Ok I'm confused about something. Sometimes I think I know it and then all of a sudden someone says something different so I'm not sure which is true.

When my fiance receives the k1 visa, how much time before it expires?

I understand there's a 6 month thing and then three months IN the US in which he has to marry me. But are those three months IN the 6 month time frame or is it that he has up to six months to enter the US and then an ADDITIONAL 3 months while IN the US??

Am I even making sense? It's hard to make sense of what you're saying when you are confused.

Ok...so she has 6 months to use it to COME to the USA.

Once in the USA....she has 90 days to get married to you until it expires.

No...the 6 months is seperate...the 6 months is for her to use it to come to the states. Once she uses it to come to the states...its done...its a one time entry. Then the 90 day (3 month) clock starts for the marriage to happen.

I hope that helps and not too confusing :)
