Question on how to get dependent, unmarried child approved in the Fiance Petition

[FIGARU 0]

Please enlighten me. I have a child in the Philippines who was included in my approved I-129F petition. I indicated there that he would "follow-to-join". I got my visa last July 22, 2008 and left for the US in August 2008. I have recently received my Green Card and would like to process my child's papers so he can come join me.

I was led to believe in the following paragraph (page 4 of the K1/k2 Instructions), which i have downloaded from the USCIS website that a I-130 Petition would not be necessary as long as I get the k2 visa for my child before July 22, 2009:

"minor children who are identified and listed in the approved I-129F petition may follow-to-join their petitioned parent. However, such follow-to-join k-2 visas can only be issued within one year from the time the parent wsa issued the K1 visa. After (1) one year, they will no longer be able to derive immigration benefits fromt he I-129F petition and you and your spouse will have to file an immediate relative or second preference petition for them to qualify again for immigration benefits."

Anybody who was the same experience or knowledge about this matter, please do enlighten me on my next step. The school year in the Philippines has ended and I would like for my child to join me here before the school year in the US in August or September. Thanks in advance.

Contact the Manila consulate for exact procedure. The K-2 FTJ is should simply be the DS-156 et al... (Packet 3)

This is my question, too. Getting any info from the Kingston embassy is nearly impossible, but I will try. Just want to hear from somebody who has done it...

We are doing the same with our son for the same reason. Write to the consulate they will give you the instructions, then amke a visa interview date, the original K-1 beneficiary must be present and demonstrate you have been married and filed AOS. It is basically a repeat of the K-1 process.
