visa issued form Romania, does it expire?

[OUR LOVE 1]

^{My fiancée's father has become sick. I just receive the NOA2 on 6 16 2015 and we have been waiting 6 months.}

^{I am guessing it will take another 6 to 8 weeks before her interview. Of course she will not leave until her father is better. it may take awhile.}

^{Does anyone know how long the visa will last once it is issued?}

^{Does it have an expiration date?}

Yes, the Visa has an expiration date. Normally it's valid for 6 months counting from the date you took the medical exam.

Thanks, I was thinking we could use up some to the 4 months allotted to get the medical and interview done but I really hate to wait because I don't know how busy they are.

Your visa is the K1, right? If it was the CR1 you could go to the US and return to Romania anytime. But with the K1 visa you will have to stay in the US until married and can leave only after you receive the AP (advance parole).

Your NOA2 is valid for 4 months but can be lengthened by the embassy.

When your approved I-129F petition reaches the U.S. embassy in Romania, you might be able to schedule a visa interview pretty far in the future. As stated, the visa (if granted) would then be valid for 6 months from the date of the beneficiary's medical examination.
