Good Afternoon,

I know that the requirement is to have a valid passport for at least 6 months to travel when we go for the interview. His passport at this point is good for a year. Considering how long this process takes his passport will not be valid for travel by the time he fills out the DS-160. Does he have to wait for it to expire to renew it or can he do that now?

As far as I know you can renew it now. You may be required to take BOTH to the embassy, but that isn't really an issue.

What are the rules for passport renewal in his country. I would renew it now, if possible, as he will still need a valid passport to travel in the future and renewing in the US maybe an issue verses renemwing in the DR.

I have recently renewed my passport as mine will expire this Oct. Japan embassy is far away from where I will be living in the states so I figured it's better to do it after NOA2. Then, you will not have to renew it during AOS application too.
