A U.S. citizen (woman) met a Colombian man and he came to the U.S. on a K-1 visa. They got married in the U.S. He has two small kids......10 and 8 I think. They are ready to file the "Adjustment of Status" paper work. They went to the Social Security office and filed for his social security number and are awaiting his card now. The office told them the kids do not need a social security number because they are K-2's. I assume they meant for the visa stuff.

Question......He's a K-1 and the kids are K-2's. Is he the only one that needs a social security number or do the kids need one on the "AOS" form also?

Thanks,

Yes, she needs it for the interview.

My fiance is from Colombia. Like you, my income was WAY above the guidelines and no, I did not include any bank statements. I just included my last 3 years tax returns, letter from my employer and about 2 or 3 months worth of paystubs (I think). I was over it by about 40 or 50 grand I think.

tweety,

I don't know if it helps but....right after we got married I went to the local office and got 4 or 5 certified copies, just in case something came up when I need them. I think they only cost about $2.00 or so a piece...at least they do in Indiana. Usually gov. people like those because the original i would think is easier to forge. Perhaps a copy of the original and a certified copy would be the best way to go.

I will do an update when we get back from Colombia in Jan.

Thanks for the info. It's appreciated.

My wife is from Colombia. She came here on a K1 visa this Feb. We were married here in the U.S. in April and now we are going back to Colombia to visit her family. Her passport is in her maiden name, but her greencard and her U.S. state ID is in her married name.

Question.....what last name should she use on her plane tickets??? The one on her passport (maiden name) or on her green card (married name).?

Thanks

Sean

I believe the kids will have their own separate passports.

Mdyoung is right. If they had a physical before their interview at the embassy before they came over....they did not need a whole new physical again. The form now needed was a I-693A....supplement. Basically it is just getting a few more vaccinations if they needed any. My civil doctor tried to tell me they needed a whole new physical..which is a lie.

I'd take his advice and call or write a letter first about the A #.

I searched many pages FIRST, but couldn't find any answers to my questions. I know it's aggrevating for the old-timers to continually answer the same things over and over again.

Here it is...A female friend is bringing her fiance from Colombia with his 2 kids to the U.S. . The natural mother is O.k. with this, so no problems there.

Here are the questions.....She said the kids don't need to attend the interview in Bogota...but do the kids who are 8 & 9 years old need to take the medical exam in Bogota? Or do they have one done somewhere else? If they need to take it in Bogota, I assume they need to pay the same amount as the father...correct?

I've seen conflicting advice.....The kids are named on the I-129f (which has been approved already). They are coming over to the U.S. with the Father. Do the kids need to fill out separate paperwork to get their visas?....do the kids need to pay any additional money for the visas? (which forms and the amounts?...if needed.)

What does the natural mother need to sign? A notarized paper saying the Father can take the kids?....or something else or an additional paper? The two were never married, but he is listed on their birth certificates as their father.
