PASSPORT expiring soon and need to attend the VISA(H1B and H4) visa interview

USA L1, L2 Visa
1

Hello,

Greetings!

We are planning to go to H1B and H4 Visa stamping in 01-JUNE-2016 at India. Our Child(8 year old) passport is expiring in 01-MAR 2017.

My 797 extension is approved till APR-2018.

So When we are going for Visa stamping, our child passport will have 9 months validity.

Do we need to get a new passport for our child?

Please help us.

Thanks,

Nandhini
