time limit for travelling after Visa stamping

[raj_ind]

Hi All,

My parents have scheduled interview date in Jan 2007 ( i have taken the appointment in July ) . They are planning to be in the US only when i conceive so that they can be here with me during delivery .
Incase they get a 6 months Visa , is it like they should travel to US within the 6 months time gap and if they dont travel , do they have to go for stamping once again?. Is there any time limit that they have to travel after getting the visa ?. please let me know .

I dont know where you heard this rumor.
There is no such 6 months limit, any one with a valid US visa can travel to USA, any time within the expiry of the visa.

Depends case by case bisis, it is up to the officer and difficult to predict.
