This bit was interesting, I have seen a lot of angst over this sort of question duriong the past few months...

If a K-1 visa, valid for a single entry and a six-month period, has already been used for admission into the United States and the alien fiancé(e) has returned abroad prior to the marriage, the consular officer may issue a new K visa, provided that the period of validity does not exceed the 90th day after the date of initial admission of the alien on the original K visa and provided also that the petitioner and beneficiary still intend and are free to marry. The alien’s return to the United States and marriage to the petitioner must take place within 90 days from the date of the original admission into the United States in K status

Ken,

The FAM is a DoS manual - why do you refer to it as DHS in your subject line?

The USCIS does have a similar manual, the Field Adjudicator's Manual (AFM?) that is equally interesting.
