We just recieved an email today from immigration that my DIL"s I129 has been approved. Due some health and work issues, they are not in a real rush now. How long does she have to do her interview...and then how long will her K1 be good for. Are extentions available? My son is trying to get another year in on his contract job in Afghanastan.

So she has 4 months to get interview and 6 months to travel? And I do believe they can get an extention on first part if needed.

The I=129F is good for 4 months when your NOA2 arrives it will have the expiration date on it in the upper right, so you have 4 months to have your interview for your K-1 extensions are possible but not common. The K-1 then is valid for 6 months but contrary to what other poster said it is invalid once it is used and 194 is then used, but you must get married within 90 days of use of K-1.

If I understand correctly you want to postpone actually applying for K-1 and stay in country for awhile. You can try for an extension on your I-129, contact the embassy and see what you nedd to do. Without an extension you have 4 months to use I-129F and then 6 months to use K-1 so you could stretch it out for 10 months if you plan it very carefully.

But in MHO pushing everything to the last day is a little dangerous.

It is due to some medical treatment that she is undergoing.
