Hi All,

 

I would need a clarification on something - I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it here and we are both confused (and stressed lol). Is the 6 month validity (where the foreign fiancee can still stay in her country before flying to the US) of K1 Visa start from the date it was issued (like after the interview and stuffs) or the date of medical exam?

 

Thank you so much for all your answers.

This info is not correct as this is an extremely old post.

K1 is valid for entry for 6 months from medical exam.

Post is old, info is still valid though, just need to find the right one. Reading is the key. 

I did read. And k1 is not valid for entry from the date of visa issuance, the validity is based on medical exam. 

 

Edit: that post explains 6 months validity to enter than the 90 days period to get married. Which is correct.

However the validity to enter starts from medical exam date not visa issuance date.
