on your application u need to fill it out with your present status or whatever changes happened to you and your present status right now, and i suggest not to passed the original documents you have its hard if they misplaced it, about the passport, i pass the green one which expires on 2012, but on your case you'll hav to get the new one since its been a long process before they request your passport, its ok to have changes info in your passport as long as it is genuine,hope it helped u..goodluck,
