K-1 visa/LLM+LAI

[dws1]

 Hello to all,
                I have a question I hope some of you may be able
to help with. My fiancee was granted approval for her K-1 visa
on May 21st, which means it expired 09/21/01. However, because
of additional paperwork involved, and then later, the interview,
she was not actually issued her visa until August. This was at
the American Embassy in Bogota. This would have left us less than
30 days to plan her trip to the US. Is this right, or would the
date on her visa be different?  
    For Gregory, who posted a question about LLM and LAI. I was
in Bogota October of 2000. This was about the time Nelson split
from LLM to form his own agency. As far as I know, he is now
entirely seperate from LLM. Leo Wernli is now the "point man"
for LLM in Bogota. I met him and went to his agency...seemed to be
a really nice guy and knew his business. Don't know much about
Nelson, although he too, seemed a nice fellow. I stayed at his
hotel, the Balcones del Miranda. OK, but nothing to write home
about. He was in the process of making improvements when I was
there. Tried to find his Web site or e-mail, but no luck. Sorry.

You should have her look at the Visa that is glued into her passport.  It will have an expiration date on it

The visa in her passport should be good for 6 mos...meaning she has six mos. from the date the visa was issued at the embassy in order to enter the US on that visa. Then from the day she enters the US, the 90days starts...

The date on Tentative Approval letter is different from the date the Visa was issued.  The date that is on your letter saying the Visa was tentatively approved here in the US, is basically irrelevant.

To JunFanTX,

             Thanks so much for your help. I sent an
e-mail to my fiancee Sunday night and asked her to do
exactly what you said, but haven't heard back yet.
I'am sure everything will be ok. Thanks again.
