K-1 visa... how long is it good for?

[Alhamdulillah 0]

My fiance was approved for his visa and told he can come back to get it after a month but I'm condused about one thing... he asked the consular officer how long it's good for and she told him 3 months. What he meant was how long is it valid before he uses it.... how long does he have before it is invalid? I thought I read someplace that it is good for 6 months... is this correct? I know it's only good for 90 days once he's here.

You are correct.... the K-1 Visa is valid for 6 months from the date of issue.... you must enter the U.S. with the K-1 Visa before the 6 months is over. Then, after entry, you have 90 days to get married.
