K-1 visa expiration vs marriage time limit confusion

[LukasAnderson 3]

Hey everyone. 
 

my fiancé recently had her visa approved and we are planning to head back to the states in the next few months. 
 

her visa expires Jun 22nd, and she is planning to come to the states on Jun 7th. First of all, didn’t mean to cut it so close, but wasn’t aware the six month validity was tied to medical examination date and not visa reception. She has already booked her flight 

 

I know the visa will allow her to enter the US and we must marry within 90 days, however, do we need to be legally wed before her visa term expires on 6/22? Or as long as she enters the country before that time, we have 90 days to wed regardless of the k1 visa expiring?

 

I’ve tried to pull up info on this and can’t find anything specific. 
many advice is appreciated!

No the two periods of time are separate..  enter before the visa expires

 

marry within 90 days of entry 

 

once she uses the visa to enter it is no longer of any use .. it is a one time use visa .. Date of entry sets the 90 day clock ticking
