tourist visa issuance eligibility is the same... if she qualifies (overcome presumption of intent to immigrate), then one can be issued ... if she does not then one will not...

YMMV

Hi Sachinky,

Actually I'm being hopeful and thinking ahead. I'm hoping my fiance will get his K1 visa shortly and we've added his daughter on it to follow him to the States. She's 11. I'd like her to visit sometime shortly after he gets here but she won't be immigrating until we get settled etc...

I was just wondering if since we have listed on K1 would we be able to get a B2 for her before the K2 was issued.

Thanks

Payxibka,

So are you saying, we'd have to complete filings for her under the K2 - and assuming we are approved for that - we'd also , most likely, be approved for a B2?

Thanks

no, eligibility requirements for a tourist visa are the same with or without any petition filing in process... however, the threshold of overcoming "intent to immigrate" may be more difficult to overcome, but that is strictly a consulate decision...

YMMV

Based on your later comments, NO. Since she is listed as a K-2 derivative, that will be the next visa that will be issued.

Why would you want her to come beforehand, before she immigrates with the K-2?

Phil (Lockport, near Chicago) and Alla (Lobnya, near Moscow)

As of Dec 7, 2009, now Zero miles apart (literally)!

Reg; stick with the K2 -- my cousin tried the same thing and it was a bag a headache...her step daugther also 11 years came followed 5 months.

********************************************************************************

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Thanks Tre,

I think that's what we're going to do. We'll probably adjust her moving date so it's not in the middle of a school year too

Thanks again everyone!!
