Do I need to renew my passport?

[P and her J 0]

I have an interview appointment for K1 visa at US embassy in Bangkok on 23rd this month. My passport will be expire on November,5th. so its fine for that 6 months rule. But what about after I enter the US? it will be expired while I wait for the other process to be done. What should I do? Should I renew my passport and bring both old and new passports to the interview? Im very confused

Just go to your Embassy (Nationality) and Apply for renewal of your passport

You will be fine for the interview as long as you have 6 months. If you can get your passport renewed before the interview then do so, it easier to renew the passport there then once in the USA as there are not embassies everywhere here.

Best to get a new passport before you depart Thailand. I am sure you know you dont have to go to an embassy to do this. The new passport will take the place of the old one. You could do this in the USA but its much easier to do there. You have almost waited too long to do this so do it right away to allow time for the new one to get to you. Mine took 10 days.
