Children of K1 beneficiary

[Darkmoonfaerie 19]

Hi All,

I've done a search and can't quite seem to find what I'm looking for so I apologize if it has been asked a million times already. My fiance and I are just starting to file for his K1 visa and we can't find what we need to do to file for his two boys (ages 4&6) to come with him. I'm just gathering the paperwork for the I-129F and G325A right now and have added the boys information where requested. Is this all that is needed until the filing of the K1/K2? Is there somewhere on the site with a flow chart for dependent children as well? I thought we had this all sorted and now I'm frazzled all over again.

Thanks!

Meg

SO they file for K1 after its approved, and they go for interview they file K2 at Embassy/Consulate?

Sorry I don't know about the k1 process.

No they file for an I-129F petition. Once it is approved and sent to the US embassy they file for a K1 and K2.

Ok so I-129F now then file K1 and K2s at the same time and everything just gets processed together? Everything seemed so straightforward till we added the kids to this mix LOL. His solicitor wanted us to get going on this before his next court date for his ex's visitation hearing(which is mid February) so we kind of got tossed into it a bit sooner than planned. We're VERY excited because we've been waiting for the solicitor's approval, we're just scrambling to get started now.

Yes, just one I-129F now, from the petitioner. Then later, the beneficiaries will apply for K1 and derrivative K2s.

make sure the children are listed on the I-129f where it asks to list ALL children

At his interview in London they will require documentation that he has sole custody of the children or a notarized type statement signed by their mother that she grants permission for them to leave the UK. Her statement can be witnessed/signed by a solicitor.

That's it. Then on the interview forms you'll list which are To Join or To Follow.
