APPLY K1 AND K2 VISA AT THE SAME TIME BUT LIVING IN DIFFERENT COUNTRY

[lovelypinay_0513 0]

Hi,

I am a Filipina currently working in Cayman Islands. I already have an approved I29f. My fiancé would like to apply k2 visa for my 8 year old daughter, but she is currently in the Philippines. Our plan is to apply her k2 visa at the same time with my k1 visa. If the visa will be approved, I want to go home first in Philippines to pick her up and enter in the states at the same time. What will be the process if we want to apply for k2 visa considering my daughter live in Philippines? Is she going to have a separate interview in the Philippines? Is she going to have a medical in St. Lukes? If yes, which consulate, they will forward the medical result considering I will be interviewed in Jamaica, which is the nearest US Embassy in Cayman Islands.

Thank you and God Bless

If you process your visa application in the Cayman Islands you will have to follow that procedure (in Jamaica ). You daughter will have to follow the procedure for the U.S. embassy in Manila. If you travel back to the Philippines after receiving your visa (hopefully before entering the USA so there are no issues at POE later), you will have to complete CFO also, as will your daughter (she only needs to be registered and get the sticker), before exiting the Philippines.

One thing I am not sure of is how that will work for your daughter, being the petition file will be in Jamaica... that could cause lots of issues.

There is a link to the K1/K2 process for Manila in my link below.

The more I think on it the more I see problems. Would it be possible for you to do your visa application in Manila? Getting the file transferred may take some time, but I think it will have to be transferred to complete your daughters application anyway. Just thinking out loud.

Thank you, Hank. Yes, it is quite complicated because she is in Philippines. I am so confused. Yes, I am going through London route to go home to pick up my daughter.

I am not sure if ifs better if I should apply K2 "to follow" but I don't know how complicated to leave states to pick her up after entering there. Indeed a lot of help. :-)

Hi, were you able to bring your daughter in the states? How much time did the file transfer from Jamaica to Philippines for the K2 visa of your daughter?
