k2 visa for child

[Jules_uk 0]

Have been doing searches for K2 visas with no luck. When getting a K1 and she has a child does she need permission from the father of the child to get the visa and passport? if so what form do they need to sign?

I know here in the states you must have permision from both parents. Also I dont see on the i129f application space for the child, do you just fill out 2 of them and send the extra fee or what other docs are needed for this?

Thank you

Hi,

I too have had terrible trouble finding information on what I will need to take to the embassy in London for my daughters' K2 visa. I spent alot of money on a letter from a solicitor and my ex signed it in front of a solicitor (notorised?) but I thought I'd better check. I rang the embassy and they said they didn't know and to email them.

After 2 weeks here's their reply...

"You will require a sworn statement from your ex-husband to show that he has permitted you to remove your daughter to live in the United States; a signed letter from him and your solicitor is not acceptable for our purposes."

I have to confess I had a bit of a tantrum when I read that

I have no idea what the difference between a notorised letter and a sworn statement is !!

Oh well .. off to line the pockets of the solicitor again.
