Well its over now

[James&Edlie 2]

So after being here 2 months my wife has decided that not to tell me she no longer loved me but let me continue to carry on, taking care of her and her family, sending her home to bring her son, and then dropping the bomb on me on New Years Eve. So, she has her green card, but I have not done the AOS for him and won't. My question is this, how long is his K2 visa good for?

Sadly not uncommon.

 

90 days

90 days from date of entry?, and if so what happens when it expires?

He becomes illegal.

thank you for your response

Although minors accrue no overstay until they turn 18, though they are unlawfully present.

Although not explicitly in the question . . . this might be a 'classic' case of immigration fraud.  I would make sure early on that the Feds know that she has no intention to remain your wife.   It really sucks that this happened . . . good luck.

She has been here 12 months but not a lot he can do now, her immigration issues are hers and her sons.

 

She could send him back and petition him herself.

Almost a weekly occurrence heard hear on VJ.

 

Sadly in most cases I don't think they even care if they become illegal. For most the end goal is getting feet on US soil by any means necessary. There is a strong enough network here where an illegal can make a living.

K-2 visa was invalidated the moment the child cleared POE.   The child's legal status after entry is governed by the I-94, check that to see when it expires

Almost to common it seems.  I wish once a K1 enters the USA and gets married they would issue work authorization only, and make the green card a 3 year wait until it is received.

That would be really unfair. It's hell being in a limbo, without a real legal status, waiting for your life to begin.

the immigrant leaves everything behind and start over here, that's a big deal.

even though a lot of them around vj come from poor countries, don't have much, etc, still they give up a lot to be here and they need the means to live comfortably and legally here

I understand the limbo period. It wouldn't change under my plan.  Instead of getting a greencard you get a EAD/AP so you can work and travel and get bank accounts, etc.  It just you have to wait 3 years to apply for a GreenCard.

 

They offer something similar right now under DAPA for illegals who came to the country, they give them work authorization and free from deportation.

This makes sense for you because you're not the immigrant. Having an EAD only helps to be able to work and get a few documents here and there. It's the worst not being here rightfully legally and waiting for a decision, not knowing if you have to go back to a country where you have nothing else there, where you have to start all over again. 

People need to know each other better and build better relationships before deciding to take this huge of a step

I agree people need to build better relationship before doing a K1. You just see way too many people getting taken advantage of.

 

I wouldn't worry about your AOS, Once you made it to USA it is over.  They don't usually require a interview to be approved GreenCard, especially if are from Philippines.
