K1 and bringing your child later

[E & J 2018 132]

My wife and her daughter arrived in March on the K1 & K2 visa. We have filed the AOS, timely. Now, her son has decided he would also like to come to the USA. He was mentioned on the initial I-129F application, but we have not done anything else for him, because initially he did not want to live in the US. 

 

What are the exact steps we will need to do to get him here? I  imagine we will file a DS-160, have his medical exams done, etc. 

 

Can anyone assist us or send me a link? I looked, but could not find what I was looking for..... Sorry, I imagine this has been asked many times before 😊

 If there is adequate time he can complete the FOLLOW TO JOIN for the K-2 at the embassy his visa must be issued within one year of the issued date of the K-1 visa.     The process is the same as for the K-1

 

If there is not adequate time, you will have to file the I-130 petition

Contact your interviewing consulate for specific requirements/instructions, and review the FAQs on this DOS link: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.
