Extend fiance visa?

[weisser83 0]

Is it possible, under any circumstances, to extend a fiance visa once the fiance is in the US?

It has been about two months and we still feel like we need more time to get to know each other and make decisions that will shape the rest of our lives. With only a month left, we are grabbing for any and all straws.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Short answer is no... you must marry within 90 days. I'm pretty sure that's not a waiverable limit.

No, the visa cannot be extended. You marry within 90 days or the visa expires and the foreign fiance is out of status. It is possible to marry after the 90 days and start the AOS process with an I-130 but if the foreigner overstays and doesn't marry the petitioner there are consequiences.

For any reader now or in the future, the K1 visa is not a courtship visa. It is for legitimately engaged to be married couples. The decision to marry is already stated in the letters of intent, months before the visa is issued. Yes, sometimes relationships don't work out but the courtship and marriage decision is to be made before filing the I-129F petition.

Well said.

I second that.

I third that. Why if you needed more time to get to know each other, did you file for the fiancé visa that is intended for marriage??

If you needed more time to know each other and not sure then you should have maybe visited on a waiver or something and THEN made the decision to marry when you both were ready.

It seems like a waste of time and money to do that.

My advice would be not to get married unless you are sure that it is what you both want. I think you'll be better off to take the time to make the correct decision. If the marriage takes place after 90 days, it brings some complications to the table, but they can be worked out.

You should of made the decision of marriage before you submitted your K1 Visa Application.

Wow, you seem wishy washy to me.

Send him back and set him free.....

As stated many times already, you can't extend the visa. I don't know why however, if you're still not sure, that they couldn't return to their home country and you could file again at some future date if you both decide later that this is something you still want. I've seen a few couples on VJ do this. It would mean continuing a long distance relationship even longer, but it will give you both some breathing room to do some more communicating.

If at all possible, perhaps the USC could live in the beneficiary's country for an extended period as well before deciding on whether you wanted to get another K-1.

Best of luck in whatever you decide.

It is not the visa that would need extending (because it has already been used and therefore no longer valid), but the authorized stay or status period as indicated on the I-94.

As others have said... this cannot be extended....

I don't think the OP was looking for judgement on his/her relationship. Please keep those kinds of comments to yourself as they do not help anybody.

To the OP, you got great advice from some good people already but I will add that if you are not absolutely sure they perhaps you should give it more time and file again at a later date. You are correct and wise to assume that marriage should not be taken lightly. Your 'fiance' will have to return to his/her home Country before the I-94 expiration at 90 days.

Time for some soul searching.

good luck to you
