k2 process and required documents

[raistlin119 0]

I had my k1 visa issued in Hong Kong consulate last January 2014. Since it will expire on June 2014, I went home to help my 7-year-old son to apply for a K2 visa so that he can accompany me to the US.

Now these are my questions:

a) how long it will take for the k2 visa process here in Phils? I'm afraid the time left before my visa expires will not be enough.

b) what are the documents do I need to prepare for the interview?

I sent an inquiry to USEM for the status of my son's application, they replied that they sent notification to our address last Feb 4 and that we no need to wait for the hard copy of that which until now we didn't receive. As of now, I just finished the DS 160 form online and I had registered in their CGIfederal website and saw there that the first available schedule appointment is on May 13, 2014.

c) the date shows in that website is always the actual available?

I am hoping that if I call for scheduling an appointment there will be earlier than that.

Please do help me what to do so that we can leave before May. I want to be in the US by then for my fiance's birthday.

Thank you!

Now that you are in the Philippines YOU will have to attend CFO before you can exit the country, and your son will need to be registered if he is under the age required to attend. (info in my link)

a) & b) = Yes May is the earliest for available interview slots, then add a couple weeks while waiting for the visa delivery. Calling or scheduling online will not offer different interview dates. Once you grab a May date, you can keeping checking for earlier available slots, but for sure grab a May date. You do not need to wait for any letter from USEM for sure... keeping moving forward

Documents needs are almost the same as for the K1, the process for this is listed in my link below (follow the flashing arrow), there is a link to the embassy instructions letter.

Did you pay the visa fee at BPI yet? If not there is info in the link for that also.

Then your son will need to do the medical, that is first come first served and for children under a certain age takes three days.

Hi Hank! I haven't pay the visa fee yet. Hopefully today. Unfortunately, I cannot see any link that you are talking about. So that means I need to have my fiance prepare and send me the form I-134 again?

Thank you so much!

Yes the I-134, copy of tax return and W-2 are required.

You are not using a computer huh? Everything required is listed in the embassy instructions letter
