K-2 Not listed

[Rob n Tess 5]

Hello everyone!,

We have our K-1 visa at the Manila embassy, with interview scheduled, and I was wondering how the K-2 visa will work, because if the K-2 needs to be there wont she need an appointment? I call the embassy and they said that she should be listed on the letter we received from them and there was no listing of the k-2. How are we supposed proceed with this?

You list ALL children on the 129f form, regardless of their immigration intent.

You then list only those children that you wish to have a K-2 issued on the DS-156K form....and you list whether they are To Join or To Follow.

Then if they are To Join, you get a medical done for them and bring them along for your interview.

If they are To Follow, then when you are ready for them to come, you notify the Embassy to schedule their interview, have a medical done for them and then have them attend their interview.

Just like what was mentioned above by the other members

There is no reference of K2 on any of documents we received but my Fiancee daughter was listed on the 129F.

If she is to migrate with you at the same time then she will be required to do the same as you (Visa fee, medical, DS Forms, affidavit of support form..etc..and interview). My Fiancee just completed her interview last week with her daughter.

Where can I find this information on the USCIS web site.. and why is there no guide for K-2... ?

You may not be able to find much info on the USCIS site, but here is a link to the DoS Nonimmigrant K-1 Fiance(e) FAQs. It has some good information about the K1/K2 (derivative) process.

Initially I was wondering the same thing about a K-2 guide, but after finding the DoS FAQs listed above and following the directions on the few assorted forms, the process become clearer, and, for me, negated the need for a guide. A little site thread searching with Google also provided some great info. There also seems to be some distinct differences (as always) as to how these visas are handled at the interviewing consulate/embassy level. Since this is a DIY site, if you feel so inclined, put together a K-2 guide and present it to the site's admin for site inclusion. Future Vjers will likely be appreciative of your efforts.

Stay tuned, my fiance(e) (K-1) and her son (K-2) are scheduled to have their visa interviews in about 10 days in Guangzhou. Afterwords, I will be posting a review, maybe it can help others in their visa journey.

Good luck on your visa journey.
