I found an answer for UK medical and Validity Period of the Visa :)

Validity Period of the Visa
The validity period of an immigrant and fiance(e) visa is based on the validity period of the medical examination, the maximum validity of which, is six months.

That implies the London visas should expire when the medicals do, but wasn't there a London person who said it went beyond?

Our consulate gives an earlier expiry date on the visa if the medicals expire, I know this both from what others have reported and from what the CO told me. It is confusing - at least for things like general forum advice! - when different consulates handle it differently.

Yes, SusieQQQ, this is correct, yet if I understood correctly, it seems to be true in all cases that the expiration date of the medical determines the latest possible US entry date. Correct? A difference seems to exist between some consulates, insofar as some will adjust visa expiration dates, while others won't and therefore inform applicants that they have to additionally consider the medical expiration date. If the above is correct, respective advice should be to compare visa & medical expiration dates and to always use the earlier one (if there should be a difference) of the two, for purpose of travel planning etc. Makes sense?

It would make sense except that the vast majority of applicants are not told when their medical expiry dates are. What makes more sense to me is to adjust the visa date ....

Yes, agreed, it would be a logical approach and would make it easier for applicants to understand and follow...

They can do her only but bear in mind he will be too late to get a DV derivative visa to follow-to-join if she is interviewing in September so there is no point in him attending the interview - he will need to do meds and pay the interview fee to attend the interview anyway so if he can't afford to pay for the things then be can't attend... (It is NOT a visa fee it is a visa interview fee that has to be paid to do an interview...whether or not you get the visa) So she can go through with it alone and then sponsor him from the US on the visa for spouse of LPR - but it will be a much longer and more expensive process for her to sponsor him as a spouse once she is there. Also from what I understand as she will sponsor him from the US she will need to be able to show she is earning enough to do so because an affidavit of support would be needed then.

SusieQQQ, If I understood his message correctly his friend is the winner, his wife DV-2.

When he said "his wife alone the winner" I though that meant wife was the selectee. If the wife was DV2 no they can't do this as no derivative can get a visa if the winner doesn't, and no derivative can enter before the winner.

@utamaduni: Please clarify, who won the lottery, your friend or his wife. SusieQQQ is right, your original text does not make this clear...
 
Thanks guys @ Susieqqq and Euro2014 for your valuable in put.....sorry if the post was misleading....the lady is the winner the husband is the derivative...as i can read above it means they must come up with the whole amount and go for the interview together...if not the later process will be lengthy and costly....
i had mentioned to him may be sending some new forms and declaring the husband will be joining him later.....like 6 months down the line could be posssible...but i see that is a No No No!!!!

No. If the appointment was early in the fiscal year that would have been an option but all DV-related visas must be issued by 30 September.
 
Hi, just received my visas , with 4 separate envelopes. So mine , my husbands and my sons visas valid only for 5 months, and my daughters (11 years old) 6 months. Funny. :)

Yes, interesting. Not much you will be able to do about it, though, at this stage. At least you have 5 months for the activation trip. Have fun with travel plans etc.!
 
Thank you all !!!

One more thing, if maybe someone knows , in the visa " Annotation 212 (g) (2) (B) " what does that mean??? Thanks
