Hi -

My fiance is coming to the US on a K-1 visa. Our interview is at the end of January. We are trying to figure out what our options are to ensure that his son will be able to consistently visit us here in the US. The son's mother has full custody of the son and the boy is 6 years-old. The possibility of the boy immigrating to attend school full time in the US is definitely a possibility with in 2-4 years. However in the meantime I am wondering if it would be possible to apply for and obtain a five-years multiple entry B-2 visa for my fiance's son.

Keeping in mind that we are not pursuing any permanent status for the son at this time, do we have any other options?

Thanks.

No, and nothing can ensure or guarantee that the son will be admitted to the US without issue.

A tourist visa is the way to go, but not sure what ties a 6 year old can produce.

good luck

Remember that he can NOT attend school on a visitors visa. And many others require that you pay for the schooling even at public schools

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

It'll be easier and more convenient if the father visits his son in Cuba.

Mother has full custody so a lot will initially be down to her.

Is she agreeably to the visits and possible future migration?
