how much time to come to US after Consular processing of IR5 (parent)

[sssnayak]

Hi,
My mother will be scheduled for Consular Processing of IR5 visa in India. I have few questions:
1. What happens after interview, if she succeeds. Do they stamp the passport? If so, for how long?
2. How much time does she have after she completes the interview to come to US? Is it ok if she comes six months after interview?

Thanks

... Consulate will stamp her passport with immigrant visa and she will get her passport back in mail. She will also get an envelope that needs to be carried during her first trip to US. Also, immigrant visa is valid for 6 months.

2. How much time does she have after she completes the interview to come to US? Is it ok if she comes six months after interview?
... Immigrant visa is valid for 6 months. She needs to speak to consulate if she thinks she need more then six months to travel.

Thanks
