Myself and my two sons are derivative beneficiries of an FB3 category. We will be interviewed in US Embassy Islamabad on 2nd March 2010. God willing if we are approved and granted visa, do we all have to travel together along with principal applicant (my wife).

I have some issues need to be settled before I leave. Is this possible that after getting visa my wife and two children can proceed to USA and I can travel at a later date?

Every visa issued has 6 months validity period to be used. You can get the visa and use it within six months. Nowhere is it required that you all have to travel together.

Thank you dear milimelo. You know why I am confused about this... Derivative applicants have two options 1) to accompany principal. 2) follow to join.

So if there is no restriction of travelling with principal applicant, why there is an option to opt for follow to join.

Any one in the forum from the same situation would better explain the situation. Anyway, thank you very much.
