport that it is valid for 6 months after the visa is issued? How is that possible...my husbands passport is only issued for 6 months at a time ? Please help me
