For How Long is a K-1 Valid?

In the information published, it says that one the K-1 is issued at the embassy it is "generally" good for up to 6 month for travel to the US. Does this time vary by embassy? Specifically, will the embassy in Honduras issue a K-1 with up to 6 months to make entry in to the US? Work and family issues make travel to the US difficult until spring time, but we might end of up with our visa documents this fall! If all goes well and we receive the travel approval, how long can we wait until making entry in to the US for our wedding? The uncertainty of the K-1 process certainly is challenging!

it can be shortened by the age of the medical if you get the medical done too far in advance

otherwise it is based on the reciprocity tables by country..

K-1 visas are valid for 6 months from date of issuance. In rare cases, an Embassy has extended the validity beyond the 6 month deadline, but that is rare.

6 months, exactly.

We recently got our approval at Seoul. The K1 visa issued is valid for 4 1/2 months. :)

You could delay the interview a bit to have the visa issued at a later date.

Not always.

If a medical was done too far in advance, the validity of the Visa is shortened.
