ORIGINAL POSTER

My Non-immigrant-O extension will expire on 21 January 2019. My USA passport will expire 11 months later: on 7 December 2019. The secretary at my NGO, who claims to know about such things, said this will be a problem, and that I need to get a new passport before my visa extension. Any truth to this? Thank you, in advance.
