Will i be denied to board for lack of 6 months passport validity ?
Hi,

I have about 4 months of validity left on my passport. I have been traveling so much that I never got time to renew the passport.

Now I have been attended to USA for attending an event and even my tickets have been booked on Lufthansa from Chennai, India to Orlando via Frankfurt.

I have a valid US Visa till 2018 and been to the US 2 times in the past for meetings.

I heard that some airlines might refuse boarding if the passport is not valid for a minimum of 6 months.

But i did some research and found out that my country India is exempted from the six month rule to enter USA

Can i go to USA next month ?
