Bringing step son over afterwards

[Laura_and_IanM 0]

I posted before what information would be needed to petition for my step son to come over. I have read the link that someone gave me (aussiewench), but I am confused on something (as usual lol). My step son won't be coming over right away as he still needs to finish school which won't be until next may. By that time my husband will already be over there on his K-3, so does this mean we will have to reapply for his son? Or will it the application that I use for my husband still be valid depending on when it gets approved? From my understanding, say my husbands K-3 goes through in September/October, from that date that it is approved, does the visa holder have 6 months to use it then it is considered invalid??? If that is the case then, if my husbands does go through in Sept/Oct., then that definately will become invalid by the time my step son is able to come over. Any suggestions/thoughts/ideas???

Thanks everyone in advance!!

Yes Ian once he gets his visa has to activate it within 6 months, the forms you will get will ask you to list children of Ian & will also ask who is to follow, your step son will need to have a medical, but can get a K4 visa from Ians K3 while ever Ian is still on a K3 status, I.E is until he AOS, which s fine as the K3 is good for 2 years!!
