USA H1B Visa

Hi

I got my Visa stamped till Aug2018 , however my passport validity is till Aug2016. My employer is asking to travel as soon as possible hence I’m planning to travel to US in Feb. Can i go for passport renewal in US or is it better to get the passport renewed in india itself and then travel. Will there be any issues at POE as the current passport validity is 6 more months only. Please suggest.

You will receive I-94 based on your passport expiration date. You will have to renew your passport soon after landing in US, and later apply for I-94 extension. I don’t think they will stop you at PoE based on your passport expiration date.
