castaway109 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 "If the visa is approved, you will be required to make delivery arrangements with the designated China Post Office located in our office to either have it delivered by submitting a notice and the interview appointment letter or to pickup the visa two business days later at the Jun Yuan Post Office of China Post. The visa will be normally valid for half a year. " From Guangzhou website. Link to comment
frank1538 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Don't confuse a visa's validity with its duration. Most nonimmigrant visas are valid for 180 days from issuance. In other words, you must use the visa to gain entry into the US during this timeframe or you're SOL. Once you are admitted to the US, the duration of stay is established via the I-94. For K-3 visas, this is 2 years. Link to comment
castaway109 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 So there it is...6 months to use the visa or lose it....then 2 years after she is in the US to get either an I-130 interview or you file for AOS. Link to comment
