My mother's Indian passport is valid 20 years from issue.
She has been lucky not to get in trouble because of it, but the Indian Embassy in Washington has recorded at least 11 cases (most notably the high profile case of Rayan Babu Yellina who spent 28 days in an El Paso detention center) of Indian citizens being detained by US DHS officials simply because passports of 20 year validity are considered "suspicious".
