K1 extension?

Does someone know if I could get an extension after the K1 has been attached to my passport? I got my K1 in November and will end in April. Takes more time then anticipate to sale my place and wonder how to extend a K1 if possible… I'm still in Canada btw.

Thanks

I do not believe the K1 visa can be extended. Use it or lose it sort of thing. Couldn't you leave your place unsold under the representation of a realtor? Many people move before their homes are sold...

August 23, 2010 - I-129 F package sent via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

August 30, 2010 - Per Department of Homeland Security (DHS) e-mail, petition received and routed to California Service Center for processing. Check cashed. I-797C Notice of Action by mail (NOA 1) - Received date 08/25/2010. Notice date 08/27/2010.

After 150 days of imposed anxious patience...

January 24, 2011 - Per USCIS website, petition approved and notice mailed.

January 31, 2011 - Approval receipt notice (NOA 2) received by mail. Called NVC, given Santo Domingo case number, and informed that petition was sent same day to consulate.

Called Visa Specialist at the Department of State every day for a case update. Informed of interview date on February, 16 2011. Informed that packet was mailed to fiance on February, 15 2011.

February 21, 2011 - Fiance has not yet received packet. Called 1-877-804-5402 (Visa Information Center of the United States Embassy) to request a duplicate packet in person pick-up at the US consulate in Santo Domingo. Packet can be picked-up by fiance on 02/28.

March 1, 2011 - Medical exam completed at Consultorios de Visa in Santo Domingo.

March 9, 2011 at 6 AM - Interview, approved!

March 18, 2011 - POE together. JFK and O'Hare airports. Legal wedding: May 16, 2011.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

I looked into this for the very same reason. We were told that you can request it but it was very possible that they would refuse to do so. The worst case scenario is that they say no so I would give it a try. The Spring market will be starting, soon, so there's every possibility that your home will sell before the visa expires. The nice thing is that, if it closes after you move to the US, you won't be taxed on the sale as a non-resident homeowner since it was your main residence prior to your move. In my case I opted to move and have others handle the supervision of the movers for me since my house had sold, but the closing occurred after the expiration of my visa. I went ahead and signed off on all the documents with my lawyer before I left since the K-1 had the limitations on my ability to travel back and forth.
