medical exam/interview for K1 and K2 (split topic)

[Veex 0]

Please correct me if I am wrong with the understanding that: (1) if the K1 and K2 visas were issued at the same time - it means that the K1 awarded person travels with their K2 dependents AT THE SAME time to enter US? (2) The follow to join means after the K1 visa was awarded to the parent, there is a one-year application period for K2 visa application?

In case (1) should the K1 ans K2 applicant come altogether for the medical exams and interview?

In case (2) will the K2 applicant have a separate medical exam and interview?

OR is it possible to have the K2 medical exam and interview the same time the parent apply for K1 visa then just apply for K2 visa within the one year period? Is this the case or the follow to join K2 visa applicants really should have their medical exams and interview different from their K1 parent? Thanks

Yes

It seems that these two didn't understand and both obviously had their medicals and attended the K-1 interview and now the K-2 has a visa when they didn't actually want it now. The ONLY thing that they can do is to CONTACT the Embassy and explain their error and ask to have the K-2 visa removed from the child's passport and be noted in the file that they really want a K-2 To Follow at a later date. The child may need to retake the medical and pay the visa fee again but again, something went wrong. The OP has been silent on this issue and on any contact that has been attempted with the Embassy. This K-2 stuff is not hard. Kiev is an easy Embassy so contacting them should be the same.

So if I opt for K2 Follow to JOin, i will go without my daughter to the medical exams and interview. We are just to start with the K1/K2 application. Just to clarify =) Thank You!

Yes. When the K-2 is ready, then contact the Embassy and they will schedule their interview. Don't wait until the bitter end of the 1 year period of your K-1 expiration.
