Question about times and deadlines...

Hey all, I don't know the exact number terms but we applied for our fiancee petition, which then was approved and sent to my fiancee here in Belgium. After talking about it, because myself and my family were going to be coming to visit her family and her during spring break, we decided that we would wait to put it in until I was here (I'm here for a couple months because work permits it this time of the year) Anyways we were told that we had like 6 months to respond about it and I just read somewhere that we really only had 4, and that it had to be DONE within 4, or else it has to be renewed. We have not had our appointment yet, and the other day we put in the papers from the packet they sent her about her biographical area, along with putting in to get her police record (she doesn't have one but we have to just show she doesn't obviously). Anyways, we were apart for almost 3 months last time she left and I think its getting somewhat close to 4 now and we've started the process but I'm worried about our deadlines, should I be? We're ready to get this all in and hopefully be married this summer but I'm really really stressed out about it. Any help is appreciated.

PS, also if its true that we do need to get it renewed, could someone even tell me how we would go about that? Should I be worried about having to wait even longer? Sigh, this process seems to be so difficult when you're having to just deal with real life issues along with it. :/

I'm not sure if there is deadline for sending packet 3 back to the consulate but the six months you refer to is how long you have to wait to enter the U.S. using the K1.

good luck

I-129F petition approvals are good for four months but as long as you return the Packet 3 in a reasonable time, the Consular officer can simply extend the petition validity for another four months. This is not a worry. A two month delay in responding as instructed is not a problem.

Once the visa is in hand, she'll have six months to enter the US and 90 days to marry you in the USA.

How can I be sure that the consular officer can extend the petition validity? We haven't even spoken to a real person yet :/ Haha all they did was send us the packet of stuff, along with a 90 euro bill we need to pay and that was about it. To call them its 15 euro even here in Belgium and I don't know if its even who I need to contact about extending it...
