A little advice needed please about k1 k2 visas

[Pegasus75 0]

Hello to all I am trying to get together everything I need to be completed for the k1 visa so as it will be all complete and ready to file when needed, I am in the uk my partner american ... I have two children that will obviously be coming with me but I am a little unsure as to what papers I need to file for them can't see the information anywhere I know they each have to have a visa of there own and have to be included on my I-129f but all else bar the evidence is a blur. If anyone has any advice for me would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou in advance.

Children are listed on the petition so only one I-129F. When you get to the visa application in London, each applies with an I-160, pays a visa fee, has a medical exam, and provides relevant documents like birth certificate. Over age 16 need their own police certificate. Under age 14 do not have to go in person for the interview.

Here's the London part for a K1 in detail. Just know each getting a visa does the same things http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

Unless you have sole custody of the kids, London will want to know the father is aware they are immigrating to the US and grants his approval/permission. Normally this is accomplished by having him sign a letter in front of a solicitor who also signs as witness. In the US it would be a notary, but that isn't something they have in the UK so a solicitor is used.

It's real easy. You list ALL your children on the G325 form (regardless of age or immigration intent).

Then when you fill out the online D-160 form prior to the interview, you will list whomever you want to bring with or follow to join within a year later.

Each will need their own medical and visa payment fee, those coming with you will go to your interview and any to follow later will have their own interview scheduled by you prior to their travel date.

Just to qualify this, they must also have their own DS-160 completed.

I don't think so, I believe you will list them on your DS-160.

It's a new form that replaces a few old ones that the beneficiary had to complete. On those old forms you merely listed the children intending to immigrate on the old DS-156K form.

Go tot he USCIS website and look over the new 160 form.....it's not needed until prior to the interview so you have many months to investigate.

Each does an application. Prior to the form changes, each did a separate visa application as well.

From the London website:

Instructions for Immigrant Visa (K) Applicants Applying for a Visa in London

The Immigrant Visa Unit at this Embassy is processing your application for a visa. While no assurance can be given regarding the appointment date of your visa interview, you should now prepare for that appointment and take the following three steps.

Step One

Complete the Form DS-160 for each family member applying for a visa and print the confirmation sheet as it will be required on the day of the interview. If a question does not apply to you, please mark it with a N/A. Note: The failure to complete the form promptly will delay the processing of your application.
