Not sure where to ask, but here has always been helpful. I (wife/petitioner) am the US citizen...my hubby of 10 years is the applicant. We started this process nearly 2 years ago. Recently NVC had determined that we were "document qualified" but of course the consulate in Australia is not open for immigrant processing at this time. When we started hubby had nearly 2 years left on his passport, but now it will expire in March 2021 per the NVC information he should have atleast 8 months on the Passport. So he has obtained a new one ( he also needed a new one for his job in Australia)  My question is who within the VISA process do we update? I really haven't been able to obtain any information on this. I really appreciate any advice available.

You don't need to update anybody, simply bring the updated passport to the interview.  People renew passports all the time during the process, it's a non-issue.
