K2 visa guide

[Jaime & Aisha 46]

I can't seem to find any information on the K2 process, or a check list. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thank you. That is very good.

The confusion was that it was too simple. Just add the child's name in with the mother's petition. Who would've thought it with a government document.

A follow on, in order to complicate an otherwise un-complicated matter.

My name is listed on the child's birth certificate as the father, and he is named after me (both my first and last, which make up middle and family name) as is custom in Ethiopia. I accepted this, along with the responsibility, as I wanted him to be viewed with respect in his family, etc.

I am not his father, who is not to be found 5 years later.

Any advice on how to proceed with documentation, and what I can expect along this Visa journey?

thank you...

K-2 or K-4 applicants are required to sign a form apprising them that entering into a marriage prior to obtaining adjustment of status will render them ineligible for adjustment as IR-2 or CR-2 immigrant visa (IV) applicants.
