My friend wanna ask what is the waiting period for K2 visa? How it works...

Is the child getting his/visa at the same time as the parent? If so, there is no waiting period. But if the parent is getting their visa first, then the child has 12 months to go to the embassy to get their K2 visa.

Speaking from personal experience...

My husband and I moved back to the U.S. after his K-1 was approved. After 10 months we petitioned to get my 2 stepkids over. It was surprisingly quick. Since the kids were listed in my husband's petition, we didn't have to deal with USCIS, we talked directly to the embassy. We got their visa in 6 weeks (we still had paperwork, doc visit, interview etc). Note that if you do not do this within 12 months of the K-1 being awarded, the kids have to wait in line with all other family member type petitions and could take years.

Good luck

Jessica

Referring to your K-2 stepchildren, was the AOS process the same as your wife's (K-1)? How long did it take them to receive their green cards? How long before the stepchildren were eligible to travel? I included my wife's (K-1) son on the original I-129F application and we would like to have him join us soon, before the one year expires. My wife is concerned that he will not be able to return to visit his father in Mexico for three months while we go through the AOS process.
