How long is K1 valid???

[Joel731 0]

Hello VJ people,

I've tried searching for an answer for this question and all I saw was an approximate. But here's the situation:

My fiancee will have her interview on Dec 1st (or Nov 29th as it was moved due to holidays) and the original plan is that she'll come here in the US before Christmas. Unfortunately, my father has been really sick that I have to go to the Philippines in a week or so (I was born in the Philippines and naturalized US Citizen). I am the only son and with his condition, I am anticipating of at least a month stay.

Now the question, HOW LONG IS THE K1 VISA VALID? I honestly don't want to postpone the interview for a later date, but Im worried that if I have to stay longer than a month in the Philippines that my fiancee's visa would expire and we would have to redo it over again. For those who were just approved, does it say in your visa how much time are you allowed to enter the US?

Thank you very much for all your help.

Once a K1 visa is issued it is valid for 6 months....sorry to hear of your fathers illness I hope he recovers soon.

She can wait to use the K-1 visa for up to 6 months. You should have no problem. Go and see your father and there will be plenty of time for your fiancee to come back when you are ready.

Joel,

Six months. The expiration date will be printed on the visa.
