My Fiancé went to her Visa interview in Chishinau, Moldova, on April 20, 2021. On May 10, 2021 she received her passport back with her Fiancé Visa in it. She sent me a picture of the Visa questioning it. Apparently it's valid from May 6, 2021 thru 10 September, 2021.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I was under the impression that a K-1 Visa had a 6 month validity. I counted and ours is 4 months and 4 days.

March 2021. There was a huge delay because she couldn't do medical and get interview back to back. The embassy has very few dates.

 

That makes sense... The gap is the rest of the month and 1/2 from medical.

Valid to 6 months from medical is the rule

I would think with covid those dates would be out the window. Maybe it was a mistake?
