K2 interview

[Precious 2]

My son, 13 has his interview scheduled at the Rio consulate in April 14th.

I've just mailed the signed forms and paper work to my ex who is taking him to the interview.

So far, so good. It was really easy to get him an appointment. I emailed the embassy telling them that he was ready and they gave me a date.

Now, does anyone know if he will have the same 180 days on K2 visa to travel to US as it is the case of the K1?

I can't wait to have him here with me

Thanks!

Yes

K-2 is valid for 6 months.

Look at the table at the top of this page: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciproc...ocity_3521.html

Moving this to consulate embassy forum. The K-2 is NOT yet adjusting status.

Thanks Yuanddan!

I know about the K2 AOS. Once he gets here, we will have to go through all USCIS pain again

But I was concerned about the time frame, because he will have to finish the school semester in Brazil before coming to start High School here in the US. And the "follow to join" petition is only valid for one year after K1 is issued, so there you go.

Thanks for your help!

The interview and visa needs to be issued within 1 year after the K-1's however the K-2 visa will be valid for 6 months after the K-2 interview.
