NOA2 approved, wheres the childrens requiremetns

[Loida and Ed 11]

Hello Everyon

We recieved our NOA2 approval !!!! Im still waiting on the paperwork to reach my home and I'd like to start other paperwork now. The children were included in the original I-129F application (part B, item 13). Now, Im not sure which flow i need to follow for ensuring that her childrens paperwork is the right paprtwork to use and fill out.

is there a specific link anyone can reference for me ? and

is the K2 proocess intended to be for the children or am i mistaken..

Many Thanks in advance...

You didn't petition for the children. You petitioned for their mother. The approved petition makes her children eligible to apply for derivative visas. The reason the consulate usually wants to see the children listed on the petition is because they want proof that the petitioner is aware that the children exist, and acknowledges by this that they know the children will be eligible to apply for derivative visas.

The children submit their visa applications at the same time your fiancee submits hers. There should be instructions in packet 3 for derivatives. The consular process for K2's is usually the same as for K1's, but the forms and documents required are usually a little different.

Here's a link to the packet 3 instructions for K1/K2 for Manila:

There is some information about the K-2 derivative visa for children available from forum threads. Google forum search can be your friend. You are on the right track by previously including them in your approved K-1 petition. The DoS Nonimmigrant K-1 visa FAQs provides some information. Namely, visa applications/forms/medical exam/fees need to be completed/paid for the children as for the K-1 beneficiary. Check the site's embassy info page and the Phil regional forum for any specific information.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Hiii Thank you also .... I "finally" saw it in writing on the wall here that the children are "K2" visas... seriously,,, its been hard to find anyplace that said it in black and white... This is a huge relief to me knowing i follow the k2 path for the children, exception some minor differences...

I do think i need to supply a I-130 for each person too ...

I-130 ? Are you thinking about I-134, Affidavit of Support? Check with your interviewing consulate for their specific requirements. For Guangzhou, I had to supply a signed original I-134 for each, K1 and K2, but only one set of supporting documents (in duplicate).

YMMV.

Thanks... yes the I-134.... Im just scrambling now to make sure I have the right documentation to send. Im trying to get it all done here ( thank you PD Fill PDF Editor !!! , my best $20 investment ever) so it can all be 100% correct for each child (3) and for Loida :)

Do the children need to have interviews also ?

The K1 or K2 nonimmigrant visa is US$240 ... So for myself thats 240 x 4 ( fiancee and 3 children) = $960 total for visa application fees ?

Thanks...

Do the children need to have interviews also ? Many of your current questions, including this one, are embassy-specific. Check with your interviewing embassy and/or regional forums for more information.

The K1 or K2 nonimmigrant visa is US$240 ... So for myself thats 240 x 4 ( fiancee and 3 children) = $960 total for visa application fees ? Correct and the other fees paid during the consulate/embassy interview phase. Review the previously mentioned DoS FAQs for specifics.

Thanks...
