Wife has her visa - Expires Nov 30, 2007!

[Dogwood_Poet 16]

Kathlene finally received her visa yesterday after having to submit an RFE after her interview. Her first interview in June had to be rescheduled while she went through a series of TB test, no TB just a shadow on the x-ray from a childhood illness.

So, they put a note in the packet that her visa expires Nov 30 because of her medical. Which shouldn't be any trouble because I plan to have her here sometime next month. But is this normal, if someone went six months past their medical waiting for approval, do they have to take the medical again, or is this because she had to take the TB tests and they just want to be sure she is free of disease?

There will be an expiration date stamped on the visa. That's how much time she has to enter the US. Perhaps the note explains why that date corresponds to 6 months after the medical??? Or, is it different.

Yes the visa is stamped Nov 30 and Kathlene said it was because of her medical, she is going to bring the letter the next time we chat and maybe I can learn more.

But everything is done and she will have her ticket in just a couple of weeks once I get everything arranged for me to be off work and all the travel arrangements complete, so we shouldn't have anything to worry about as to the expiration date.

If you can't use the visa before it expires return to the embassy, they will issue a new one.
