It's valid for six months from the date of the medical or the date of approval, whichever happened first (for most people it's the medical).

I'm talking about once the beneficiary receives their visa stamp in the passport how long do they have until that expires? And does the 90 days start once thats issued or when they enter the USA ?

If you're talking about a K-1, the associated I-94 will be valid for 90 days from PoE.

The expiration of the visa will be in the passport, which is the 6 months from medical or interview (whichever comes first). At POE using the K-1 visa, she will get an I-94 stamp good for 90 days. At that point, the K-1 visa is no longer valid and only the I-94 matters.

You have 6 months and then once you arrive you have 90 days to get married.

 

How long after you were approved did it take you to actually get the visa from DHL?
