My mother is ready to go to her interview for a IV (IR5) in May. I have a couple of questions regarding the process:

1. What is the validity of the visa that she receives ?. Is it 6 months or 12 months ?.
2. If the IV is issued for 6 months by default, can she ask for one that is valid for 8 or 9 months ?. Is that a negative ?.
3. Does her stay requirement closk begin when she is issued the visa, or when she arrives in US ?.

Thanks for your assistance !.

IV is always issued for 6 months validity. If there are circumstances beyond one's control that prevents someone from arriving within the 6 months period, consulate can grant an extension.

She is expected to arrive in the US before her IV expires.
