Thanks, I received my CR1 visa! How long is my CR1 visa valid? I cannot leave for the U.S. immediately.

Answer:

The CR1 visa is usually valid for 6 months. This means you have 6 months to enter the U.S. after it is issued. Check your visa’s “valid until” date to know the exact date of expiry.

If your passport expires before 6 months, the validity period for the CR1 visa will be shorter.
