Hi guys! Just want to ask if a K1 petition expires. If it does, how many months is the petition considered "good"? thanks!

Yes they give you 4 months for the approval....then i understand that you can ask for a delay if your fiancee is not ready with her/his paperwork

My fiance's k1 petition will expire in a couple months. She has been trying to get her passport for months but there are delays on getting her i.d. to reply for passport. She talked to the consulate about an extension because of this problem. Her petition has been at the consulate since May. They told her there are no extensions given. We will have to reapply and start the whole long process over. Not to mention I will have to repay the 450 dollars for the application fee. That is so wrong. I don't think it is fair that we should be punished for something that isn't our fault. That's government for you.

4-6 months to use the K1 visa depending on country. Which means beneficiary has 4-6 months to use it once it expires start all over again and also once it is used to enter USA it is obsolete. It is a one time entry visa.

I believe the OP is talking about an I-129F petition which has been approved by the USCIS. I don't believe the OP is talking about an Embassy-approved K-1 visa.

OP...The U.S. Embassy Manila can extend the validity of your 129-F petition. To extend the validity of your I-129F petition, simply contact them and ask them to do so. They routinely give extensions.
