Visa and medical packet question on k2 portion?

[Josh00333 0]

Hi All

Question

My fiancée is flying out and has her visa and the (singular) medical packet. Her daughter is flying out in 2-3 months and has her K2 visa. Her Daughter K2 has no medical packet, it's all in one bundle.

I called the so helpful UStraveldocs but I just do not trust them.

I'm assuming the medial packet is submitted for AOS later on. But want to make sure her daughter when coming to the US will not have any issues with her K2.

The daughter should not have a K-2 visa in her passport if she if planning "To Follow". When she is ready to travel, then she'd have her medical and Embassy interview. Contact the Embassy to have them remove the visa.

That is totally against every portion of information I've ever gotten.

Do dependent children receiving K-2 visas need to travel to the United States at the same time as the K-1 beneficiary?

No, eligible dependent children can travel to the United States on a K-2 visa within a year of the issuance of the K-1 visa to the principal beneficiary.

This is true even if the K-1 beneficiary has subsequently married, provided the dependent child is still unmarried and under 21 years of age at the time of K-2 issuance.

If a dependent child of your Fiance seeks to enter the United States more than one year after your Fiance has received a K-1 visa, it will be necessary to file an immigrant visa petition for the child

Then you've received very bad information....obviously not from here on VJ.

One lists ALL children on the 129f and G325 forms, when filing the initial petition.

Then, on the DS-156K form back in the old days, or on the new online D-160 form, you list children are "To Join" (meaning come with the parent and which are "To Follow" (meaning will come later, but within a year's time of the parent's visa issuance).

The To Join children attend their medical and come to the Embassy interview with the parent.

The To Follow children stay home. When it is near their time to obtain a visa, the Embassy is notified and they do to their medical. Then they will have their own interview and have their visa placed into their passport.

This is the way it always have been.

Yes she will have issues at her POE since they will want to take her packet from her. This is a big problem.

Did they both interview together?

Hi Hank

Yes, both did medical and both have interviewed. We have the k2 visa in hand for her daughter.

I called an immigration lawyer and she said this will not be an issue. Pray tell she is right.

I have read that if you have a K-2 Visa, that you are free to join up to a year from the date the K-1 was issued - I would think regardless of wheter it is a join or a follow-to-join. I think they denote these terms so that you can decide to take your children with you and have the K2 issued at the same time - or wait until a later date and they could get their K2 issued later. Whether the k2 is issued now or 9 months from now, they both will expire a year from the K1 issuance date.

I have read scenarios on here (mainly people from Canada) where people were issued a K1 but they were still visitng their loved one without using the K1 visa (stating to the officer that they are not planning to use the K1 now, but at a later date - and entering the country by other visas or other means). Just off of my own uneasiness, I would not recommend doing this.

On the other hand, not sure if you would need another medical after waiting so long.

My advice. Call the consulate which issued your Visas. Explain your issue and present your questions. They should be able to assist.
