As long as it is before your Visa expires.

No - The date on the DS-160 is an estimate at best as no one knows when they will actually get their Visa. As long as you enter the US before the expiration date on the Visa, you should have no issues. We were not expecting to be able to get Jaycel's visa before October so we put October 15th as the intended date. Things fell into place for us a lot more quickly and she entered the US on August 30th with zero issues.

So mine interview date was November 19, I put the intended date to travel as December 14. I have the visa now so it means I can still travel to the USA on January right? Sorry if I didn’t get you at first. I just want clarity

Did you receive the visa yet? What is the expiration date? As long as you arrive in the US before that expiration date you will be fine

Ok, if you enter in January you will have no issues with the date of your travel. The date you put on the DS-160 was only an estimate and they will not have a problem if you travel on a different date

Just don't wait until the last day or two of visa validity.  Things can happen -- airline issues, domestic unrest, etc. -- that can cause delays.  If you travel in January and the visa expires in April, all is well with the timing.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
