My parents visa was issued an May 2010 ( 5 months ago) for 5 years and is multiple entry. Due to some family problem, they have not made any trip to America. Now, everything is going normal and I have decided to call them here after the great festival. I guess that would be on Nov last or Dec first. Is there any immigration / Uncle Sam's law to enter US within certain specific period after issuance of Visa ?

I am hearing from some folks that they must enter the country withing 6 months of issuance, it it right ?

If they are right, does it make any difference if they are few days or weeks behind the 6 months deadline ?
Please, share your experience and clear my confusion.
Thank you in Advance

HAPPY VIJAYA DASHAMI AND DEEPAWALI TO ALL.

New entry, they don't need to worry at all. My mom just came after having visa stamped more than year ago. They will ask you nothing. So just relax and enjoy your Dashain.

the only thing they might ask in Port of entry is their purpose of visit, other than that they ask nothing.....

Thank you Allergo and Lanthus. I am really excited to know all this. 
Yea, their Visa was issued for my Graduation Celebration and now I am on OPT card. If they were questioned in port than I believe they can just say about their few months visit, since, Visa does not say the reason of issuance.

Hi,
First of all, all the best from my side. By the way, I am also planning to invite my parents on B2 visa. Do you know how can I apply from US on their behalf?
Thanks

HI Highway - star, 
To invite your parent you should have a good reason/celebration so that they can explain to the visa counselor in Nepal. All you need to do is send then a letter stating you really wanna invite them for .....reason. After that, everything is done from Nepal. They need to arrange all the documents like - Financial, property valuation, relationship, bank statement and others.
Finally, with all the paper work ready, need to fix a date for interview and if everything is genuine than Counselor will issue the Visa.

P.S. - Try applying them for a very good reason,

Good Luck !!

@Highway-star
u may need following:
-copy of ur I-20
-ur invitation letter
-invitation letter from ur school (usually ur int'l adm. officer writes one)
-proof from school stating that u're graduating in December
-if u have apt., send the copy of the lease docs, so ur parents can say that they r gonna stay at ur apt.
-the duration of their intended stay must not be more than 5 weeks.
-ur parents must be able to prove "non-immigrant intent" that means they should be able to furnish documents
that will force them to return Nepal after the graduation ceremony..
the docs that will fulfill such criteria would be: ur parents business
in Nepal (if they have), their jobs (if governmental, is best), if u
have siblings in Nepal that may also be another reason ur parents could
return, if ur parents r pension holder from their govt. job that can
also help. So, main point is "ur parents must be able to prove to the
consular of their 'non-immigrant intent', by showing various things that
shows their ties to their home country." If u've siblings in US, do not
hide that fact, coz the consular knows everything. Ask ur parents to be
truthful as much as they can, and just don't lie. That will be it for
increasing the chances of getting the visa, rest is up on the
interviewer and interviewee, and all u can do after that is PRAY! If it's for December,
it's getting late now, so better hurry up & Good Luck!

Happy Dashain!!

Highway-star.
This is my real and recent experience. I graduated this May. I wanted to invite my parents in graduation ceremony. Like you are doing now, I asked some of my friends who had already graduated and invited their parents. I figured, the embassy need only a proof that you are Graduating. Rest, all the require things are done  from Nepal.

I was told to send a letter from an International office, and as far I know thats the solid proof the embassy require. Just to be in safe side, I also send a copy of I-20 with the letter and I asked my brother to write a letter for me. The letter was nothing more than my graduation day and my humble request to assist them with Visa, and also ask him to sign for me. I was just being lazy to send a letter from here and thought that would not be a big deal.  Thats all the documents I send from here. I asked my parents to prepare all the document like I did when I was applying for Visa. 

They went with all the documents for interview and they were interviewed for less than a min. The interviewer congratulate them for my achievement and ask them when are they returning back.

They were issued Visa. 

So, its up to you. What are you going to do? and believe me, my parents financial documents were not very strong. With a low income statement, they were issued visa very comfortably.

Good Luck again.
