You should get your passport renewed. Islamabad embassy may place you in Administrative Processing and your passport will expire.

you should go and get your new passport ASAP. I had this same problem. If your case is still in USCIS, you can send new passport copy to them, if its in NVC then send new copy to NVC and If its already completed and you are waiting for your interview, just take it to interview as you wont get visa as your passport will expire in less than six months.

27/02/2012: Sent I-130 to Chicago Lockbox
03/01/2012: NOA1

Hi You should get a new passport . No you don't have to worry about having 2 passports. Because millions of people have more than one passports. As long as you can tell them that you renewed your passport ahead of time because it was less than six months left then your all Good. :-)
And another thing is that you can't renew your passport if it has more than 6 months left so wait a bit and then renew it.
The new passport will have your old passport number printed on it as well.

A passport should be valid for 6 months from interview date (as your visa will be valid for that long, usually) so yes, apply for a new one.
