k-2 question please

[miamiLime 0]

Hello,

I want to know what is a K-2 Physically. Does the child receive a packet like the fiance's. I plan on bringing the 4 year old over to the states within a year. What does the 4 yr old travel with? a packet? a stamp on her passport? Please help me.

THanks

The Child will`get a K2 visa in the passport the same as your fiance did, probably a pack to hand in at POE too!!

The child will most likely need a passport. Although some countries do allow minor children to travel on the parent's passport. The child will need at a minimum, birth certificate, visa application photos, visa fee, visa application form and have a medical exam.

There will only be one big brown envolpe which is given to the K-1 and everyone's paperwork will be in it.

What happens though in the case as the OP said, 'I plan on bringing the 4 year old over to the states within a year'. If the child is travelling after the mother has already entered on the K-1.

This was what i thought you meant...........the child will travel after, so wouldnt there need to be a seperate envelope for POE purposes??

there have been a memeber of VJ that brought her daughter "after" on a K2, from Canada, I dont remember who though, lets hope she will see this post & put us all straight

9 FAM 41.81 PN4 Supporting Documents Hand-carried by Applicant

9 FAM 41.81 PN4.1 Documents Placed in Envelope (TL:VISA-346; 01-14-2002)

Supporting documents, including the K visa petition, birth certificate, duplicate Form DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application, Form DS-156K, Nonimmigrant Fiancé Visa Application (including the certificate of legal capacity and intent to marry), and Form DS-2053, Medical Examination for Immigrant or Refugee Applicant (in duplicate), and the Form DS-3025, Vaccination Documentation Worksheet, should be placed in a sealed envelope and given to the applicant for presentation at the port of entry. (A copy of Form DS-2053 is also to be retained in the applicant’s issued visa file.) Any documents for accompanying children are to be enclosed in the envelope containing the parent’s documentation.

9 FAM 41.81 PN4.3 Child of a K-1 (TL:VISA-324; 10-10-2001)

In the case of children following-to-join the principal alien who are entitled to K-2 classification, the required documents are to be placed in an envelope together with a copy of the approved K visa petition. A notation of the principal alien’s name and date of visa issuance is to be made immediately below the lower margin of the visa stamp. For example, “Principal alien: Mary Brown, K-1 visa issued November 16, 2000.”

Plus this probably also answers the question about a K-1 child's I-94 having an A# written PA XXX XXX XXX with the same A# as the parent. PA stands for principal alien.

Euro is right. We just got our packets on Saturday and both of my children had separate envelopes

Euro was right in her first reply on this thread.

The K-2 exercising "follow to join" benefits, will have the visa in their passport (with all necessary annotations relating to the original K-1) and the brown envelope.

Euro,

In which case I appologize for challenging your supposition. I don't know for sure, but I suspect you are correct that a K2 who is following to join may have their own 'brown envelope'.
