Hi vj family.. Here's my situation now, a good friend that I met here in vj (she is working at the court) referred an atty. and I am currently negotiating w the atty. his payment is 40,000 php to cover my daughter case. He suggested to run a correction of entry which I need to take an oath w the consul of Phil embassy here in US ( which I am not sure where is at) he gave me a timeframe of 3-4months to have my daughter birth certificate corrected. (Actually depends on court if how slow they are) if ever my daughter birth certificate get corrected in 4-5 months, will she be able to come here as k2? My visa was issued in August 2012..

Please enlighten me and give me more advice..

Her K2 must be issued within one year of the date your K1 visa was issued. If you can get the correct documents together with sufficient time remaining to schedule an interview and get the visa then it should be ok.

What's wrong with her birth certificate?

As K1 you're supposed to get married within 90 days from landing in US. Did you get married already ?

[my_honey-bunch 0]

Yes we got married..

@my_honey-bunch: Read below:

The child of a fiancé (e) may receive a derivative K-2 visa from his/her parent’s fiancé (e) petition. You, the American citizen petitioner must make sure that you name the child in the I-129F petition. After the marriage of the child’s parent and the American citizen, the child will need a separate form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status. The child may travel with (accompany) the K-1 parent/fiancé (e) or travel later (follow-to-join) within one year from the date of issuance of the K-1 visa to his/her parent. A separate petition is not required if the children accompany or follow the alien fiancé (e) within one year from the date of issuance of the K-1 visa. If it is longer than one year from the date of visa issuance, a separate immigrant visa petition is required.

I just want to add that you and your parents could be jailed as well.
