When filing a K1 petition with two children coming on a K2 petition do I pay the $455 for the K1 and $355 each for the children for the I-130.

Thanks

No, just the I-129F fee. You don't file I-130 petitions for children of K1 beneficiaries. Just list them on the petition. They will be invited to apply for visas with their parent.

Thanks for the quick reply, that is what I thought but I wanted to be sure. I would like to stay away from the RFE's

Your question indicates you have not carefully studied the K1 guide. Nothing in the guide speaks of filing an I-130 for the child of a fiancee. To do it yourself, it's going to be critical that you carefully study the guide and form instructions, interpret them literally and respond acurately.

The guide does not address the K2 filing. I have read the guides and looked on the Bogota site and see that I need DS-156 for each child so I thought it was possible I need I-130's for the children.

No. You pay only the $455. Just make sure you list the children on the I-129f. You need nothing else until the interview stage.

You will never use an I-130 for the K-1/K-2 process. Unfortunately the guides are weak on information for K-2s. We did a k-2 and a K-2 to follow. Nothing else needed at the petitionstage, all the rest will come at the interview stage. Think of it as the K-1 x 3, because that is basically what it will be.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

an I-130 is a petition for an immediate relative and results in the determination of eligibility for an IMMIGRANT visa.... your fiancee's children are not yet your immediate relative... and 2) a DS-156 is an application for a non-immigrant visa...

When the time comes you will pay a separate visa application fee with each DS-156 you submit to the consulate

YMMV
