Paperwork for children of fiancee

[mikeolga2012 0]

My finacee has two children, what requirements do we need for the K-1 Visa for them to come to the United States. Father lives outside of Kazakhstan and has no contact with children. Is there any special paperwork or permissions, or will the divorce decree and birth certificates be enough.

You would be applying for K2 visas for the kids that is filed along with the K1 for your fiancee. Assuming they are below 21 years old and not married. If you are just starting the process, hopefully they are no older than 19 as they need to be here before 21, and this process can take some time. Even though the father has no contact, it is important that you have something that gives your fiancee full custody of the children.

In addition to the above reply, contact the consulate and ask about preferred method of I-134 documentation for the children's K-2 application. There seems to be some variability from consulate to consulate.

Good luck.

with regards to the k2, is that just filling out the children's name on the I129,or are there other forms he should be filling out. also does anybody know if the Kazakhstan embassy require the fathers permission for the mother to take the children to America.

Thanks Jay

Will it take 2 years for the fiancee's children to obtain a K2 visa???/ I thought they received a visa with their parent and were able to travel together

When you file the 129 it asks about children.You put in their names and they can get their visa the same time as the parent. Usually they all go to the same interview. If they are older, say 17-18, it is possible they may have their own interview but K2 interviews are not nearly as intense as a K1.And yes they can all travel together unless you choose not to.

I did the k1 and the K2 for my fiancees children. They were issued visa the same time and traveled with her. They did not interview the kids but were in Vietnam maybe other consulates are different,
