K2 Approved

[mik2012 17]

The K2 for my fiancee daughter was approved. The American doing the interview stated he was concerned that the other two daughters were being left. He also stated that she only had eight months to apply for them after she arrives here. I thought she would have 1 year from date of issue of k1.

Secondly she said they only asked her her name, age and if she met me in person. Other than that they said congratulations and your passport and visa should arrive in a few days.

One other question. How long do I have to adjust status of the k2's after they arrive here if I do not do it at the time of the fiancee. I ask this because money will be very tight if I change there status before bringing the other two daughters here.

I know it would be cheaper to change the youngest status with mom but I will need an additional 5000.00 to get her other two daughters here.

Any feed back would be helpful.

Congrats......there is no time limit for AOS, for anyone. They can not legally work and won't be able to return to the US if they leave......AND.....they can not obtain a SSN until they have their GC (only the K-1 can obtain their SSN prior to the GC).

Take a look at the DoS Nonimmigrant K-1 Fiance(e) Visa FAQs for guidance on the K-2 "follow-dates."

The K-2 AOS process, as with the K-1, should start as soon as possible, There may be issues depending on the age of the K-2 adjustee. The Family-based AOS forum has a great sticky-thread about K-2 AOS. Additionally, check out the K-2 AOS guide in the Guides section, for more information:

Good luck.

Thank you for the replies. I have decided to take a hit on my 401K and I will bring the other two here. I guess I can adjust the oldest and youngest first with mom, then I can adjust the other 2 when I get the funds to do so. They are 12 and 14. thank you again for the info.

Now everyone should be happy no one will be left behind.
