Bringing a child later

[XMen1 0]

I filled out the K-1 with my fiance's son on the paperwork, passport photos, etc. She has been unable to get permission to take him out of the country, and it looks like a legal battle.

My understanding is that there is no way to extend the K-1 timeline.

If she must leave him behind with family, can she bring him later once the legalities of him leaving the country are resolved?

If so, what is the timeline limitation?

Is there additional paperwork required since he is on the original I-129F, etc.?

Thanks.

He will need the K2 visa applied for him before 1 year passes.

Thanks much. Per the above:

"Your children may travel with (accompany) you to the United States or travel later (follow-to-join). Like you, your children must travel within the validity of their K-2 visas. Separate petitions are not required if the children accompany or follow to join you within one year from the date of issuance of your K-1 visa. If they want to travel later than one year from the date your K-1 visa was issued, they will not be eligible to receive K-2 visas, and separate immigrant visa petitions will be required."
