VisaOfficer:
I think that the solution you propose is perfect. From our point of view, it won't delay or affect your processing. You may be told when you come to your interview that you'll need a new passport (if you haven't already obtained one); if so, firmly but politely state that you're aware of that but that you would like to proceed with your interview. Feel free to print out this post and show it to the staff member. It shouldn't be an issue, but, just in case.

Thank you. Would get on it now.

Hi VO,

I have a priority date of Aug 22 2013 (f2a category) which is about to be current in May. I am the beneficiary while my husband is the petitioner. Trying to get my docs together to send to nvc but our lawyer insists my passport must have at least a year's validity on it so as not to delay processing because we would still need to file an i601 waiver. I currently have 8 months validity left on the passport and the Nigeria Immigration Service won't renew any passport with more than 6 months validity. Can I still send a copy of my passport data page as is to nvc, and get another when or before my interview is scheduled? Would that delay or affect any process?
