K-1 Visa Activation

[EnZ 0]

Hey Guys -

My fiance and I were wondering when the K-1 Visa actually activates (when does the 90 day clock start running)? Is it when she gets the VISA from the consulate or is it when she enters a POE in the US??

Once you get the visa from the consulate, you have up to 6 months to use it to enter the states.

The 90 days begins once you enter the states through POE.

K-1 is valid for 6 months after issuance by the consulate, and once a person enters th USA it is voided, and the 90 day clock begins.
