90 days to marry question

[BradLina 0]

So my fiance got approved for a K1 Visa we are very excited, but just curious to understand this. I was reading and I found that the K1 Visa is valid for 6 months and once you ENTER the US you have only 90 days to marry. We agreed that she stay in her country for the holidays with her family and come in late January. I'm just wondering if others have gotten their visa and waited a little bit before entering the US.

yes, you can do that. The K-1 is one time use, you can use it once during its validity time, then when you enter the US, it is replaced by an I-94 which gives you 90 legal days in the US, in which time you must marry.

Yes. We got our visa in September and we're flying to the US on Tuesday. No problem with it at all. We told them when we plan to fly in the Embassy as well and they had no issue with it.

No problem. I got the K1 visa approved in October and I will be entering the US in January. As long as you're within the 6 months. Usually, they tell you at the interview by what date you need to enter the US too

Same here. Got my visa Nov. 22nd but will be flying to USA on January 1st because I wanted to spend the holidays with my family.

Use the K-1 visa before it expires, the 90 day period is your length of stay authorized once you arrive to the US and is indicated on your I-94. You must marry before the expiration date on your I-94.
