Hello,

Sorry really nervous, doing the final check over my I-129F packet and making sure everything is right. My Fiance has two daughters (12 and 19). Do I need to file the G-325A for them with our I-129F packet? Also, can he apply for a tourist visa to come and stay with me for a little bit after I file the I-129F, or do I need to get a confirmation from USCIS that they started working on our K1?

Thank you so much! Sorry if I am rambling, really really nervous and a little giddy :)

This is the part that I am a little unclear on. I mean yes they will be applying for Visas, but if I understand correctly they can only do that after we are approved for our K1 right? From what I've read all I saw was "Be sure to include the names of your fiancé(e)’s children on your Form I-129F petition." which I did, but there is no mention of having to file a G-325A in our I-129F packet. Thank you again!

If the children are applying for visas too, I think they can do it at the same time. But if they are applying then they need a G-325A form as well.

Looks like the G-325A have no processing fees associated with them, so it looks like all I need to pay is the $340 for the I-129F or do I need to file two I-129Fs (one for me and one for my Fiance)? Sorry for all the questions, I've been a bit of a nervous wreck and I think I've been over thinking things. Thank you all the wonderful people for all your answers!

Oh, I did not realize they can apply for their K-2 visas as a part of our I-129F packet. Are you sure? The only thing I saw was " Children of Fiancé(e)s

If your fiancé(e) has a child (under 21 and unmarried), a K-2 nonimmigrant visa may be available to him or her. Be sure to include the names of your fiancé(e)’s children on your Form I-129F petition."

You only need one I-129f petition. And as far as applying for the visas themselves, that actually happens AFTER this petition is approved and is sent to the embassy. It is there that you would apply for the K-1 visa and the K-2 visas, and I believe you can apply for them at the same time.

Thank you for clarifying :thumbs: I think I need to make myself some chamomile tea to relax :yes:

Last question I promise, once I send the packet off, can my fiance visit me, or do we have to wait to hear from USCIS?

I am so glad I found this forum, everyone is so amazingly nice and helpful!

Thank you!

Of course your fiance can visit you--they just need to apply for a tourist visa. HOWEVER...knowing that you are petitioning your fiance, it could be difficult to receive the tourist visa, not impossible just difficult. You should read this thread: Yes you can visit

Wow it has been a long long time, but we just got our NOA2 *does the Happy Dance* dancin5hr.gif

There is no A numbers for my Fiances daughters though... Do we get that later? Do they need that to do the medical checks and such, or do they first go to the embassy and then get their K-2s?

OMG something new to stress over!

Thank you everyone!!!
