POE and medical validity

[expeditor 0]

Hi guys, I got my K1 visa today and the expiry date on it is 9th Feb 2015. Now, my chest x-ray is valid until 5th Feb 2015 whereas the rest of my medical is valid until 22 Dec 2014. Clearly if I go to the US after 22 Dec 2014 my medical would have expired (not the x-ray report though). Will the expired medical be an issue at POE?

(I got the visa through RIYADH embassy)

No. The only thing you need to do is enter the US before the visa expires on 9 Feb. 2015. Once you enter you have 90 days to get married. Once married you file for adjustment of status (AOS). As long as you file for AOS within a year of your original medical date, you will not need a new one. The chest x-ray is one thing you get to keep as a souvenir of your visa process . Most countries that put a restriction on the medical tie the expiry date of the visa to the validity date of the medical--think the PI.

Good luck,

Dave
