Consulate interview set

[Mrs. NSA 6]

YAY, we got our appointment letter yesterday, he waited till we were on skype so we could open it together. Our appointment is in two weeks September 1st at 9:30am. We are so excited and nervous, this whole experiece has been nerve racking as I am sure all of you can understand. So my question is After he gets his stamp in passport how long do we have to use it, then after he comes to US and we get married how long do we have from time of AOS immediatly sent in after wedding, before visa expires, or after we get married and we sent AOS, the time from that point just depends on Government and he has no time limit from there?

You'll have to look at the stamp in the passport to see when it expires - it's generally around 4-6 months. (I believe.) I'm not sure what you mean for the rest... BUT... you'll have 90 days to marry after entering the US. And once you're married, you apply for AOS. The sooner - the better. But if you don't apply for AOS prior to his I-94 expiring... it's fine, they'll forgive those days when you do apply. The K-1 expires upon arrival to the US (it's a 1 time entry visa). So long as you marry within the 90 days, he's not considered to be here illegally, just out of status. Hope that helps. (Pretty positive this is all accurate.)
