Contact the embassy. They are the only ones who can extend a K1 that's already been granted (if possible, right?)

ill do that. I was almost sure Id have to go through the whole process again, but was hoping it could be a way for it not to be from scratch.

thank you though

Hello! I don't know if anyone have had this situation/experience.

so my fiancé and I had some difficulties the past months and we weren't ready to use the K1 visa.

so it is going to expire in less than a month and we decided is too soon and we want to wait.

so at this point where the visa was never used because I never traveled to the U.S. what can be done?

can it be extended or are we going to have to do the whole process all over again from step 1?

if so is a whole new process?

thank you so much 

I'd really like and appreciate your help and legit answers!

has anyone gone through this?

I read somewhere I believe another forum that you can write a letter to be extended but not sure if that's after USCIS approved it and before the interview or it could be once the visa been granted.

On your K-1 visa, there is an expiration date printed. Go by that date , and please don't listen to the first two posters as they gave incorrect information. You will have to enter the US before the expiration date printed on your K-1 visa. You can redo your medical in the US for AOS but it's going to be pricey.

Scandi and Suss gave you informative information. Note and listen. 

@Scandi @Dutchster thank you so much ttou have been really helpful. Relieved me so much. Im sorry im all emotional thought I'd miss it. 

Did y'all entered after the date on the medical summary sheet?

yeah, getting your vaccines here is going to be expensive. According to the instructions on the The I-693 form from USCIS, it has to be completed by a Designated Civil Surgeon. This means that you cannot go to just any GP for that, you have to use one on USCIS' list. http://www.visajourney.com/content/us-civil-surgeons

Thank you. 

Do you think maybe at POE the officer will tell me that i have to get them and where/when?

Hi. Thank you.

So this results that expire on september 30th i cannot use for my AOS, right? But i can still travel to the U.S with them expired as long as the date printed in my visa isnt, right?

The info is correct, your visa is only valid for 6 months from the date of your medical. They will print that date on your visa. 

 

Meaning, the expiration date you see on your visa is the date of your medical plus 6 months. You should alwqys go by the visa date, the embassy has already done the counting for you and added the correct date to your visa.

 

The date by which you need to have your visa issued before the medical exam expires and the date by which your visa expires are two different things. Your visa will always be valid for 6 months from the date of your medical, no matter if the medical is only valid for 3 months in order to get your visa.

So that means i can travel to the US with the med results expired as long as i do it before the visa expiration date stamped in my passport?

Do you think I can find that info validated? I just want to be 100% sure. 

Thank you so much! I really thought for what i read that if any other document expired before then the passport validity would adjust to that. And I couldn't make the teip before september 30th..

Where have you read that? Do you remember?

Ive read it in forums i believe. But also along with my packet they sent two letters, one saying not to open the packet and the other welcoming me to the united states, this one says " the k1 visa is valid for ine entry only, and is valid for six months from the approval date.

However, if any of your documents expire within six months, the visa might be limited to that date."

You need to enter the US before the visa expires. The expiration date on the medical paper you got only means that you need to get your visa before that date, or else you'll need to get a new medical. And you already have your visa so the date on the medical doesn't matter anymore.

Hello Scandi. That sounds great. But ive read that the expiration date of the passport is 6 months but if the expiration date on any of the documents happen first then it'll expire then.. my fiancee called the nvc, but they basically said it depends on the officer in turn, they might let me in with them expired or not admit me.

hmm, that's strange based on your dates, your medical was only valid for 3mo's? Normally the medical for a K1 visa is valid for 6mo's and if you had it in June as you stated, then it should be valid until Dec. 

That's what says on the top right side of the sheet they gave me at the clinic with the xrays cd. Says expiration date 09/30/2017.

Ive been reading is usually valid for 6 months but mine says that date. Maybe could be because they gave me the option to get the vaccines in the states and i decided to do that instead of right then?

you have to enter US before your Medical expires (that is for K1 visa)

 

K1 comes with multiple *** (T&C) 

 

@Gorkhali the problem is that they expire this saturday and I can't travel before the medical results expire. I called my embassy by they said that's not longer their jurisdiction. So i dont know if i can redo the medical exams and be good for another 3 months maybe since my visa in the passport expires til december. 

Hello. I would appreciate some help..

I got my k1 visa approved back in june 21st. Got my medical results in june 16th. In the only sheet they give me says on top the expiration date for the medical results, which is september 30th. 

I'm not able to fly to the U.S before then. I really don't know what to do or what applies..

In my passport my visa expires until december, but I read its expiration time depends on if other documents expire first.

Thank you so much for the help in advance..
