K-2 clarification

[jhet 0]

Hello folks!

I just need some clarification concerning K-2s. I got my K-1 visa issued last 29June. My 2 kids (1 just turned 18 last July and the other is 12) are still yet to apply for their visa as my derivative. Have married my husband last 11Aug, which is within the 90-day period, but I haven't filed my AOS yet due to some financial difficulty.

In case, since they have 1 year to follow me, can my kids still file for the application for visa under my approved petition within the prescribed period as my derivatives on my I-129F?

Will my current status affect their application for visa?

Is it advisable to file for their visa application first so they can follow me, then we can adjust our status altogether?

Thank you so much in advance for any input/s or clarification. I desperately need advise on what's the best thing to do and what options I have.

You have the one year.... you may have to prove to the consulate that you met the conditions of the K-1...

They have to apply for the visa within one year, that is a hard line.

In our case we did a K-2 at the time of my wifes visa and a K-2 to follow 10 months later. For the K-2 to follow, we had to include a copy of our marriage certificate and a copy of my wifes green card OR I-797C that she had filed to adjust status. My wife had her green card by that time, so we just gave a copy of that, That was for the Kiev consulate.

You need to write an email to the Manilla consulate and ask them specifically what is needed for the K-2 to follow. They will give you a list and you will need to present everything on that list for each child. The children will each need an I-134 fled for them and the income will need to be sufficient for your family size.
