Forgive me if this question has been answered before as this is the first time on this site...

I'm in the process of filling out the paperwork for my fiance in the Dominican Republic via a K1 visa. She has two daughters and the youngest is a newborn baby that is also my legit daughter.

My question is do I fill out the K1 visa and apply for my fiance and the two daughters together in one package? - OR - Do I declare my daughter first and do her paperwork individually (passport and all), and then file for my fiance and her other daughter under the K1 visa?

This whole process is very confusing and I just want to make sure I get it right the first time obviously.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Check out these 2 recent posts from Speeds03 in this Portal.

CBRA - DNA / I-129

He asked similar things just a few days ago. Your process is a little more confusing but we can help you here. I don't have experience with the petition for the baby, but from Speeds post you will see that, for a biological child you need to file a CBRA, for the stepdaughter a K2, and for the fiance the K1.

Here is a link about the baby...hope it helps:

Bringing an immigrant child to the US

Read this post also about the baby:

CBRA

So, as far as I know, you will defintiely do the K2 and K1 together. Just check out to see if the CBRA for the baby is also sent in at the same time as the others.

Thanks so much for replying. Based upon the information you provided, I see that I would have to do the CBRA for my child first/alongside the K1 visa.

Thanks again.
