JoeF and others - Passport expiring in a month, applied for extension

[Mukul Jain]

while the B1/B2 visa is valid for another 9 yrs. The extension is applied for in India, and it has been noted on the passport itself. Is it okay for my brother to travel to US for about 20 days for a conference, the return ticket will indicate that he is returning before the passport expires. Is there any substantial risk associated with the same ? I remember the six month validity is required for getting a visa or it holds for travel too ?
Thanks for you help.

passport must be valid for longer than a month

Normally, INS will not admit someone when the passport is about to expire. the passport must be valid for some time (I think about 6 months?) longer than the admission period for a visitor.
