K-2 interview report (Costa Rica)

[Eric-Pris 1,602]

My wife came to the US in May on a K-1 and we got married shortly thereafter. Now, we came back to Costa Rica to pick up her two little girls (3 and 5).

The K-2 interview was different than the K-1 interview for us. We were only asked 3 questions:

1. Have we settled in well in the US?

2. Are we all set to bring the girls home?

3. Do the girls have any health problems?

Then he said "everything looks good" and approved us. He asked us to sit and we'd be called up to tell us when to come pick up the passports.

The whole interview lasted about 8 minutes, with most of the time him reviewing the paperwork. We arrived 11:55am and left at 1:30pm. We waited about an hour after getting our number. Then once we turned in all the paperwork to the screener, we were called up to the window within 15-20 minutes. There were people waiting who came before us, but they called us up fast, probably because we had the kids with us. They know kids get impatient fast and start making noise, so they wanted to get rid of us. We're going home on Thursday.

Thanks.

My wife got her K-1 visa in April and came to the US in May alone. We decided to leave her girls with her parents until we were ready to pick them up, so we came a couple of weeks ago and got the medicals done and packet III forms completed.

The k-1 and k-2 process is virtually the same once the petition gets to the embassy. You can do the fiancee and kids at the same time or you can choose to have the kids "follow to join" you at a later time (within 1 year).

Whether you decide to do them at the same time or follow to join, they need to fulfill the same requirements and pay the same visa fee ($131 each person). The only difference is that kids (under 14 I think) do not need a chest x-ray, bloodwork, or HIV test. They just need a medical exam.
