Somewhat of a continuation of my last thread which drifted into new questions.

I appreciate the responses and information reqarding the interview. Finally I did receive info and an interview date 05/03 from the embassy.

New question:

We now must condsider the issue of her / my (future) 3 year old child. I understand that he will require a visa.
He was listed on all documents in the petition. I have been given conflicting information concerning his need for a passport. She tried to get him one a few months ago and was denied. Reason being, he is not at the age ( 14 years ) that he needs one.

Has anyone dealt with the embassy on this ?

Congrats on the interview date!

Russia is special with adding the kids to their parent's passport, so as long as he is listed on all the other paperwork, they should be prepared to give him a visa as well.

There are several guys on here that have sponsored children with their fiancees, so they could probably answer you for sure. As far as I know though, for young children, they're covered under the parents.

I have found contradictory information online to my previous post:
10. Am I required to have my own passport to apply for K-2 visa?
In general, a separate passport is not required if you are below the age of 16. If the Consulate requires you to have a passport, it will be listed on the checklist."

Some more information here:
"All children (under 21 years old and unmarried) of an alien classified K1 should be listed on I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance(e). Children also must be present at the interview."

"Accompanying child requires a valid passport (or may be included in the parent's passport), a birth certificate and a medical examination. If a child is 16 years of age or over, police certificates are required. Translations of the indicated documents are required as well."

Hope that solves the issue for you.
