K2 Visa

[Kiwilicious 0]

Heya Good day from New Zealand . I would like to ask some questions pertaining to issuance of K2 visa. Hopefully , there are members here who have children and were issued K2s.

1. As soon as K1 visa is issued. Do you get the same date of issuance for K2 visa ?

2. Do your children get interviewed as well. My sons are 17 years and 13 years old.

3. When you enter the U.S. and I eventually marry within the few weeks, what happens to the status of my children who have K2 visas. I heard about conditional residency ? What does this exactly mean to them ?

4. Related to 3) . Does conditional residency mean that they can enter school as a local student or do they still need to establish physical residency for at least a year or so . We are looking to migrate to California.

5. Is there anything that you want to add that I need to be mindful with regards to issuance of K2 visa for my children ?

K1 visa questions

1. Can someone post some example of questions being asked at the embassy to obtain a K1 visa

Thanks in advance for your time and support.

Regards.

Welcome to the forum.

Check out the DoS Nonimmigrant K-1 visa FAQs for some information about K-2s:

Check with the interviewing consulate/embassy about interviews:

Here is some links about K-2 visas from GUIDES AOS section:

There is a pinned thread in the AOS from Family Based Visas with great K-2 info:

State College residency requirements vary from state-to-state, Google "California State colleges" for specific information. In the last mentioned thread, I posted a comment about our experience with Washington State college residency requirements. YMMV. Those links should give you a lot of information about the K-2 process, and should answer many of your questions. The important initial step is to be sure to list them, where indicated, on the I-129F petition. Then there will be attention to the K-2s at the consulate interview phase.

Good luck.
