Depends on the consulate. Our 13 year old (at the time) was not interviewed. Our 18 year old K2 to follow was interviewed but they really didn't ask anything pertinent. Neither were interviewed for the AOS. K2s are derivitive of K1s, if the K1 is approved the K2 will be also.

This is not entirely true but it is generally true as long as the applicable paperwork and permissions are in order and the parental relationship has been adequately established. Even when there are questions about the parental relationship, the K1 visa is usually delayed until they are cleared up. In cases where the K2 will follow to join there's far more possibility of blue slips for inadequate documentation, since the documents are presented "later".

I was at the only Embass/Consulate located in Kingston, Jamaica on 11/1/2010 and I saw where a child was accompanied by a older lady.. I heard one question "when was the last time you spoke with your father?" It's more so about the petitioner and not much stress on the relationship.. yuh no have nothin fi worry about.

I guess I should have qualified that. Yes, you need to submit the proper documentation and it is basically a duplicate of the K-1s documents plus or minus a couple things specific to the consulate. They do not interview a K2 for the purpose of establishing a "relationship" as they do with a K-1.

The only thing you have to "prove" is that they are under 21, never married and the child of the K-1 beneficiary. This usually requires a birth certifcate and visa application. SOME consulates may require a DNA test or a statement of never being married. Again, having the right documents is key as you state Pushbrk.

Guangzhou and perhaps some other Consulate have been wanting to see even more than a birth certificate. They are asking for photos of the child through their lifetime.
