Hello,

 

My fiance and 2 year old son are approved and have K1 visa in hand. She is thinking of coming for a month without him, leaving him with her mother, so she can adjust. I know that the K2 visa is good for a year but when will she be able to travel back to Colombia to get him and return to the US. Obviously I assume we have to marry before she could travel to Colombia and come back with him but can she travel before getting the green card if only to go and get her son? 

 

thank you

The K2 is issued right? If so the K2 does not have a year to use it. It expires 6 months from the medical. Check the date on the visa. 

 

She will not have enough time to get AP before his visa is expired. Better to bring him at the same time.

It could be as long as 8 months after filing the I-131 before she can leave the US without abandoning her adjustment of status.
