Children to Follow Fiance on K1 Visa (Jamaica)

[Back2real 4]

Hello,

So in Packet 3 all I am reading is that the children (age 3 and 7 in our case) need birth cert, passport and medical if they will be accompanying the fiance. What if they children will be following my fiance with in one year? Do they still need to present their birth certs, Passports and have a medical exam at my fiances interview? Do they need to come tp the interview. Or just at the time when and if they actually follow within the year.

Also, is the other parent (mother) of the children required to give a letter of permission for the kids to be able to accompany and or follow their father to the USA? Will a 3 and a 7 year old need their own passports or can they travel on their fathers? And if their dad is not on the birth cert will this pose any problems with them getting the K2 visa and/or their dad getting them their passports if they need it? The son is a Jr. but the father is not listed nor is no father listed on both children. They both have his last name though. Him and the mother were never married. Will the mother of the children need to give permission or both be present when applying for the kids passports? You can tell the mother is not wanting (or knowing at this point) the kids to go the US with us. However they see their dad now on weekends, vacations,and holidays so if they want to see their father in the future they will need to travel to the US. And this is such a great opportunity for them in so many ways. Anyone have any experience with these issues. Thanks so much!

The children WILL need the mother permission, even id she is MIA.

ALL children and adults regardless of age will need passports and medical to migrate to the US.

If the children are follow to join, they do not need to be present at the interview with him.

IF the fathers's name was not on the BC at birth, but added later, the children will be required to obtain DNA testing.

The father should have the children's Bc before he leaves JA.

Exactly - if you intend to bring the children on follow to join, you have to have listed them on the K1 petition - within 1 year of him getting his visa you can schedule their interview and get their visa - if you wait more than a year, you have to file a new I-130 for each child - Work now on getting him added to their BC, and be prepared to do a DNA if the embassy asks for it - The mother will also have to give permission, so that is another talk to begin having.

Makes sense. Thank you
