K1 petition approval usually expires 4 months after it is approved. When was the petition approved , what consulate are you talking about ? Many times they will let it expire and tell you that you can refile.

You are Half right.The K-1 petition initially is approved for 4 months. and you are correct I would assume it depends on the Consulate. My Fiancees dad got cancer just about as we were approved. We had to put the process on hold.I Emailed the US Embassy in Manila and explained the situation. The Embassy Emailed right back and told me that the Embassy(Manila)" ROUTINELY " Revalidate K-1 Petitions for an addtional 4 Months. they told me they entered that information in their system about my request. So no need to worry they told me. her dad is ok and we are about to schedule Interview. BUT....that is US Embassy Manila.

well the the file for the k1 visa takes 1 year for the official expiration not the formal expiration that the uscis shedules ebcause this links only by the interview but my case was so fast and my NOA2 got approved so fast that is why and so my k1 visa will be officially expired in california service center until feb 15 that is the same day i filed in last time this is what i was told by the congressman he told me by this but what i asked about is the time that the california service center if it is contacting within 120 days given or they sometimes just answaer until 13o days and so on and eceed the time given by them ???? i need someone to anwear my question who passed through this as wel to know exactly the time they took for the uscis to answaer him back even by NOIR or NOID
