Does the K1 petition expire during processing?

[alex&ketino 0]

Hi everybody, just wondering if the K1 actually becomes expired after 4 months of setting at the CSC, or do they reupdate it after they continue the processing on the case? If it does become expired, must I call them up and tell them that I still wish to continue with the process?

Thanks

The CSC processes the petition. Once approved by the service center, it is valid for 4 months. There is no expiration during the initial processing as they have six months to complete the processing before you can even make an official inquiry into your petition status

If it takes longer than 4 months to get an interview or if your visa is delayed for another reason, most consulates automatically extend the validity but you can email them to be sure and safe.
