Children were added to i129f

[Lukus 6]

Another question and I hope someone can answer this question and maybe answer some questions for someone else.

My fiance has 2 children from a previous relationship, and the dad left the kids alone. My fiance and I have a child together and I am working on his USA Passport. My fiance's lovely children were added to the i129f and the i129f was approved, and the NVC approved the i129f and was submitted to the US Embassy in Manila.

Does anyone know what the next step will be, we are just worried about the children, do we need to submit different forms or is there a different procedure, because it appears everything is starting to move faster and we just want to be prepared.

Thank you

If the two children have immigration intentions, either to join with the mother or to follow later, they are added to the DS-160 online form she/you will fill out. Then they need medicals and visa fees paid just like the mother.

Baron555,

Thank you very much for this. Yes the kids will come, but my fiance was reading stuff online that stated they will need to fill out a K2 visa and submit it to uscis. I was trying to let her know that was if we were going to petition the kids after her Visa was approved.

I am a Wounded Warrior in the hospital after I was injured overseas, and I am attempting to do allot of this, because before I was deployed I had paid an Attorney to do paper work and he had disappeared from me, and cannot locate him GRRRRR. But I did locate an attorney, Robert Brown LLC heard about my story and was willing to do all paper work Pro-Bono. They did it all, but I just like to ask other people advice.

Baron Thank you for the help.

This sight is great, I just keep forgetting how to get to add new topic, LMAO

There isn't any K-2 paperwork. ALL children are listed on the 129f form, regardless of immigration intent. The child you two had together would also be listed.

Then when you fill out the DS-160 online form, you list which are to receive a K-2, and if they are To Join with the mother (come along with) or To Follow (immigrate within 1 year of the mother's K-1 date). Then you pay for their medical and their visa fees. If they are To Join, then they will accompany the mother to her interview. If they are To Follow, you email the Embassy some weeks before they intend to come and schedule their interview. It's really that simple.

baron555,

Thanks again for your help. This sight is very helpful. This is what I was hoping will be the answer, because the Attorney Katie Russell from Robert Brown LLC did not mention anything different but my fiance was so worried about the kids because they do not have any where to live in Philippines and i will not let her leave them there alone. No way.

Thanks again,

"There's nothing worse than waiting and not knowing what'll happen to you. Your own imagination can be crueler than any other pain"

Please keep up with the good work with giving us a ease at mind.

Here is a link to some good general information about the K2 process at the interviewing embassy/consulate level: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/types/family/fiance-k-1.html

You may want to check in at the Phil. Regional Forum and inquire about any specific K2 requirements from the USEM: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/ One potential concern is to assure legal documentation for the "2 children from a previous relationship" to immigrate to the US, either from the Phil. court system, or the father. In our own case, my wife got a notarized letter from her son's father authorizing the son's US immigration. She had sole legal custody for greater than 8 years, and little contact for a number of years. The US government will not want to get into an international child custody issue.

YMMV.

Good luck on your immigration issue.

A&B,

I do understand that and yes she has all the documents from an Attorney regarding all this. They do not even have the fathers name because he had disappeared. The Birth Certs have my fiance name.

Thanks again so you think I can copy the same message and post it over there?

The process is the same for the K2 as the K1 with some minor differences relating to age. For details on the process in Manila follow the flashing arrow below, everything is listed there.

In the Philippines the mother has sole custody of the children, so nothing is needed from the father.

Ok I understand but will I need to submit a whole different packet to USCIS? Just like the i129F becasue in the i129F the kids are there.

Thanks Hank_

Sorry, I thought you were past the USCIS phase.

No just one packet for your fiancee. For USCIS you list the children on the I-129F, there is a whole section for this.

No problema...

Hank is the mang when it comes to the Philippines!

Review the DOS informative link I previously gave you. It gives a good overview of the whole K2 process.

oh yes I am past that, it just my fiance something and she was worried. We do have the kids on the i129f and the attorney did all that i was just tell here she was reading to deep into it. so basically we just so onto the US Embassy portion and then we just have to add the kids on a different type of visa and this is the K2 for children and K1 is for the fiance.

I was just trying to make my fiance more at ease because she was reading to deep into what she saw.

I really appreciate you guys returning messages so quickly.
