You have the 6 months to enter the USA. The visa you/fiance was given is for a one way entry into USA and that is given the 6 months before expired. Once you enter the US, you have 90 days to get married. After you get married you have another 90 days to file for you AOS (green card) which comes with more waiting! Congrats!

The visa expires when the date written on it says it expires--typically it is 6 months, but not always so that is why the OP and everybody should look at the visa when it is issued to see when it expires so they know when they have to enter the US by. Also, there is no time limit to file for AOS. Once the I-94 expires the beneficiary is out-of-status which is forgiven because they are married to a USC. The only issue about not filing for AOS is that the beneficiary cannot work or re-enter the US should they leave. This has been debated to death here on VJ, but there is also the issue with filing for AP after 180 days of out-of-status time and whether you will be allowed to re-enter the US.

Congrats! My fiancé had his interview September 3rd but it was in Naples, Italy. He is Egyptian though. They told him he would get his visa in 2 days to 2 weeks but it has been almost 3 weeks and now our status says AP. I really hope you have better luck than us. Don't mean to scare you but I was very shocked and disappointed when I found out we were in AP and I kind of wished someone had warned me that could happen even if they tell you you're approved. I'm hoping the best for you!

October 2008- Met in Florida at his brother's wedding to my good friend

January 2011- He completed his Masters degree then came to Memphis to visit for 2 weeks
May 2011- I moved to Rome and stayed until November

October 2012- I filed the I-129F Petition upon returning to the states (late October-don't remember the exact date)
November 2nd 2012- NOA1
December 25th 2012- I returned to Rome for my last big trip
March 2013- I went back to Memphis to work full time and plan for the wedding
