Children to follow

[Esmeralda715 8]

Hi everybody!!

My question is once his AOS is complete and approved how do we go about bringing his kids, what are the requierements?? We are trying to get them here by next spring since he has a year to bring them from the date of the interview so we won't have to repay any unnecessary fees.

Any feed back or advice will be great thanks!!

*** Moving from Waiver to K1 forum as kids can get K2 ***

If you get them within a year of his visa being issues, they can get K2 follow-to-join visas.

Thanks Queen Penguin,

But what i want to know is to i have to fill any other forms out or do i just send her to get her medical and schedule her interview or am i wrong?? And can i send for her before his AOS is approved??

Hi la unica, the process is way more simple than they try to tell you. we just did it. you can apply for them before his adjustment of status, really anytime after you have a marriage certificate. you call the embassy and request an interview (at this time they may tell you lots of stuff, they are contract employees and have NO idea what they are talking about.) you will quickly receive a date ,the interview is usually 2 mths or so from when you request the date. children have to get the medical including a tb test which requires them to go to the medical twice i think they check the test 3 days later, so plan for 2 trips to medical. we DID NOT attend our interview we sent his daughter and her mother with a copy of his passport, our i294 approval , and most important a copy of our marriage certificate. if we can help more just ask. good luck

I may have got the number wrong but its the paper they send saying your k1 is approved. And yes we sent the copies to the person going to the interview with his daughter by email.

Ok great Carol..

Thanks Carol for all ur help..I'll inbox u with any other questions as we move forward with the K2 Visa case.

Oh more more thing once the childs visa is approved and she's ready to come, can she do POE with anyone or would we have to go and get her?

The kids can travel by themselves if old enough, or anyone who is allowed to travel (ie already has a tourist visa or is a greencard holder etc).

Ok so if we bring his daughter before his AOS would I have to file for her AOS as well once she's here??
