Yes K2 is just like the K1, except when it comes to getting SSN K2's have to wait until they get their EAD even if they are only 8 and won't be working they need the EAD. Follow to join would work to let your fiance get settled first. Basically at the interview your fiance would go without his son and let them know he will follow to join later. This gives you 1 yr from your fiance's visa approval or interview to get the K2. He will do the medical and interview later. Make sure you check the timing of AP, incase your fiance can't go back to finish things up and bring his son to the US.

If you are thinking of getting the K2 there are a few issues. 1. You fiance's son would need a letter from the other parent that gives consent to move the child to the US permanently, or sole custody of the child. Some countries are more strict than others when it comes to what you need. Canada for example, sole custody is not enough and a letter from the other parent or court order is still needed. 2. If the child leaves the US without advance parole then he cannot come back without you starting the all over again. The K1 is a 1 time use visa, he cannot come back on it, it cannot be used like a tourist visa. 3. If waiting until the EAD is approved to have him come later that could be 6-8 months. What is the point of waiting until the work permit comes? Is it again to visit or to move then after finishing school for the year? I've noticed that US schools do not line up with schools of other countries and they most likely still be entering mid year. This option would be the Follow to join with the K2 again the consent to move the child will be needed. Tourist visas are not a given even if it is a child. You need to be sure to understand that if he is not coming on the K2 that he may never get a B2 to visit.

Happy birthday Mini-B 🎂

~~Moved to AOS Family K1/K3, from K1 P&P - the OP is asking about AOS after marriage on a K1~~

~~Moved to Tourist Visas, from K1 P&P - Even though there is talk about a spousal visa the OP is asking about visiting not moving to the US.~~

They won't have any trouble at the border. If anything you might get a call from the health unit in your area, but as this is not related to TB you probably won't hear from them.

I completely understand. If you can swing it visiting more often might help some.

I agree with the others. You're so close to the end of this why start all over later.

They do not give shots at the border. They will need to see a health nurse/clinic or a GP. If the medical is marked as incomplete they may not get their visas issued. If it is marked as complete (most vaccines only need to have the series started) it will not hold anything up. Since they got the chickenpox vaccine please do make sure they get the booster. Shingles is now a risk for them. Can't get singles if they never had chickenpox or the vaccine. A booster for chickenpox will be needed to get full protection, but sadly in the future they will want to get the shingles vaccine too.

The long form in Ontario is the Statement of Live birth. The one in your link is what you want.

~~Moved to K1 P&P from Progress Report~~

~~Moved to AOS from Work, Student and Tourist Visas, from What Visa Do I Need- The OP's spouse and stepchild are already in the US.~~

I'm talented and can mess up in many types of math.

OMG how on earth did they find me. Yup sounds like me. She has big goals but she is going to curse her 3 story chicken coop.

~~THis is is locked and is not to be restarted in any shape or form. The OP is asking for help that is beyond the scope of our VJ members and needs to seek proper legal counsel.~~ Ontarkie Lead Moderator

Don't blame you. You can always use other catchy words. Something to show that you are not just a general inquiry.

Yes it is. I know with Montreal using certain keywords are the ones that get read and replied to the fastest.

I would wait for them to email you back. The K2 option is still available to you right now and that will be the fastest. NVC has no part of it. Stick to the Embassy. You could try to email again with the Subject line saying Urgent K2 follow to join Skip all the other stuff you mentioned and say you are now needing to continue the process for your K2 child asap.

~~Hijack post and related reply split off an unrelated thread. Also moved to Working and Traveling, from General Immigration Discussion.~~

~~Hijack post split off to its own thread. It's always best to not post questions about your case in other member's threads. It can be overlooked or cause confusion to the original thread.~~

~~Post split off an unrelated thread. It is also moved to the proper forum. AOS from Work, STudent and Tourist Visa.~~

~~Moved to Moving Here and YOur New Life, from K1 P&P - the OP is asking about name changes once his stepson arrives to the US.~~ Mod hat off Your stepson doesn't get to assume your last name like his mother after marriage. Many schools will allow him to use your last name but nothing will make it a legal last name. That would require either adoption, or a legal name change.

~~Moved to AOS from Work, Student and Tourist Visas, form IR1/CR1 P&P - The OP's wife is inside the US~~
