Hi

I m trying to figure out how the K-1 Expiration date determined. Is it from the interview date, the medical date or the issue date of the visa? it will be good for 6 months or till the person sets foot in the US correct? Once they are in the US you have 90 days to get married correct?

6 months from the date of visa issuance not from your medical. And yes, you have 90 days to get married and file AOS after you get married. I filed AOS 3 months after our wedding. AOS approved with no problems.

I am sure it is 6 months from medical exam. I just look over my wife visa and it is 6 months from medical exam.

She did medical exam on 12/18/2013 and her visa expiration date is 6/17/2014.

They issued her visa on 02/27/2014. I can clear the info on her visa and then I will post here so you can see it.

Visa validity is tied to the medical and generally, it is 6 months from date of medical. But validity may still be limited due to medical restrictions or other reasons. Not sure with other countries, but this is how the US embassy in Manila (and most embassies) sets validity of K1 and immigrant visas.

And as said above, 90 days to marry from date of POE.

Actually it depends on specific country. Some countries like the Philippines, K-1 visa expiration date 6 months from medical exam, not from date of issuance. Unlike the Philippines, the US embassy in Jakarta Indonesia has different rules. My visa expiration is 6 months from date of issuance. I had medical on December 31 2013, my visa was issued on January 23 2014, and the expiration date is July 21 2014.

Valid for 6 months from the date of the medical, must be in the USA before expiration. After POE the I-94 is the form authorizing your valid status in the USA, which is good for 90 days from POE.... the time frame for getting married.
