passport validity

[brroan 0]

I am a Syrian citizen who is applying for a k1 visa on the 1st of may. My passport will expire on November 5th and the US embassy in the UK needs 6 months of expiry date on the passport beyond the intended date of travel. The nearest Syrian embassy in France so I have to apply for a visa to France if I want to renew my passport.

Can they issue the visa on my passport and I can renew it in the US ?

thanks

As far as I am aware it's all embassies, they require at least 6 months or more validity of the passport to be issued the visa. A lot of people renew their passports during the USCIS stage to avoid this, plus then they don't have to worry about passport renewals again for least a few years.

Even if you manage to squeeze into the United States (as a citizen of a country exempt from the six-month passport validity rule) on a short-dated passport, your I94 will be valid for 90 days or the date of your passport expiration, whichever comes first.

 

In other words, even if you somehow manage to get the visa in the passport, you would have to file for AOS or leave the country before November 5^th. Renewing the passport in the US will not add any extra time to your I94.
