K2 Visa Procedures for US Consulate

[David & Ellin 0]

Hello, According to the NVC, our petition was sent to Manila on 9-21-2009. My fiancee has two children we want to accompany her to the US. They are on my petition. I have not found a specific guide on how this works. What i have learned, is that the children need to submit a DS-156 and DS-157 each, have the medical exam, birth certificates and passports.

Is there other documents or anything else needed???

I would be grateful for any help here. Thanks David

Pay the $131 each and get the DS 157 from BDO they need 2 copies each. Also separate DS 156s [2 copies each]. Fiancee has to fill out the DS 157 also.[1 copy]

They apply for a visa just as your fiancee does, pay the fees, have the medical and provide the same documents, translated if needed. An I-134 must be provided for each and they count in your family size for finanical requirements. If you have no other dependents, your family size will be FOUR. They must have a passport or be listed in their mother's passport (country specific)

If they are over age 16 they need police certificates.

You need a notarized letter from the father for each child granting permission for the mother to relocate PERMANENTLY to the UNITED STATES, the letter must speicify the permission is "permanent" and it is for the "United States". You also need a copy of the father's passport photo and signature page OR court order of sole custody with transport authority OR the death certificate of the father.

after arrival, each child will adjust status, just as the mother and pay the fee $1010 each person or $600 for children under age 14 IF they file at the same time with the mother.You will have to provide an I-864 for each.

Think of this as THREE fiancee visas as bascially that is what this is.

Children may or may not have to attend the interview, Kiev allowed children under age 14 not to attend if they so chose, anyone over 14 had to attend. Manilla may be different.
