Thank you !!First of all, Congratulations
I don't think you need to renew your passport, if its valid for more 6 months. Moreover you can visit this thread for more insight about Abu Dhabi Visa Office:

it clearly mentioned twice that the passport should be valid for 12 months min. I don't want to send my passport, wait for 2 weeks and then get a reply that I need to renew it.
has anyone else been in this kind of situation? Thank you for your help
