Hey,

Could somebody point me to an official link stating the time you're allicated to enter the US once your K-1 is approved. I know it's 90 days from when you land you have to get married, but how long is it from when its approved and in your passport till you travel? I always thought it was 6 months but now my dads asking i can't remember where I saw it to show him where it says....

You have 6 months from the time your visa is in your passport to fly to the states. I'll see if I can find the 'official' link.

You have to enter within 6 months after the K1-visa was issued. I got this information yesterday from the consul I talked to.

That's right . " Once you have the K1 Visa it is good for one entry into the United States within 6 months of the issue date. A K2 Visa holder (child of K1 Visa holder) may enter up to one year after the K1, but a K2 Visa holder may not enter the U.S. prior to the K1. "

frednat,

You are confusing two different things. A K2 visa is valid for 6 months, the same as a K1.

A K2 visa must be issued within 1 year of the issuance of the K1 visa (which carried to the extreme would allow a K2 to enter almost 18 months after their K1 parent).
