Contact the embassy and inform them that you would like to exercise your K-2 follow-to-join benefits for your son. They will direct you on the next steps to take. You have one year from the date of issuance of your K-1 to use follow-to-join.

My immigration specialist told us if we don't do the K2 at the same time as the K1, it can take up to 8 years to get the child here!!!! Please keep us posted on this topic and best of luck to you!

You need a permition from the other father or mother.

It is immigrant permit that you get at the immigration dominican office.

All depend if your kid turn to 18 soon

But if your kid doesnt turn 18 soon you can do k2 after, you have one year to do it.

he's only 9 but i wonder :

will i need to have full custody or shared custody will be enough ?

i have already created his profile on https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/and im ready to summit it , that website says the fee will be 265 $ but besides that it doesnt tell me what else i have to pay or what other documents besides filling form ds-260 i will need !!

In our case, my wife got a notarized letter from her son's biological father stating that it was okay for the son to immigration to the US. She submitted it with her paperwork at the consulate document intake/interview phase of the K1 visa process.

It is unlikely that the US government will want to get involved in an international child custody battle, as a consequence they may just cancel the K2 visa for the child.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

A little update :

right now i have filled out the ds-160 and i have his profile ready on the visa appointment website ready and a customer service agent told me that the website will tell me how much i have to pay a banco popular and that it will also give me an a form to fill out to pay that ...

i really wish there was a guide or checklist you could follow so you don't miss any steps on this process

[jack1564 2]

update : so far this is all i got

a valid passport

a completed Form DS-160 filled

official birth certificate

I-134 (Affidavit of Support)

i have filled out his profile on https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/and im on the step where they give me the option to pay banco popular 265 $ but whats come after that ?

what other documents do i need to take with me at the embassy ?

what am i missing ?

Hi Jack 1564 i believe all you need is the package you got from the medical center birth certificate passport and passport/visa pictures i am in Jamaica and even though my daughter and i did the interview together that was all they ask for concerning her.... I hope you will find this helpful..

[annstew 18]

Oh i forgot the completed DS160 form and confirmation page they didn't take or ask for anything else and they only asked her , her age btw she is 15
