Passport expiration requirement for NIW applications

[madslt]

With an approved NIW application, I am submitting DS-260 form and preparing my civil documents for an immigrant visa to the USA. As one of civil documents, my passport expires in more than seven months. Would it be acceptable if I use my current passport as the civil document considering that:

- I intend to enter the USA in September 2023 or later
- I can certainly renew my passport before the visa interview
