K2 Visa Follow-to-join For My Son

[Ciku 0]

Hi everyone, I need some heads up based on experience or knowledge. From Nairobi Kenya, I traveled to US on K1 visa and everything has been good so far. Got married in time, applied for green card, got my EAD and ssn etc. My son was included in the i-129F petition by my husband but when applying for my visa I chose "to follow". I'm now ready for him to come and I would like my dad to take care of the process. I have already given the power of attorney over him. Question is, what are the documents needed to the embassy for K2 visa? I tried emailing them but they didn't give me much info. Do I still need to fill all the forms I did for my K1 visa even thhough I was including his name in the files? Do my husband need to submit Affidavit of support and tax returns? My son is 12 years old. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

K-2 Visa Application Process

Your children will have to go through the same (or a very similar) application process as you. At the beginning of the application process, all the U.S. citizen sponsor needs to do is to include the children’s names on Question 14 of the Fiancé Visa Petition (Form I-129F). The consular officials should then send extra sets of the required forms for the children to fill out. If you do not receive these extra forms, contact the consulate. For young children, it’s okay for a parent to fill out the form, and even sign it, on their behalf. (Just sign your name, then write Parent of [name of your child].)

The children will have to prove that they are not inadmissible and that they will be financially supported along with the immigrating fiance. Each cihld will need to show proof of their relationship to the immigrating K-1 parent, such as a birth or adoption certificate. You will also need to gather many of the same documents for the children as you do for the main applicant, such as medical reports, photos, and passports; and to pay individual visa fees.

After you get married and apply for a green card, your K-2 children may apply along with you. Each will need to submit (by mail) a separate application for adjustment of status to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Hi

I am from Australia, so unsure if the process is the same in your country.

But my 15 year old daughter was a follow to join 9 months after I arrived in the USA. I contacted my consulate and they gave me instructions.

The process was the same for her as it was for myself and my son when we came over beforehand. The same forms, same other parent (father) permission to leave the country, affidavit of support, medical, interview. It was the same for her was it was for us.

As she was 15, she signed her own forms, but younger kids can have a parent sign.

The process time was a bit quicker for my daughter than it was for us I think.

Once she arrived in the USA we submitted her AOS paperwork and she received her greencard in the mail. In our case she was not required to attend an interview for this, but she DID have to have the biometrics done.

Sorry I don't know more about your particular embassy, but I hope it helps in some small way.

I wish you all the best, and a quick and easy process to bring your son to you.
