Dependent's passport validity period

Hi,

I hold a valid approval letter and have applied for stamping in April first week.

My wife's passport expires in Nov 2009. i.e. Its valid for less than 2 years. What will be the implications of this?

Can someone please guide me on this?

Thanks in advance.
