Fiance cant travel to the US before K1 expiration

[neurotraveller1 0]

My fiancé cannot travel to the US before the expiration of her K-1 visa, as we are working out the  US citizenship for our daughter, who will not receive her passport before then. We were told to return the visa to the embassy with a written letter, asking permission to reapply for the visa. Does this mean that we have to totally start from the beginning from scratch or can we just pay for a new interview and medical?

If permission is granted you will file a new DS-160

The consulate will provide instructions if the re-issue is approved.  The CO has the discretion of re-issuing.

Depending on how long you want to delay the reissuing of the visa, it’s quite possible.   Consulate has full discretion since you’re requesting something unusual.

Possibly.

Don’t take anything for granted and begin Urgent Campaign to get Fiancé to travel before visa expires OR have it IN WRITING that she will be re issued a visa without the need to start from scratch.

Child can travel without visa / passport . Also try contacting US Citizens emergency officer at the Embassy to see if they will do an emergency passport for the baby.

It's possible, and they can also ask the immigrant to go through another medical since the expiration date of the visa is most often tied to the medial date.
