My passport will expire at the beginning of 12/04, now only 4.5 months valid period of it. Although my I-485 case has not approved yet, I wonder whether it is wise to renew passport now or later since I just did my 2nd FP recently. A bunch of questions here:
(1) Whether you have to stamp passport before you can receive the plastic green card? i.e. whether passport stamp is a necessary step. I do not hope to delay any more.
(2) How much valid time for the passport is required for passport stamping? In my case, now I only have 4.5 months left.
(3) Since the passport renewal needs about 1-2 months to finish since I have to use mailing service, if during this period, I-485 get approved, what can I do? Wait till the passport renewed, mailed back and get stamped? Then how will I say to the HR in my company? Still use my EAD to work?
Your answers are welcomed! Thanks a lot!
