So the children were not listed at all on the 129 petition? 
 

Are you from the Philippines as your profile states?

 

Is the father listed on the children’s birth certificate? 
 

Do the children have their fathers name or your name?

 

Were the children birth certificate registered at the time or late registration (especially after marriage or getting to know your current husband)? 
 

Reason I ask is all of the above can complicate adding children now - if you are from Philippines (or other country where this is common) they may think you are now trying to pass other children off as your own. If they were late registered they may think the above as well. If the children’s father is listed on the birth certificate (especially if the children have the fathers name) the embassy may believe the children were therefore legitimate and you had to have been married to the father (if you were and it was annulled then all good but if not and you listed in your visa application you were single could cause issues)

 

All in all most things can be sorted but may take time - DNA to prove your relationship to children, fixing any issues with birth certificates - that sort of things.

 

Follow to join of a K1 visa can only happen within a year of the visa issuing otherwise the child has to be petitioned separately. Form is I-130 - it would be quicker for your husband to petition if you married before the children were 18.
 

Did your husband know about the children when he petitioned you? 
 

Petitioning three children is going to take a higher finance level shown than your husband showed for you - do you earn much more than him?

K2 is faster if still within one year of your k1 Visa being issued,  otherwise,  a separate i130 petitions for each child as long as the stepparent relationship was created before the child turned 18.

Ok even if the children weren’t coming they should have been listed on your petition and visa application (You just check the box to say they aren’t coming). This will cause some problems. Because a bunch of people have done this by trying to bring children who weren’t theirs later ( typically niece  or nephew) saying whoops I forgot to list them, some even think a dna test won’t find it if they are so closely related. 

 

As previous post says the form is I-130 ( this will take two years if you petition or one if your husband petition if  you married before the children were 18)

 

In the Philippines (seen on many other posts) the child doesn’t get last name of the father unless they are legitimate (you were married) so if they have the last name and x is on the birth certificate does their birth certificate say you were married or imply you were even if you weren’t - if so this is a problem.

 

 I have asked this to be moved to the Philippines section as they have loads of experience advising for these forgotten children cases.

Yep but as the children weren’t listed at all on petition and the birth certificate has the fathers name (can be an issue in the Philippines depending on what it says exactly) and she has adjusted status I thought the k2 was a long shot

[arken 4,197]

So in i129F where it asks “Do you have any children under 18 years of age?”, you selected “NO”?

But will it come to the above? Listed - $37,713 or more as the amount needed increases each year and you may interview after the increase

Hope for the best but plan for the worst. If she is aware of all the potential issues then she won’t be blindsided if they do happen. Potentially have to fix birth certificate and do dna - could it be possible to do K2 yes but if that is denied then you have to start from the start delaying their visa further. Is up to OP but she should be aware of the potential issues.

Just changing their name won’t fix it you might have to fix their birth certificate itself. 
 

As I have said have asked for this to be moved to the Philippines section as they have way more knowledge than myself on this.
