Hey folks

I am finally been granted the visa after 3 refusals of 221g..So I want to know how much time one gets to travel to US?? I know it's some 6 months but the period starts from the date of medical examination or from the date of issuance of visa??

I need to know this as I cannot go to collect the passport n visa this week so I won't be able to see the validity of the visa on my passport until I go but I thought of booking the flight so wanted to have an fair idea of the validity of the visa?

Thanks

Thanks mark for replying but if it's from the date of medical then what if one don't get an visa only 6 months from his medical ??

If the medical is expiring, they will ask for a new one.

In some countries the medical is good for a year I think. Don't quote me on that.

Yeah usually it is 6 months from medical. If your medical is about to expire or will soon, you may need to travel fast. I've seen visa re-issues approved in such cases, but that would mean the expense of another medical and possibly other fees.
