Out of curiosity, for the more experienced VJers, are there any repercussions for stating there are no children in the original 129F?

 

Just find it a bit strange, we emphasize the need to be accurate/truthful with our petitions. I personally re-checked mine several times before I submitted our petition. This seems to be a major omission.

~~Moved to the PI forum, from K1 P&P - The topic of custody and what is needed is country specific. Also the speed needed to process a Follow to Join would depend on how fast Manila works.~~

Well at that time I don’t have the right to say yes to my husband what he needs to do.because he knows his gonna bring my kids here so he wants to include them but he just confused what is the best. Thats why he stick to say NO

I'm not questioning his confusion nor sincerity, but whether there are any repercussions of filing an 129F with a significant omission such as if the beneficiary has any children?

The question about if you have any children is about if you have or not, simple. It is not about whether you want to bring your kids with you. So “YES” was the correct.

 

What is done is done, now pursue i130 and be ready to have a good response in case USCIS or embassy catches that mistake and asks about it. Just don’t make such mistakes moving forward.

None.  It's a mistake, not any intention to hide anything.  Furthermore, it's not material.

You are now married to your US petitioner?

You have filed your AOS and received your 2-year conditional Green Card?

My story my fiancé file a k1 visa to bring me in united state,but I have a 3 kids long story short we approved so right now I’m here in united state. And we got married my question my fiancé as now my husband when he petition me he did not include my child for k2 because of the income. So now I’m here and starting to work is that possible to apply for k2 visa for my 3kids. There in minor... what is the form to apply I don’t know if there gonna see my file before because we never put any names or child at that time please help me... thank you 

 

First I will address the children and custody;  Being you never married the father YOU have sole custody of the children, you need NOTHING from the father to bring your children to the USA.

 

The children should have been listed on the I-129F whether they were applying for visas or not.  At this time that is a moot topic being it is water under the bridge.

 

You timeline is blank so I have to ask - How long has it been since you were issued YOUR visa?    It may be possible to complete the K-2 .. but that is a BIG "may" being the children were not listed on the I-129F.

 

So let's go with the I-130 petition approach.  To start the process your husband should file an I-130 petition for EACH child.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/i-130

 

 

Do you have copies of each of their birth certificates, no you do not need these to file the I-130 petition, I would suggest your review each BC to make sure there are no TYPOS in their names or yours is the reason I ask.

I came here feb 19 2019 so is better for k2 right 

With this info I would forget about the I-130 for now.

 

I really think you can move forward with the K-2 FOLLOW TO JOIN ... 

 

It has not been a year since your visa was issued.   I would for sure contact the embassy about completing the K-2 FOLLOW TO JOIN (much cheaper and quicker if you can complete this).   Explains your "oops" regarding not listing the children ... mistakes happen.   You would not be the first that didn't realize you needed to list the children.

You really think that OP who got her K-1 on January 8, 2019, has time to contact the US Embassy to reopen the case to add children who were never declared on the I-129f, schedule interviews, and have K-2 visas issued by Jan 8, 2020?  With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year interrupting normal business?

Don't know, but without trying one will never know ... they are out nothing to check into this and have everything to gain.     And yes .. it can be done 

 

What is your philosophy?  Accept defeat before you try?    

 

They are not the first omit listing a child on the I-129F.
