Help please. K-1 question with complications

[Ayla_b628 0]

So 4 years ago I held a green card to live and work in the states based on the fact I was married to an America. We parted and I left, I wasn't kicked out or anything. I made a lot of friends there and have been in contact with a male friend whom I've known for several years. We're taking it to the next level. We're planning visits and what not. I now have a son but we would like to have me back and my son living in the states. Would I be eligible to live in the states again and bring my son? Any tips? I have full custody but realize I need permission or court order. How much for two people? Any knowledge will help.

Sure you can live there again and bring your son

You just have to start over with the visa process of either a k-1 or a Cr-1

It's unclear if you are asking if you can come back based on the green card your got from your ex-husband or if your boyfriend wants to bring you to the US on a fiancee visa. What do you mean by "taking it to the next level?" Marriage or just dating?

No I want to know if it's possible that when we're engaged he is able to sponsor me and my son to come to America even though I once held a card. Also costs involved for two people

If he meets the requirements as a sponsor then yes. But you can't just move done there before the visa applications are done.

So either you get married first or you get married when you have your fiancee visa.

No one can tell you the cost before they know what visa you will be applying for. But children need their own medical and visa.

Well I know k-1 for fiancé and I believe cr-1 for marriage which I'm familiar with that cost. How much is k-1 and what paperwork for my son if you can point me in that direction, thank you.

He only have to be mentioned on the I-129F when you sent it in. After that he needs his medical (don't know the Canadian price for that) He needs his own DS-160 which is $265 like yours and the once you have married he also needs his own AOS if that is sent in the same time as yours then his price will be $635 where your price is $1,070.

And then there are other cost like passport pictures, vaccines, trips and so on.

If you choose the K-1 then he will become a K-2

Thank you for your insight. I just read though the k-1 costing around 2500 for me and my son, only grants access for 90 days, but not a green card? Does that mean we have to pay additional fees for that as well? Would it not be simpler to do a visa already married? If so, which forms for that? I am trying to see the sponsor requirements as well

Thank you for your insight. I just read though the k-1 costing around 2500 for me and my son, only grants access for 90 days, but not a green card? Correct. You would need to marry your USC petitioner and file to adjust status in order to get green cards for you and your son. Does that mean we have to pay additional fees for that as well? Yes. You would need to pay to adjust status for you and your son. Would it not be simpler to do a visa already married? IMHO - yes. A spousal visa would allow you to work immediately but it takes longer to get than the K1. You would not be able to work or travel internationally for about 90 days after you marry and file for the EAD/AP when you adjust. If so, which forms for that? Starts with an I-130. There are other forms. I am trying to see the sponsor requirements as well

Look at the comparison between the fiancee visa and the spousal visa. There are pros and cons to both. It's up to you to decide which is better for you. Some people choose the fiancee visa while others choose the spousal visa. Depends on their situations. http://www.visajourney.com/content/compare
