He wanted to come here first to get established before bringing his girls. & we would like to know the process so we can begin looking after paperwork & required

If alive he will need permission from their mother to immigrate. They will each need medicals and interviews. It is basically the same as his ( except he didn't need permission from his mommy )

(organizer hat off)

Take the opportunity to review the DOS Nonimmigrant Visa for Fiance(e) (K-1) FAQs for more information:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/types/family/fiance-k-1.html

From your line of questioning, the children's K-2 visa applications were processed at the same time as the K-1? Do you have the children's immigration packets with the passports and attached K-2 visas? Please provide for information about the specific situation.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Is all we need from the mother a notarized statement, they were listed on the k1 but, didnt attend the interview since we plan on bringing them within the yr. We want to know the process & which forms we need to fill out. Will they attend another interview they are 12 & 15months

They will ask general chod appropriate questions. Like do you know where your daddy lives, do you know your step mommy, ( for those of speaking age )

what do u mean. I wont enjoy it

NigeriaOrBust's signature that says "this will not be over quickly, you will not enjoy this" refers to the journey to get a loved one to the US. It is a long and painful process that I don't think anyone enjoys. It was not directly solely to you

good luck

Check out the Bringing Family Forum. I'm sure you'll find many couples how have started that process. All the best to you on your visa journey.

Children go through the same process as the adults. They have the same forms as he did, they have to have medical, have an interview, pay the visa fees. That is true that the mother, has to write a statement that she is legally giving custody to the father to live in the US. Also, the mother and/or the father must take the children and attend the interview. Only one of the legal guardians can attend the interview with the children.
