My fiancée (now wife) and I are wanting to get her son over here permanently to live with us. The child is 9 has a birth Cert. and passport. My wife now has a 2 year green card, etc. She came to the USA on a K-1 visa.

Her son was listed on our paper work, I-485

I can not pin point exactly the process on VJ.

Can someone direct me in the right direction?

Thank you.

File the Follow-to-join K2 visa if the time frame is still within 1 year from K1 visa date of issue.

Otherwise, as step-parent, file I-130 for the step child.

Done with K1, AOS and ROC

Ok, it will be within 1 year. My wife's k-1 visa was issued in Dec.2015. Do you know if the Follow-to join K-2 is simpler than the I-130?

Yes and less time. You use the ds-160 to apply for a visa and have a medical done. He has an interview and can AOS once he arrives. It will be a lot quicker to get him to the USA.

Ok so when we are ready to begin the process ( within 1 year of my wife getting her k-1) we will use the ds-160.

Is there a K-2 forum?

Thank you
