Time extension to enter the US under K-1 Visa

[nickeveling17 0]

My Nicaraguan fiancée just received her fiancée visa in hand today. The date of issuance is February 15, 2017 and expiration date is June 12, 2017. We found the expiration date strange as we had understood that we would have 6 months for her to enter the United States under her fiancée K-1 Visa upon issuance of it.

 

We discovered that the June 12 date is 6 months from the day she had her medical appointment. We had planned for her to travel to the States with me at the end of June as we plan to celebrate with her family in Nicaragua prior to the official and legal wedding in the States come July.

 

Does anyone know if we can request a fiancée visa extension so she can remain in her home country for longer--even a month? We literally only would need 1 1/2 weeks longer on the visa expiration date to work with our plan.

 

Can the medical appointment be re-done? Any ideas what could be done?

 

Looking for answers.

Contact them and ask. I know there are extensions available under special circumstances.
