in general terms,

6 months from the day of the medical exam.

The validity dates are printed on the visa, typically it's a 6 month span.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

The K1 is a one time use visa. It is typically issued for 6 months, but may expire sooner due to medical. Once you use the visa to enter the US, it becomes invalid for further travel.

This does not constitute legal advice.

After the visa is approved, how long is it valid for? Does my fiancée have to come within a certain time frame? Thank you.

The K-1 visa, once issued (stamped in your passport), will be valid for 6 months. So, you have to "use" it within 6 months

from that date to travel into the U.S. Once you are in the U.S., the K-1 visa is "gone" (used), and you will have 90 days to

get married (to the petitioner.) If you do not, you will have to leave again.

The medical exam (results) are valid for one year, so, usually, you will not a new exam by the time you do AoS.
