Visa Expiration Date vs Petition Revalidated Until Date

[stfal 0]

Hello all,

 

So far everything went well and my fiance received her passport with K1 visa.

My question is will it be a problem for her to enter USA before visa expiration date but after Petition Revalidated date?

I also read some other forum that doctor appointment date also matters when entering the states and after doctor appointment within 6 months a fiance should enter the states. How accurate this information?

 

Thanks.

The visa expiration date is typically 6 months after the date of the medical examination.  She should enter before that expiration date.  Don't wait until the very end of the validity period.

Thanks TBoneTX for your answer.

 

Bec of some family reason she can only enter the states 2 days before the visa expiration date. I feel as long as she enters before the visa expiration date we should be ok but still could not understand the purpose of Petition Revalidated date on the visa which will be passed almost 2 months when she enters the states. I wonder if this something I should worry about.

 

Thanks.

Two days is cutting it close.  No matter what, don't wait until the last day, because things can happen -- flight canceled, entering the U.S. after midnight on the next day, etc.

 

Petition revalidation refers to when a consulate extends a petition to keep it active, such as when it takes a visa applicant many months to get an interview appointment.  Concentrate on the expiration date of the visa.
