Question about K2

[Cdnwmn 0]

I understand that the K2 visa must be obtained within a year after the parent's K1 has been obtained. After the K2 has been obtained, up to how many months after that can the child enter the U.S?

For example if the child received the K2 in the eleventh month.

I would think it would be the same if, the child had received the K-2 at the same time the parent did. My sons was valid for 6 months when it was issued.

The child may travel with (accompany) the K-1 parent/fiancé(e) or travel later (follow-to-join) within one year from the date of issuance of the K-1 visa to his/her parent.

My understanding is that the "child" must ENTER the US within 1 year of the original K-1 being issued.

My son "followed to join" and his K-2 visa expired the day before the issuance of my K-1, one year later. i.e. Date of K-1 was 12 July 02, expiration of son's K-2 was 11 July 03.

Hope this helps.
