what happen After got Visa

[hong tran 0]

My fiancee' got her visa today, on the visa there are two expiration dates, one is the visa expiration date on May 15-2011, the other is the petition expiration date on April 18-2011. She plans to come to U.S in April 15 -2011, and we will get marry asap. I know that her visa is only valid for 6 months, so after she got to U.S with one month left before the visa is expired. My concern is her visa only have one month left before we going to get the adjustment of marriage status to apply for 2 years green card. I know the process to get the green card and interview would took up to 1 month, so if within this period of time my fiancee still not yet received her green card and the Visa is expired, What happend to her? What should I do? and what is petition expiration date ? please advices. Thank you so much

I think you might be a bit confused. She must travel to the US on the K-1 by the expiration date on the visa.

Once she uses the K-1, it is invalidated - meaning the expiration date on the visa is irrelevant since it is a one time use visa. She will be issued an I-94 with a 90 day duration (an expiration date should be given on it). you must marry by the expiration date on the I-94.

Her visa is useless and 'expired' the second she sets foot in the US. You will go by the I-94 date after she is in the US

Good luck
