Renewing Passport

I was just curious, if we have filed for the K-1 Petition last week, but my fiancee's passport is expiring soon, can she still renew it? It expires in February 2009.

The problem I foresee is that the passport number WILL change as the machine-readable passport will be changed into a biometric passport.

Or can the old passport though invalid, be used as proof that the passport number at the time of filing is indeed the same?

Your passport is supposed to be valid within 6 months of being granted your visa. I would get a new one if I was you. Lets say that the visa was valid to get your finance into the US. They'd then be looking to renew the passport soon after arrival. Would probably take more time and money than doing it in their own country prior to arriving in the US. Look on the website for the country of origin passport and see how long before it expires that you can renew it.

Most likely she will have both the old and the new... have both available at interview.

YMMV
