Just Google search without the spaces: IM MI HE LP follow-to-join and you will see that K-Visa is a path to follow to join benefits

From this same link that I also unsuccessfully tried to link here but it gets redacted for some reason, let's discuss what it says:

"Following to join benefits for children

Important: This section is only applicable to lawful permanent residents who did not gain their LPR status as the immediate relative of a U.S. citizen.

If you had children before you became a lawful permanent resident, and your children did not physically accompany you to the United States, and you would now like your children to join you in the United States, your children may be eligible for following-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your children, and your children will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you can simply notify a U.S. consulate that you are a lawful permanent resident so that your children can apply for immigrant visas. If, however, you immigrated to the U.S. as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen who did not or could not petition for your children, you will need to file a separate I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.

Your children may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if:

You immigrated on the basis of a fiancè(e) petition

You immigrated on the basis of a diversity immigrant application

You immigrated on the basis of an employment-based petition

You immigrated on the basis of a petition filed by your brother or sister

You immigrated on the basis of an immigrant petition filed by your U.S. citizen parent(s) when you were married or when you were unmarried and over 21 years of age

You immigrated on the basis of your relationship with your lawful permanent resident parents when you were unmarried

Also, for your child to be eligible for following-to-join benefits, he or she must:

Be unmarried and

Be under 21 years of age and

Have been a child from a marriage of yours (the marriage must have existed at the time of your admission to the U.S.) or

Have been a stepchild from a marriage of yours (the marriage must have existed at the time of your admission to the U.S.) or

Have been legally adopted prior to your admission to the U.S., and otherwise qualify as an adopted child under the immigration law."

Obviously a K-1 entrant's children do NOT fall into these categories because the marriage that they are a child of did NOT exist at the time of the K-1 entrant's admission to the US.

I am eagerly awaiting your rebuttal.

I can tell you now that i m m i h e l p is a self interest site. They are only interested in luring people to buy their visa service. The post on the site rarely gets answered. Look at the top threads on that site compared to VJ.

They encourage people to require "sponsors" and "invitation letters" for tourist visas. Which is completely unnecessary.
