i have a question, planning on doing the same thing with my fiance and her children.

Do the children have to be there during my fiance's interview? They are 9 and 12 yrs old.

They will be following their mother at a later date, can we apply visas for them the same time as my fiance?

can anyone tell me if we need to provide birth certificate of my fiancees dependent who is 23 years old that we can not petition to come with us? We are trying to figure this out. My fiancee will call the embassy tomorrow, but was just wondering if anyone new the answer. Thank you....

THE NARROW ROAD IS COMING TO A END! WISH US LUCK ON 2-20-2009! I AM HAPPY BUT NERVOUS. NERVES ARE SHATTERING!

My fiancee passed her interview along with her daughter on 2-20-2009 Friday, and it is a great load off our shoulders. Our journey is still ongoing, but marriage and happiness is surely near. It was all worth it and good luck to all of you out their.

We are waiting for the Visa to be mailed to us by Air21 and should get it in a few days. Happiness is one of the greatest virtues in life, so with this life enjoy it to the upmost!!!!!

You can submit a petition for them at the same time you submit for your wife (I-130s, include them on the I-129f (K1/K3). The guides and flowcharts here on VJ can probably answer some of your questions and for sure are required reading (studying).

If you are filing the I-129f for K1/K3, be sure to include the children. IMHO, asking a mother to leave her children behind is not a good idea.

Well that is her idea. She works overseas and only sees her children once a year so she's not exactly leaving them. Kids live with grandparents. We're planning on becoming stable in the U.S. first, get her a job and find our own apt (still living with parents we're Filipino after all) before bringing the kids.

Anyone else knows if the children have to be interviewed?

yes, the children do have to be at interview when applying for a visa. at the interview young children usually are not asked many questions. our daughter was asked just one, how old are you? you can have the children apply for visas at same time as their mom. just remember the visa is only valid for six months from issuance date. someone would have to return for them, to bring them to the USA, before their visas expire.

you can also choose to have the children interview at a later date than your finace, if six months not enough time to go back for children. just remember, the K-2 Visa must be issued witin one year from the date the K-1 was issued.
