About K2 visa....

[babyrog 0]

Hi to all vj family, I have a question about my son. By the way I arrived here in US on March 5 2009 and I'm already a greencard holder and now it's time for my son to follow me here. He is 11 years old and I want to know if he still eligible for the K2 visa and how and where to apply and what are the documents to prepare. And also what are the things to prepare for the escort since his still minor and cant travel all alone. Please I need your advise and thanks in advance.

Your son would need to have had his visa issued within a year of the date yours was issued. I take it that year has already passed. Your husband would now file an I-130 petition for his stepson in order to eventually obtain a CR2 visa.

Follow to join is available for up to one year from the date your K-1 was issued and the K-2 must be issued before that date.... based on your timeline that is 4 days from now... I would say an impossibility to get it done in 4 days but the process starts at the USEM with the DS-156, et al...

wow - yer on the edge.

Suggest you stay up late tonight - call the USEM in Manilla, get a HUMAN, and tell them you are starting the K-2 FTJ case.

IF they allow you to start this - then you'll need to go fast with all of the documents (Fast - 24 hours from the timestamp on this post).

If the USEM will accept faxed documents from you, you might 'gain some speed'

Suggest you prep your documents this evening, dust off the fax machine as well.

call asap - ask for interview date for K2 'Follow to Join ' Case.

Good Luck !

Bear in mind the year timeline begins with visa issue. The date we have is the US arrival date. So, I suspect it's already too late for a K2. CR2 is what's going to be available now.

ya- push - it's gonna be hard.

her approval date was at the end o february, back at USEM Manila.

There's a snowball's chance that she can do it - but I still say try to get the foot in the door, until USEM says 'NO!!!'

IMO, shouldn't waste more than 4 days of rushing around, getting things done, if she starts NOW.

Actually, I thought all was tied to the Interview Date - which was the 13th o February, 2009.

Isn't the 'date' tied to 'interview date' ? Or was it something else?

push - you can see her timeline - click the link, mon.

Yes, I see by the timeline that the visa was received February 27 and the interview was the 13th. I expect the visa issue date is the the 14th or 15th, more than a year ago. The OP can simply check the visa issue date on the visa itself to know for certain.

Hi pushbrk, we did'nt make it for K2 visa so we'll take your advice to file an I-130. Do you have any idea how long the processing will it take? Is it true that it takes 8 years or more? I hope to hear from you and thanks again.

8 years? Where did you hear this? For a child of a USC it is probably 6-8 mos.

NO. If you (an LPR) file the petition for your son, it might take years. Have your husband (A US Citizen) file a petition for your his stepson like I said and it should take 6 to 8 months.
