Clock start sticking when you have medical. So 6 months from medical you have to enter the US.

[acabrera7186 10]

oo its not from the interview

[SparklePony 238]

The visa expiration date is set 6 months from the medical.

Once you enter the US, you have 90 days to marry.

[lcirt 4]

Its 6 months from when your visa is issued/ stamped not from medical

[acabrera7186 10]

so i have to get married before those 6 months expires and 90 days when my fiancee comes to the us correct

[SparklePony 238]

No, you have to enter the US before the visa expires. Then you have 90 days to marry.

[acabrera7186 10]

get married before the 90 days elapses.

90 days starts from day fiance steps foot into US soil.

so 6 months will be ahead of 90days.

before the visa expires, your fiance will get a resident permit in the US.

[acabrera7186 10]

ok got it and then the AOS and work permit etc.

Please, what ever you do, do not rely on us here on VJ to tell you when the visa expires. Please LOOK at the expiration date on the visa. There are some countries where the visa is valid for 6 months after the medical and others where it is valid 6 months after the interview and others where the fiancé(e) is placed into administrative processing (AP) for so long that the medical expires. The expiration date will be on the visa and that is the date your fiancée has to enter the US by.

Good luck,

Dave

[ANJOS 27]

For us it's actually 6 months from the date the visa is issued.

The expiration date is on your visa, clear POE before that date.
