Visa stamping trip

[Rlikhi]

Hi, my son has an Indian passport and we live in Unites States. We have to travel now to India for work visa stamping but my son’s passport expires in 3 months. Will I be allowed to board the flight to India and then back to United States ? Can someone please advise? Thanks in advance.

Yes, but when he returns to the US, his I-94 will be limited to the expiration date of his passport, if he is using his current passport to re-enter.

If he gets a new passport, he can use the new passport in combination with the visa in his old passport, without needing to get a new visa in his new passport. That way, his I-94 will not be limited by the old passport's expiration.

Processing usually takes 15 business days from receipt by the Embassy of a complete application and may take longer during peak times and in exceptional circumstances.
