Teenage K2's

[Touch of Treble 39]

Hi All,

I have 2 children. My daughter is 16 and coming with me, so she's easy. My son is 18 and studying at college here in Aus and won't graduate till December 2013. I estimate arriving in the US first half of 2012 and both kids are listed as K2's. I've been trying to find out what the process will be for the K2 and the time line, but can't see anything. I'm not sure if it will fit my son's circumstances, as he will need to return to study and the max time he could come over prior to the end of college would be 3 months. That wouldn't be enough time for the AOS for him I think...so maybe I should take him off the process.

Is it a problem to remove a K2 off the list? Has anyone else had a circumstance like this?

Thanks all.

not a problem for him not to apply, but it will cause A huge delay if he ever wants to become a US Resident if he misses the K-2 opportunity, it is likely many years before he can be petitioned for by you after you arrive (like about a minimum of 4)

I believe the K2 child can follow on at a later date. The K2 visa must be issued within a year of the K1 visa date. Of course by then a new physical and police certificate may be needed.

Thanks for your responses guys. It has helped. We have talked, my son and I and will take action from there...

Hope you are blessed with an easy VJ.
