This question kind of comes up a lot but I didn't find the answer I need so...

The instructions for the IV application (in Brazil) require:

A passport must be valid for travel to the United States and must have at least 8 (eight) months’ validity beyond the issuance date of the immigrant visa.

A copy of the passport page that contains the biographic information, passport number and photo must be sent to the consulate along with forms DS 2001 and DS 230 parts I and II and frontal picture.

So he has to send a copy of his passport to the Consulate before they give him an interview date. The problem is my husband's passport expires in October 2012 which is already less than the required 8 months. Can he use his soon to expire passport to set the interview date and then renew, hoping it will be ready in time for the interview?? Or does he have to have a (new) passport with the necessary 8 months before he sends his DS 230 to the Consulate??

(And does anyone know how long it could take to get a new passport in Brazil?)

...I really wish we had noticed this sooner :(

Thanks -
