After knowing my (ex) fiance for 10 years, we met and decided to marry. I filed the k1 visa application and it was approved Feb. 3rd of this year. How long is it good? We are having a rough road, and have a lot of uncertainty. It is difficult to have a long distance relationship and it is almost a year since I got to see him. (He is in England). If it expires and we decide to marry in a few years, then will we have difficulty getting another one? Just curious.

Thanks in Advance!

The K-1 Visa is valid for six months from the date of issue.

If you marry after your K-1 Visa expires, you will need to apply for a spousal visa (the K-1 Visa ia a fiance visa).

The approved petition, which it sounds like you have now is good for 4 months. The consulate can extend it for another four months. The visa, once issued is valid for 6 months, meaning he must travel to and enter the USA within 6 months from when it is issued.

No, if you allow this to expire and re-apply it would no tbe a problem in the future.
