Hello,

One quick question my friend wants to bring his fiancee to the US (K1) he has a child with her. Should he add his son to the k1 application and if so should he include birth certificate?

thank you for your time in reading this,

The child would be a USC and not need a visa. Have they filed for a CRBA to get the child a US passport?

He needs to file for CRBA to get the child a US passport, as US citizens cannot get visas to enter the USA. The K1 for the fiance will not be approved until that is done.

Consequently, the child will not need a visa, but will need to be counted in the household for affadavit of support purposes.

My friend actually became a US citizen recently after his son was born is this still possible?

The child is not a US citizen since he did not have a US citizen parent at birth.

The child will need a K-2 visa to enter the US.

Once the child AOS and gets LPR status (a green card), then a child under age 18 would automatically become a US citizen under the Child Citizenship Act.

hello,

My friend became a naturalized citizen he wants to bring his fiancee and their child to the USA. Can the child be included in the k1 application or does the child need to file another kind of form? (child was born before my friend became a naturalized citizen)

The child will need a K2 visa
