Extending K1 Visa Expiration Date?

[HKtoUSA 30]

I'm wondering if anyone has ever successfully had the expiration date on their K1 visa changed to a later date after it was issued. I don't want to get into the exact specifics, but my fiancé's visa expiration date is in April (we were planning to move to the U.S. that month) but for family reasons, he needs to be able to travel overseas in June/July. Given that he would not be able to travel for several months after entering the U.S. while waiting for his travel approval, we're wondering if we should consider delaying our move a few months. 

 

So the question is: do embassies/consulates even entertain such requests? We don't want to extend the 90-day period of course, we just want to have the ability to enter the U.S. at a later date without having to go through the entire K1 application and approval process again. We'd be willing to pay another MRV fee and do another medical exam if that was required. Any info would be appreciated!

A k1 cannot be extended because its expiration date is tied to the original medical 

 

A consulate at their discretion may or may not re issue the visa after resubmission of all consulate required documents.   

 

You will have to explain why the first issued visa could not be used.
