Hello VisaJourney friends

We sent out our I-130 petition in June and the NOA1 is July 1st and we did not receive NOA2 yet. My passport (beneficiary) had 10 validity (until May 20175) that time but i changed my passport in November since i wanted to travel to Turkey in December for meeting my husband there and my passport should have been valid for more than 6 months to travel.

What should i do now? should we call USCIS and tell them, or should we wait for RFE (I don't know if they care my old passport is valid for less 6 months now), or should we just wait to be approved and then send the copy of my both passports to NVC with an explanation letter?

I did not change it before because i cant change my passport when it is valid for more than 6 months.

I know people who changed their passport between NVC case completed and interview and they just gave the new passport to embassy.

Thanks
