I just noticed my passport expires in 7 months. I have appointment for stamping next week and travel to india next month.

a. Will the temp GC be stamped for 7 months only ?

b. Can i travel to india and back with the passport expiring less than 6 months or will there be any problem at india while returning?

Thanks guys
 
you can renew your passport at a Indian consulate.

Yes, you will get your passport stamped until the passport expiry date.

You cant enter US if your passport is valid less than 6 months

Depends on the officer/officer. However, you can request him/her to provide the stamp on a I-94 like paper which will be valid for 1 year. But nowadays people are getting their plastic card within 1.5-3 months after stamping.

Yes, you can travel as long as your passport is valid.

However, in consulate it takes about two weeks to renew passport. If you have time, you can renew your passport, get stamped and then travel. But I don't see any problem if you cannot.
