US Passport expire on July 2013

[TJ01212011 47]

Hello everyone!

My fiance(USC)'s passport will expire on July 2013, do we need to renew it before we submit our application since USCIS required at least 5years validity of the US passport?

Thanks in advance,

Jan

You don't tell us when the passport was issued.

This post is becoming very frequent on VJ. The passport only needs to have an ISSUE DATE of 5 or more years. It does not have to be a valid brand new passport.

Yes you can its got an issue date of more than 5 years.

The only time you have to be clear of the expiration date is when you need to renew it or when you are traveling internationally they sometimes require a certain amount of validity left on the passport to travel with it.

Issued with a validity of more than five years refers to the total time the passport will be valid from issue to expiration, not how much of that time is left. In short, they want the US Citizen's passport to have been issued to an adult instead of a child. US Passports issued to children have only a 5 year validity from issue to expiration.

IMO, they need to reword that section of the rule to ISSUE for at least 5yrs. kinda misleading/misunderstood
