The flow chart says,

*Must enter the US within (typically) 6 months of the K-1 being issued.

What is this window contingent on? Does it vary? I'm wondering if this is a good window to squeeze in the family, ceremonial wedding before my fiancée travels to the US for the civil wedding.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

The visa is typically valid for 6 months, however I have read that if your fiance has any kind of medical conidition (that is discovered during the medical exam) the embassy can change how long the visa is valid for.

I received my visa on November 6th 08, and it expired May 3rd 09. I think that unless you have any outstanding medical concerns and/or conditions, that time frame probably wouldn't be waived.

What we did was to have our traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony with her entire extended family before even attempting the K-1, to give us plenty of time to work with. :)
