If he currently holds a B2 visa then , yes , he can travel to the US for a visit.. BUT.. be prepared with strong documentary evidence that will persuade the CBP officer, at incoming US immigration, that he will be returning to China at the end of the visit. It will be up to the CBP officer to decide if he will be allowed to enter. The risk is that the officer may decide the risk of your son staying and applying for AOS is too high, and deny him entry. It wont affect his immigrant visa application, but it will be a difficult time having to leave him in the hands of CBP who will board him on a plane back to China 

omg, if they really deny him entry, will they take my son alone and board him back? He's only 8 years old. Can I request to stay with my son and back to China together?

Does he have a B?

yes he already have B visa

We applied I-130 for my son and the receipt date is 4/2/2022. However there's NO any update till now. It's still pending now. My husband really wanna see him. I plan go back to China and bring my son to see his father and spend the summer holiday together. Can I bring him to US with his B2 visa? We plan to send him back before school start. 

Thank you!

If you qualify then yes you can be added.

Thank you so much! 

We just bought the insurance for added coverage.

Actually, the first question on the website is asking about my SSN. We though without the SSN we can't go to the next step.

However, we just try skip that question, and it let us go to the next page. 

Thanks again!

Also I hope this tips could others people. 

Thank you. But my husband already bought his plan for 2021. Can I still added on it? I don't have SSN. He said all residents' plan need SSN. lol

Hi, 

I'm waiting for my working permit and I don't have SSN for now. However my visitor's insurance will be end this month. I wanna buy a short term health insurance. But my husband asked some friends they only sale the residents insurance plan. 

Is there any way the people whom like me, we could buy any short term health insurance? 

Thank you!

Many are in your situation.   Consulate will exend

Thank you. 

I'm in USA now and we're thinking about maybe we can get married here instead of waiting for K1 visa interview. It's too long for waiting lol 

We have the same issue and we suppose to get married tomorrow lol.  If we gonna get married in US we have give up the K1 and wait for new timeline which is about 1 year and 3 months. 

My K1 application is gonna expired within 1 year but Consulate still NOT open for interview yet. How can I apply?

I have got the Notice for K1 visa applicants on 1/1/2020 but the Consulate in China closed till now due to the pandemic. On my letter it said if failure to take the requested action within one year will result in your application being terminated. I'm worried if the Consulate don't open back before end of this year, my application will be terminated. How can I prevent it terminate?

Thank you!

Hi, 

Just wanna leave the feedback about my parents visa. They got pass.  I hope it would help the people has same situation like me. 

The officer was nice, and only asked two questions. 

Thank God.

Ah.  An agency can only provide whatever info they are given by the applicant.  How would they know her details?  Probably best not to go through an agency anyway.

 

And they wouldn't reject specifically because she is retired.  They reject because they deemed her to be an overstay risk due to lack of ties to her country.  Ties can be things other than a job though.

Yes. I cannot book the good time for my mom's interview (She only has 10 days to interview before she go to travel)  and that's why I finally choose the agency. I asked them about my mom's information what we should provide them before they fill the form. But anyway I think you're right,  maybe it's not only because her working history......I need to find out more details.....

1 minute ago, Jorgedig said:

"Mistake"?  What would that have been?

I'm not quite sure. Because my mom is retired person, but the agency didn't fill any working history information on her file. However the interviewer asked my mom about her working information and then rejected. So I guess that's the problem.......

I agree with @Jorgedig that your parent's B2 visa will not affect your K1. And to clarify it will be your parents applying for the B2, not you. People can not apply for other people's visitor visas. 

 

Also, if your mom just applied last month and turns around a reapplies, it is likely going to be another denial. Her circumstances hasn't changed in this month so what would be the compelling reason for her to overcome immigrant intent. Her applying with her husband does not disprove immigrant intent.

 

But they are free to apply. Let us know how it goes. Hopefully, they will get lucky.

Thank you. 

For my mom's visa, I believed last time the agency make some mistake on her 160 form. That's why I wanna try one more time...... they will interview around end of July. I will update after that.

Will you also apply for a B2 visa, before applying for the K-1?

Not for my B2 visa but for my parents

2 hours ago, Jorgedig said:

It shouldn't affect your K-1, since K-1 applicants are presumed to have immigrant intent.

 

I would guess that your parents reapplying one month later for a B-2 visa will result in another rejection, but that is your $160 to spend.

Thank you.  I'm more comfortable  to hear that. 

I just called another agency just now, they said same. It shouldn't affect my K1. 

For my parents B2, because I'm worried about after I applied K1, it would be much more difficult for them to get B2. So I wanna try one more time. It doesn't matter pass or not. Just try. lol..........

My mom applied B2 visa on beginning of June this year but she got rejected. I wanna try one more time -- apply my parents together for B2.  We really wanna travel together this summer. 

We didn't summit any document for my K1 application yet. We wanna wait for their visa first. Whatever pass or reject, we will summit K1 later. 

But there's one of the attorney said,  my parents application will affect my K1 in the future. The officer would think my parents wanna using my marriage to reach their immigration purpose. 

He suggested us to stop my parents application now (But I already summit the application and got the interview date). 

My question, 

1) Is my parents B2 application really affect my K1 visa in the future?

2) If yes, how can I do now? I already booked the interview date. If I cancelled now, will it affect also?

3) If yes affect, can I apply the IR 1 visa?  or any other suggestion?

I'm not really understand about the attorney concern. But As I know, even if the officer really think like my parents using me, but if they apply in the legal way, it would be ok, right?

One has nothing to do with the other.  

Thank you

On 6/19/2019 at 5:50 PM, He and I said:

I did it for the same reason... You could use this :

 

Letter of parental consent

 

 

I the undersigned, XXXXXX, born on date in city, biological father of name of child, born on date in city , do hereby give my written consent for his/her to immigrate to the United States of America as a K2 visa holder, accompanying his/her biological mother, XXXX, born on date, in city, as a K1 visa holder.

 

This letter of consent is being issued on date at city, in compliance with immigration requirements for the United States of America.

 

Name

 

Attachment: copy of XXXX’s passport

 

Thank you so much! It's very helpful!

Btw do you think we need to claim as below? 

' I am confirming that I fully understand that I may  be permanently separated from my above-named child. I further acknowledge that if I wish to enter America, as a visitor or a permanent resident, I must comply with all requirements of the Immigration Act and Regulations in force at the time of my application. ' 

I found this online but it was for Canada used. 

On 6/19/2019 at 11:42 AM, Going through said:

Ah...ok...Now I understand a bit more why the officer rejected that--- it was a good thing because for the child's father it protects his rights.

Consent for the child to move, and giving up parental rights are completely different things. The officer was in this case looking out for the child's biological father in protecting his legal right to the child.

 

The notarized letter of consent for the child to move to the US (NOT consent that he is giving up parental rights) is what you need.

Thank you. Now I understand more.

From the top of this forum page:

 

Thank you! It's very helpful!!! I'm checking now

On 6/18/2019 at 7:46 PM, The_Empyrean said:

First of all, i'd advise you to read all the pinned topic in K-1 forum. One specifically says "Yes, You can visit!" read that first.

Secondly, don't volunteer any information when it's not asked. Answer only questions, that are asked by CBP.

Thirdly, if you were here for business and primarily did business, but stopped by him for birthday, that didn't shift your primary reason of entering US, which was business. You didn't do business 24/7, did you? You went to eat somewhere, probably sightseeing as well. That's expected, and not out of ordinary.

As i said, don't say unless asked. And regardless, you're good as you were here to do business, and just swung by. 

Thank you so much!

And my fiance's attorney said the same thing ' Don't say unless asked'...... 

Now I'm checking all information on that topic ' Yes, You can visit' 

On 6/18/2019 at 2:05 PM, Daphne K said:

Yes, answer honestly that you will visit your fiance. That in itself should not have to cause issues. Make sure that you bring plenty of proof for your ties to your home country (job, house etc.) so they will know that you will not stay in The States.

If you are filing in July and you already have the NOA1 when you travel in August, bring that with you so you can show that you are doing your Immigration the legal way and will not cut any corners.

 

Thank you! We start to prepare our documents recently. Hopefully will send in July. 

I see but my case is a little bit special because I didn't get married (I'm unmarried and single mom)

So I don't have any divorce order or decree. But I went to notary department with child's father together. And he said he would like to 'give up' the custody rights. Even so, the office still rejected to write that. 

Thank you very much!

Yes my original country is China. And I try to get the notarized letter with sole custody before, but the officer rejected to do that. They said it's illegal in China. Both parents have the custody and nobody can 'give up' until die.

And now we're planing to get the notarized letter from child's father to claim he consents the child immigrate with mom (me).  I hope it works.

I think I will make sure to put all information on the letter, just in case if the USCIS will ask for more document or files. It will waste time.  

Hello, 

Is there any example for how to write a consent letter from the father consents the daughter immigrate with mom? What information should I need to provide in the consent?

Thank you!
