[arwensun1965 0]

Like a good little VJer that I am lol I have been looking at all the guides and speaking with Jon we have decided to go for the CR1, I would like to ask what do I do about my daughter?? Does Jon have to fill in the K4?? I can find no information on the subject, every time I put K4 visa in the search it comes back with an error page. Is this even the correct visa?

Hi Janice

Great to see that you are working your way back to be together

The K-4 is a derivative of the K-3

CR-2 Child of U.S. citizen (conditional status). An I-130 needs to be filed

Hi Lorelle

What is a CR-2?? ...Alarna is not the daughter of Jon, so not a child of US Citizen.... I read that a child is a Step child if the US citizen and the fiancee are married before the child is 18 years of age, Alarna was 17 when Jon and I got married, as you know Jon and I were married on the 18th of March 2006, Alarna was not 18 till the 26th March 2006, so my question is does this make any difference??? Can Jon put her down as a US child?? I do not know if I am making much sense here. Please help!!!

I don't imagine it makes a difference when filing the petition whether its a day, week, month or years. She was still under 18, which is the stipulation.

CR-2 applies to step children if the marriage took place prior to the childs 18th birthday.

I just want to ask you if you filed a I-130, one for your husband and one for your step daughter?

My situation is similar to yours. I filed an I-130 for each my husband and my step daughter, since we were not married more than 2 years at the time i filed, my husband was given a CR1 (conditional Resident) status and my step daughter a CR2( conditional resident) status. Since our second wedding anniversary has past, and an interview has yet to be scheduled, now they are both IR1/2 status( immigrant residents).

hope this helps and good luck.
