Hi. I had the same problem finding information. Read this thread:

I guess we just wait for now.

If the K1 petition is approved then the K1 applicant will be eligible to apply for a visa. A child of the K1 applicant will automatically become eligible to also apply for a visa. A K2 is a "derivative" visa, meaning eligibility is "derived" from the K1's eligibility.

The child applies for a K2 visa using basically the same process as the K1. Some of the forms may not be the same. For example, K1's might have to submit a DS-156K, but the K2 wouldn't need to submit this form. The K2 will need to have a medical, pay the visa fees, and may also need to attend the interview, depending on the age of the K2. You'll usually get instructions from the consulate about what forms and documents will be required for the K2.

In addition to the visa forms and fees, you'll also need to provide evidence proving the parental relationship between the K1 and K2. At some consulates this is as simple as the child's birth certificate listing the K1 as one of the parents. In countries where a birth certificate can be obtained by nefarious methods (like paying off a government official) you'll need substantially more evidence, like photos of the parent and child at different stages of the child's life, school or church records, or any other documents that only a parent would have.

If the child is under 18 at the time of the interview then you'll probably also need a quit claim from the non-immigrating parent giving permission for the child to permanently immigrate to the United States. In some countries the custodial parent has absolute physical and legal custody, and no separate quit claim will be required. Again, you'll usually get instructions from the consulate about their requirements.

By the way, the main reason it's important to list all children of the K1 on the I-129F is so that the consulate knows that the petitioner is aware of the beneficiary's children, and also aware they will derive eligibility to apply for a visa when the petition is approved. If you don't list the children on the I-129F then the consulate might presume the beneficiary is trying to pull a fast one on the petitioner, and the petitioner might not know the beneficiary has kids who will be eligible for a visa.

It is a link to the American consulate in Santo Domingo. It explains the process and you can also find links to the forms found in the packet which will be sent to your fiance in the DR.
