K-2 Question

[brightfuture78 118]

So, I sent off the I-129F package a couple weeks ago and received the confirmation email last week, stating that it's been forwarded to the appropriate Service Center. I listed my fiance as the K-1 beneficiary and also listed her 1 year old child as a K-2.

It just now occurred to me that I may have needed to double the application fee amount since I'm actually petitioning for 2 immigrant visas (K-1 & K-2), but I only sent the required fee for the K-1 application. Am I correct in thinking that I should have doubled the application fee?

If so, I'm assuming the Service Center will take note of it and simply request me to send additional payment?

Thanks in advance for clarification.

Chances are they will return your entire application with a letter explaining the corrective action you'll need to take and to return your application package.

For the I-129F you send just 1 fee. Later when you have your embassy interview, and apply for a K-1 and K-2 visa, you will have separate fees for each.

There is no such listing but yes her name will be as beneficiary and the child's name goes in the children section. You don't declare which child is to receive a K-2 until later when she fills out the online DS-160 or 260 form.

Wrong, only the one filing fee.

Nope, only the one fee.

They would if you had sent too little but you didn't.

Ok, so the consensus is that an additional application fee isn't required when listing a K-2 on the I-129F. Good; it makes sense. It's not like listing a K-2 requires them to do much more work but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks to everyone for replying so promptly.

Nope. Just the $340. No additional fee needs for the petition. Just listing the child is all that is needed for the I-129F.

Absolutely just one fee. You're fine.
