K1 Visa question about window to marry in

[bemydruidess 0]

Hi - I have looked on here but cannot seem to find an answer to this question, I am sorry.

I would like to know if, once the K1 Visa is approved, there is a certain amount of time within which you must have flown to the US? I know that upon entering the US that the visa is good for 90 days and you must marry within those, but I am curious if once granted the visa you MUST immediately travel to America?

My partner and I want to be together as quickly as possible (as we all do), but naturally would like to know we have some breathing room if by the point of the K1 visa being granted, we don't have as much money as we would like to have saved, so I can stay in my job for some time to save before I am unable to work in America until EAD.

You can use the visa to enter the US up to the validity date of the visa (expiration date) and the validation date of the I-129f (usually expires before the visa) noted on your visa. Visa is valid for 1 entry, and if you want to adjust status base on the visa you marry within 90 days of entering. Fairly clear process, been answered a few times here.

It should be 6 months from the medical date.
