K2 Visa Process for my Step Daughter

[Esmeralda715 8]

I have a few unanswered questions, so anyone with any input please advise.

What steps do we have to take to get an approved K2 visa for my step daughter ?

Once her K2 visa is approved and she's ready to come, can she do POE with anyone or would we have to go and get her?

If we bring her before his AOS would I have to file for her AOS as well once she's here or will she automatically fall under her father’s category??

Thanks!!

To my knowledge if she is a minor she needs to be accompany by someone, You can check with the airline to see how much is the charge to fly in with a flight attend. As for the other questions I NOT to familiar with K-visa so I wouldn't know how to answer them.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

Steps:

First contact the embassy in DR and let them know that you are ready to bring your step daughter. You will need to send them a letter stating this and a copy of marriage certificate. They will then give you an appointment date that will tell you the process to follow. such as medical . Follow guides at the website for the US embassy in DR.

If she is traveling whether alone or with her father, she will need authorization from her mother to leave the country. If she is traveling alone, then she will need both authorization from mom and dad to leave the country. If you do AOS before she is here, I think you will have to pay more money for her.

Thanks Mrs.Sanchez,

We're planning on having her fly here with my sister later this year. And we just wanted to be sure that she didn't have to do POE with either me or her father.

Thanks

Ana y Ray,

Here father is already here with me and he won't be able to get her since we haven't started his AOS yet. So my sister will need a notarized letter from both parents giving permission for my step daughter to fly here with her is that correct?? And can my step daughter get her medical done with the same letter that was originally sent to my Soon To Be Husband when he had to go or will the embassy send her another letter?

Thanks

From what I've read on USCIS and VJ, you need to do AOS for each one of them...someone correct me if I'm wrong, but even if she would have came with him you still need to do AOS for her as well. This is what I think I have to do for my step daughter

[Esmeralda715 8]

Ok so I guess it's ok to bring her now even though we haven't filed for my soon to be husbands AOS yet?? Is that correct??

And as far as the affidavit of support when does that come in for the K2 visa's?? Is that while they are at the interview or after they are here for the AOS for the K2 as it is for the K1?

Give or take about how much will the whole K2 Visa process cost us excluding her flight??

If you contact the embassy they will send her an appointment letter for herself. After you contact the embassy you can follow up with NVC and they will know the interview date first than embassy. Go to the the DR website is very informative. Regarding her leaving the country with sister-in-law, yes she will need permission and not just notorized. Go to this website www.migracion.gov.do , it gives you the info regarding the steps to take for child to leave country. We are having my step son travel alone. Oh your husband will need to go to Consulado Dominicano here to send the paperwork authorizing child to leave country. Ask someone there to fax you or email you a scan copy of child's birth certificate and also you have to have photos of her. They told us any photos. If they can also email them to you so in case you cant print them out, the embassy accepts that you send it to them by email.

Good luck

p.s you don't need the affidavit of support until AOS.

cost: is hard to say, depending on her age is the medical cost.

Then you have to pay $160 at banco popular, $80 at embassy interview

You have to pay about $5,000 pesos for the travel permiso from mom. maybe less if she does the run around herself instead of using a lawyer.

Your husband has to pay about $85 for the travel permiso if done same day and $55 if a week or two. Besides the amount you have to spend to send the permiso to DR.

Tu inbox seems to be full:

So explicame bien cuando tengas tiempo en un mensaje privado lo del permiso to travel por q yo pense q it could just be a letter typed up from both parents stating that she will be traveling with my sister since she is only 9 yrs old.

Y en esta parte me confundiste completamente: You have to pay about $5,000 pesos for the travel permiso from mom. maybe less if she does the run around herself instead of using a lawyer.

Your husband has to pay about $85 for the travel permiso if done same day and $55 if a week or two.

Sorry to be such a bug-a-boo pero quiero empesar con esto lo mas pronto posible pero quiero tener todo listo..

Thanks

Hey Unica,

Adding to what Ana said, I contacted USCIS today and was told that because my step daughter will be coming at the same time with my fiance (the following applies even if she follows to join), we have to file a separate I-485(AOS) for her, but since we're sending it together, then the fee for AOS is $635.00 because she is under the age of 14 and for my fiance $1070.00. This fee includes the I-765 employment authorization, and I-131 advance parole (permission to travel) if you send the forms all together and not separate.

[Esmeralda715 8]

Ok great thanks Sanchez.

That letter is needed also with the permission to travel. The letter is not enough to allow the minor to leave the country. For example, with that typed up letter, you send the permission to travel form to the office of immigration in santo domingo.

http://www.migracion.gov.do

then you will go under servicios, then permiso para menores. There is also a number you can contact to find out how to go about it and how to send it. Im also new to this and I told my fiance this but he said that I was giving him wrong information in regards to this permission, but his lawyer told him that is true. The form that you will find on this website is needed for the child to leave Santo Domingo alone. Because she's not traveling with either parent, so they both have to consent her leaving Santo Domingo. And they need to both sign this form and fill it out...I think this is why your fiance needs to contact the Dominican Rep Embassy in NY.. correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I'm understading.

PS. If you send me your email address I can send you the form.
