How to apply for K2 visa

[Mboring653 0]

I have filed a K1 Visa application and have gotten my NOA 1 notice.  My fiance's child is listed on the K1 visa application.  When and how do I file for a K2 visa for her child?

Did you file for a K-1 visa or did the USC file an I-129F petition to start the process? It sounds like you are the USC ("her child")...as such, no K-1 visa application would have been filed yet.

 

After the I-129F is approved, she will file 2 DS-160s: 1 for her and 1 for her child. This is the visa application.

I filled out and submitted the i129f form in March.  I received the notification of NOA1a couple of weeks later.  

 

What I understood you to say that based on the I 129f form I submitted I would apply for both my fiance's and her child k2 visa at the same time.  Would the two visas be approved at the same time?

Right, so you haven't applied for a K-1 visa at this time...just a petition.

 

The I-129F covers the beneficiary (you fiancee) and child derivatives.

She would apply for herself and her child. The K-2 won't be issued until the K-1 is, but it's always possible that the K-1 is granted sooner for various reasons. Typically there are both issued very close (within days) together.
