Usually you need at least 6 months left on your Passport receive the visa for the US, so if you are just starting your papers I would wait and get a new one since you will be very close on the amount of time. I am not sure about the name but what name are you using on everything else? Seems like your maiden name-- so I would think a passport in that name that is being used everywhere would be easier in the long run.

You are also not going to want an expired passport soon after entering the states as you will have to renew here which can be difficult (depending on your home country)

I would do it now if i hadn't applied at this point. If you have submitted already, others may have ideas.... gl

We are in same situations. Thanks to this very informative and kind respond. I will renew my passport as soon as I get my NSO birth certificate. Happy valentine's day to all.
