New member, so many questions!

Hello all! I am new here so am currently just reading up the bajillion topics. My partner and I are starting to get the ball rolling on getting me over to the States. I'm starting to collate information together for the long road ahead, and I am looking forward to chatting with you all on here... and getting my timeline started!!

Does anyone already have children with their fiancé/fiancée? My initial question is in relation to our daughter, who is 4 months old. She is my partner's daughter so technically could have dual citizenship, although he was not able to be present at the birth or birth registration and, as I currently live in Jersey (for work purposes), he was not able to be put on the birth certificate (in the UK partners not present can prepare an affidavit to confirm they are the parent but Jersey is extremely behind...). We should hopefully have this rectified in the Summer, as he will be coming to UK to stay with me at my fathers and if we can afford the flights to the Channel Islands, we will have him added to the birth certificate. Although he is not officially listed as her father at present, she does have his surname.

I know on the I-129F she will be listed under the section for 'alien children' of fiancée'. And in our application documents it will become apparent that she is technically further 'evidence' that supports our relationship hahah... but excuse me if this is obvious and I have missed the answers online... am I okay to bring her to any interviews (childcare an issue)? Will she be required to have the medical/x-ray also? (Thankfully her immunisations are well documented and recorded) and will the visa fee be in duplicate, ie, one full charge for me, and one full charge for her visa into her British passport... if we do not follow up the dual citizenship route for her?

So many questions!

Apologies in advance if this has been posted in the wrong forum.

I will move your post over to the K1 forum where more people going through the same process will see it and hopefully be able to help.

If the child has a claim top US citizenship, then that needs to be resolved first... If so, then a US passport will be issued for the child, and no visa will be required. If citizenship is not able to be conveyed, then a full set of duplicate visa application (including fees) will be required.
