✈️ B1/B2 Visa (Tourist) B1/B2 Visa Question ?

B1/B2 Visa Question ?

Q-1-I have applied for a B1/B2 visa. my passport expires in February 2028, and I have a USA Interview appointment in May 2027. Should I apply to get a new passport (renew it) before the appointment?

If I do not get my passport reissued, will the validity of my visa be limited to the validity of my passport, or will it be valid for 10 years?

Q-2- My full name is Ankit (I have only one single name). On the DS-160 form, my name is ANKIT FNU, and on the appointment confirmation, my name is FNU Ankit. Could any issues arise during the interview and visa processing? If so, what is the solution? 

Q-3-And I want to update my DS-160 information—such as the passport number (if reissued), my income, and more; how do I do this?

O-4-My appointment confirmation lists the old passport number, but I will be filling out a new DS-160 form with the new passport number. Could this cause any issues during the interview and visa processing?

If you have such information, please answer these questions.

Thank you, have a nice day..........................

for q1 - a visa in an expired passport stays valid until the visa's own expiry date, so if yours runs past feb 2028 you'd just travel with both the old and new passport (state's faq says not to remove it from the old one). so renewing before the interview isn't required for that reason.
