I have applied for both wife and her kid. Both have NOA2 now. My question is:

After they get IV, can wife POE first, then a few months later, wife go back and get the kid. The kid is in school, we want least amount of disruption to her.

yes, but pay attention to the dates printed on the visa for the child. must transit into usa prior to that expiring.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

whew - forgot one important thing.

at the IV Unit, on interview day,

make sure the Consular officer understands that they will be travelling on seperate travel dates,

as usually the two casefiles will be put INTO ONE 'do not open' packet - and they need to be put into TWO 'do not open' packets.

If the child doesn't have that 'do not open' packet, then the child will have a rash o trouble at the POE, as they are expecting the casefile to be handed over AT the poe.

So, pay attention to what arrives, after interview day. If two packets, all is good.

If only one packet, only a consular officer can de-bundle it into two and she'll have to get back into the IV for that to happen.

Thanks again! That's very helpful!
