I do realize I do ask many questions here and I am aware some of the questions I do ask have been asked before. But, when I do look up those questions and answers, I would noticed that most of the question were asked years ago. So I like to be current.

My question:

After getting my Fiancee is approved for the Visa, how much time will she have to move to the USA?

They are not going to have to get on the plane after the interview?

Thank y'all

not 100% true. Some K1 filers have had 3 months to go to the US. It generally is 6 months, but to be sure, the visa expires based on the date you see on the actual visa.

no. you will not get the visa the same day. The actual visa expiration date on your visa determines the expiration. There have been cases where people have had 3 months imprinted on their visa.

Wow.

Visas are not pre-printed. They are printed in the passport AFTER issuance. Validity date is printed on the visa. If you did not deal with a TB issue IGNORE the 3 month comments.
