(b) Except as provided in § 42.2, every applicant for an immigrant visa shall present a passport, as defined in INA 101(a)(30), that is valid for at least 60 days beyond the period of validity of the visa.

Such an applicant may be issued a visa valid for 6 months or for such shorter period as will assure its expiration in unison with the passport.
