K2's using AP without K1 being present for flight

[Jaylen Brit 0]

OK this is one which will likely come up for others - and its something I'm curious about as it will affect me after we marry.

My child will be coming WITH me when we emigrate, but she will require AP probably sooner than I will so she can see her birth-father, for access visit, in our country of origin (UK).

She is legally old enough to travel unaccompanied, and willing to do so I should add, and the airline we think it most likely we will use has no problems with unaccompanied minors (she's 10 goin on 11).

However, the actual visa will be in MY passport for K1 - will it pose a problem for when she returns to the US? Obviously she will have her AP document - and Im assuming they will issue one for her alone - and her own passport with the K2 visa in it.

Any thoughts?

Advice?

Hands-on expereince with this?

Or am I worrying unecessarily?

Probably worrying unnecessarily - she'll be entering the country on her own visa - the K2... so when she gets AP, I see no problem with her coming back.

But alas, I don't have the answer for you, that's why you posted here, so I'll shut up now :-)

Jaylen Brit,

This first statement is a bit confusing - am I correct that she has her own passport? (And her K2 visa is in her passport, not in yours?)

Anyway, not quite sure what you're worrying about. As long as she has her passport and her advance parole document, that's what she needs to be parolled into the USA. The visa will be a moot point by that time.

Yes she has her own passport - which will contain her K2 visa - sorry if I wasn't clear Yodrak

Thanks tho - I was pretty sure that was the case but I didn't want to make assumptions based on a feeling so cheers

The K2 visa will have served its purpose and she won't need it any more. That's what the AP is for and that will be in her name, not yours (you'll have your own). So you don't have anything to worry about...
