sons of fiance visa to US?

[beverly.ann 0]

Hello everyone,

I appreciate any help you may give me on this matter. My fiance is awaiting the information to be sent from the Polish consulate. We filed the I129F which was approved so we are now waiting for him to be granted a K1 visa. His sons are now 18 and 12 and their mother was given custody after the divorce. He did not wish me to put his sons' names on the I129F since they could not come because of the custody situation. So, on the form I indicated that he had two sons living with his ex, but I did not name them specifically. So here are the questions I have. Will the younger son be able to come as immediate relative (no waiting for visa)when he turns 18? Will the older son be able to come with his father or must he wait since he was not actually named on the petition and is already 18? Will he have to wait years for a visa number to come up? Thanks again!

The only way for the 18 year old to come immediately is as a K-2. Otherwise he will need to wait until his father is eligible to petition for him

FWIW: The I-129F says list ALL children... not just children that will immigrate. I am continually amazed as to why people do this only have it come back to haunt them and they wish they had done it correctly the first time
