90 day expiration ?
We received K-1 Dec. 6th 2001. My fiancee's K-1 expires on June the 6th 2002. Due to
parental illness she was not able to come to the US until June 1, 2002.
Will we still have 90 days to get married starting from her arrival on June 1 2001
? Or do we have to get married before June 6th 2002?

Yes, as long as she isn't flying into Detroit.

Sorry, I meant to say she has 90 days AFTER entry. If she was coming through Detroit,
she would already be too late. For some reason, they think the I-129F expiration (4
months after I-129F) approval, is the same time the K-1 expires.

Re: 90 day expiration ?
The K-1 is valid for a period of 6 months, for ONE entry into the US. From the
fiance's date of entry, you THEN have 90 days in which to marry.
I don't know mrtravel's talking about with 4 months expiry and the Detroit POE...

You need to look at the postings from a couple or so weeks ago. Detroit, for some
reason decided you had to enter within 4 months of the I-129F approval.

Re: 90 day expiration ?
Mike is correct.
The Detroit POE believes that the expiration date of the Notice of Approval must not be expired at the time the fiancee enters the US on a K-1. It is easy enough to have the US Consulate extend the date on the NOA at the time of the interview if you are planning on using Detroit as a POE.
Just another bunch of #$%^&* making up rules as they go along to make your life miserable.

That's not true! The I-129F has a 4 month expiration date. The embassy that issues
the visa should revalidate or extend the I-129F if they are to issue a visa against
an I-129F that is past it's expiration date. So if you have that situation then make
sure the embassy revalidates the visa.

I know its not true. I was stating what happened to someone at the Detroit POE. They
were told the K-1 expired when the I-129 approval did.

Re: 90 day expiration ?
Hi Rete,
I was wondering if you could answer a question I have regarding the extension of the I-129F approval.
On the Notice of Action that my fiance got, it stated that the approval is valid from Oct 9- Feb 9. For the sake of argument, let's just say that they issue my visa on the last day of the validity period(i.e. Feb 9) then the visa will be valid only till August 9. I have a little dilemma here. I have to take some summer classes in order to complete my undergrad. The final exams ends either on Aug 14 or 15.
What are my choices in order to get an extension such that I am able to stay beyond Aug 14/15?
Thanks again!!!
