New K1 visa application questions.

[Terribelle 8]

My fiance and I (Canadian) are about to start filing for a k1 visa ourselves, and we're unsure what forms will be required for my daughter to move with me as well. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I've looked around but can't seem to find it, it is a lot of information to sift through.

Any other advice for people just starting out would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

As a side note, we were encouraged by an immigration lawyer for me to just enter the US, get married and file paperwork to stay 90 days after the fact, which we know is illegal. Should I report this? If so, where?

For a k1, she is named on your i129f petition.   That is all.  When time comes for the Visa application,  then she becomes separate with her own application

Wow......!  And lawyers wonder why the profession is so maligned!

 

As @payxibka said, at this point of the petition itself, you just include her info on the I-129F.  How old is your daughter?  And do you have some sort of a custody arrangement with your ex?  That type of court paperwork will be required to bring her to live in the states I believe.

 

After approval of the petition, you will both need medicals, but that will be months down the road.

 

Good luck :-)

My daughter is 10, and my ex and I have shared custody of her for now, but he is willing to sign the documents for me to move with her.

Then you should be good to go for the K-2.

As long as dad signs off it should be straight forward
