My Passport expires in another 6 months and have F1 VISA scheduled next week

Hi,

I am about to receive my I-20 by mail by end of this week as confirmed by university (UNF) and planning to have F1 interview scheduled by next week. Currently my passport would be expiring by December 2017.

Could you please suggest me, what is best to do, like… Do I need to apply for re-issue of Passport before going for VISA interview or can I update it later after moving to US?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
