Can extensions be asked for?

[ramos96 1]

Ok, here is a good question that has come up. Here is some information.

We have yet to file our I-129F. She lives in Hong Kong teaching, but is a Canadian. I'm an American.

Lets say we file at the end of July during her trip here to visit me again, we need the trip also for additional information for the I-129F. Let us suppose that my app flies through in about 6-7 months that would put us in february of 2007, her teaching school year is NOT over until June 2007, I think the K-1 visa is valid only for 4 months, what do I at that point if the app goes too quickly and the K-1 will expire before she can leave Hong Kong? are extensions ever granted? can they even be asked for?

Sincerely and Humbly,

Ramos

She has 6 months from the time the K1 is issued to enter the US.

There are ways that you can drag your feet somewhat...

A slight delay in providing the COnsulate with the Checklist will slow down the time to interview..

You can also request that the visa not be issued until a later date after the interview...

But the K visa is good for 6 months after it has been issued...
