children following 6months after, should we send in all our visa applications to the manila embassy together?

I'll admit I am biased towards children coming at the same time as the parent, so sorry if it sounded like I was criticizing those who choose follow to join. whether choosing same time or follow to join the important thing is, in the end, to be together as a family.

As someone that did the follow to join, I did not take your's or anyone's comments to be criticizing those that do the follow to join. I just wanted to present another view from someone that did it. I also hope I did not sound judgemental towards your position either. As I said, there are valid arguments for doing both and the choice is up to the individual. I agree that family togetherness and reunification should be the focus even for those that do follow to join.

so, please help me get this correct, if my now wife (then fiance) received her K1 visa in june 2007, then I must either apply for the kids to follow before june 2008 or must I actually have the childrens visas in hand before june 2008?

also, do I also have to pay a fee for each child in addition to seperate applications for each child?

is the fee about 400 dollars per child?

thank you for any advice/tips

for a K-2, the visas would need to be issued by June 2008. allow enough time to set up interview. each child would require a separate visa application. I believe the application fee is $131 each.
