Booking us travel with passport nearing expiry.

Hoping to get some clarity around this - My mom is an Indian citizen and has a valid U.S. B1/B2 visa until 2030. Her current Indian passport expires on first week of April in 2027. We’re planning for her to visit the U.S. around the first week of November 2026 for about 3–4 months.

CBP’s current guidance says the general rule is that a passport must be valid for six months beyond the traveler’s intended stay, unless the traveler’s country has an agreement with the U.S. that waives that six-month requirement. For countries covered by such an agreement which includes India , the passport only needs to be valid for the entire intended period of the stay.

Would booking her return around Feb -mar be alright ? Let me know if I’m overseeing anything.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation. Thank you!
