another quick question after receiving k1 visa

[a.t.j24 42]

well I don't know if I was different to everyone else for some reason...but my visa issue date was 22 Sept, and my expiration was 11 Nov 2015. As someone said, maybe that was my medical 6 months?! Either way, still better check

Yes, people incorrectly state the K-1 is valid for 6 months after issuance all the time on this site (or they just say it's valid for 6 months but don't specify from when, leaving people to assume it's from the date of issuance).

The K-1 visa is valid for 6 months from the DATE OF THE MEDICAL EXAM. Now usually that doesn't make for too big of a difference, but it has in some cases.

Another important factor for the OP to keep in mind is that the Medical is only valid for one year, so if you delay AOS too long, you may be required to pay for another medical exam.

That would seem to make sense but, my wife's medical was on 8/14/12. She had her interview on 8/28/12. The visa was issued and delivered to our house on 8/30/12. It clearly says on the visa itself that the Issue Date was 30AUG2012 and Expiration Date 27FEB2013 which would lead me to conclude that it was valid for six months.

Just got my Visa today and it's valid for 6 months from the medical. Took the medical February 4th, and my visa will expire August 3rd. I had a tourist visa valid for 10 years which was cancelled.

POE will be Detroit on June 30th, as our wedding Is on August 27th (will be 58 days after POE)

Today when check the visa status just change to administrative process. What that mean? The visa then don't will issued tomorrow? I will appreciate some help thanks

Don't worry about the "Administrative Processing" it just means they are getting ready or processing your passport back to you or to your fiance.

OP - too many people make the mistake of thinking that the finance visa is a simple thing and that the wedding is the most important. When you immigrate someone here, that is the most important thing. Focus on the dates, follow the rules, and do what they say. Family members will be sad they missed the wedding, but there really is no other way. The government can't accommodate everybody's personal plans, so we have to accommodate their rules instead. Have her come, get married, have a great reception in July (and get remarried) for show.
