I am a US citizen and my husband is lives in Northern Ireland his interview is on sep. 6 2016. It is at us embassy in London. I have read his passport needs to be valid eight months from visa issue date, is that true? If so his passport is going to expire April 24 2017 so in that case he needs to renew his current passport that the petition has been based on. Do I need to contact someone with the new passport info before his interview?

Thanks for any help possible!!!

Straight off the Lomdon website--

The passport must be valid for travel to the United States and must have at least eight months validity from the date on which the visa is issued. Children may be included on a parents passport, but if over the age of 16, their photographs must be printed in the passport.

You don't need to inform anybody. Quite a few have gotten new passports prior to their London interview. The embassy doesn't seem to care one tiny bit if you show up with a new passport. Some have said they went in trying to explain away their passport and the person just looked at them like "So? Why are you telling me this?"

We were in the same situation for our son: his passport had an expiry date too close.

We asked for a new passport in France and just brought it and a copy of the old one to the interview at the US embassy in Paris. It went smoothly, they didn't even look at the copy and just took the new passport.

It didn't slow down the process as we got his visa by mail (IR2) 4 days afer the interview.
