After Approval How long is the Visa Valid?

[chinkerton 0]

Hi...new here. basically, my question is, after the whole process and my fiancee gets a visa from the consular, how long before my fiancee would need to come to the US? I know once they get in to the US, it's 90 days. But if she has the visa, what's the latest date she can use the visa? thanks in advanced.

Six months from date of issue. K1 is only a one time entry visa.

Answers above are correct - K1 visa is good only for 6 months and just for one entry. If your fiancee doesn't enter the US border within this 6 months the visa expires and you will have to start the process from the beginning.
