By the way any idea what is the validity period of the visa? This topic seems to be pretty vague. Any idea how long would ones GC be valid before they enter/move to the States?

You are getting Green Card and Visa mixed up.

At your interview at embassy after approval you pick up Passport with your Visa. The Visa allows you entry into US. It expires 6 months from the medical date.

Green cards are either 2 years (Conditional-people married under 2 years at time pf Point of Entry) or 10 years (over 2 years married).

And my b1b2 visa doesn't expire another 7 years, I got a 10 year B1B2.

Your b1/b2 visa will be cancelled at interview and you will get the IR1 Visa to enter the US. This Visa is a one time entry Visa. You need no more Visas after you get to US you are automatically a Legal permanent resident.

Your Visa to enter the US is good for 6 months from the time you get your medical.

As far as I know once you get immigrant visa stamp on passport it's only valid for 6 months. / you have to enter before 6 months of visa stamp.

I could be wrong but that's what we had to do on F4. When we came.

Want to Speed up NVC Process ?


Check Guides From Guide section for doccuments and list of stuff and follow this steps


Step 1 After USCIS NOA2 Gather all AOS / IV Package Documents In 3 weeks


Between USCIS Approving and NVC Case Number you have 2 to 3 weeks gather all AOS and IV Documents Get package ready.


Step 2 Obtain NVC Invoice and Case number.


​After 2 weeks of NOA2 Keep on Calling NVC every day to get case number And Invoice number


Step 3 Pay First Fee and DS261


After getting NVC Case Number and Invoice Number Log in to webpage Pay First Fee and Fill out DS261 Takes 24 to 38 Hr to get fee status paid.


Step 4 Conform Agent / Ds261 Over Phone and Sent out Documents


Once First fee turns Paid Online ( Usualy 24 to 48 hr) Call NVC And conform choice of agent over Phone If they won't keep on calling them Until someone will Or other fee won't be unlocked.Also Once you get Welcome letter on email Print out Document Checklist sheet And Sent in your documents to NVC


Step 5 Pay Other Fee and Fill out DS260 (Total time from DS 261 to here should be no longer then 15 days )


​Step 6 Conform Document delivery AT NVC And Ask them Processing Time..


Step 7 Check For CC ( Hopefully no REF )


Call them every other day 2 weeks from DS260 and Check status.. Also Check Online NVC Page If you have 3 N/A your case Complete! Congratulation you are almost done.


Step 8 48 Hr After CC Conformation Call NVC For appointment for interview


Congratulation On your NVC CC AND Good Luck with Interview
