k2 HELP! K2 VISA, SHOULD I BRING MY CHILD WITH ME?

[P&R2017 409]

Hy guys, I hope someone can give me the correct answer...

 

On the inicial petition, I-129f  they ask if I have any children, I answered yes. The only thing they ask on the petition was her name, date of birth  and if she lives with me, by the time ahe did, but now she lives by herself.

Further they didn't ask any of her documents like they asked mine.

We got approved on Mach 28th and I'm waiting for NVC to receive my case.

 

My dilema is;

My daughter is 19 years old, she will be turning 20 in November 2018. 

She will not be able to go to the USA with me by the time I have my POE. Work related.

 

I do want to have the door open for her in the future if she decides to come live with me in the US, specially because I'm the only close family that she has. 

 

On the form DS-160 it asks if Someone is going to the US with me.

My question is:

1-Do I need to include her now on the form and she goes to the medical exame and to the interview me or can she have that later?

 

2-If she goes to the interview with me, after the approval can she extend the 6 month time to enter the US in case that she can not make it? I dont think she will make it... she only can come next year of ahe decides to come.

 

3-Or can I start her K2 process after I enter the US and get married?

 

I have so may question about that. I don't want to lose the opportunity to give her the freedom/choice to come live with me if she wants to. As I said we are just the 2 of us... and it would be very sad if once I'm there and she decides that she wants to come live with me in the future and it'll be to later for a visa because she will be older than 21.

 

I hope someone whent through a similar situation and can tell me how they did it...

Thanks in advance...

 

 

Ps:Sorry for my English..😎

Either on DS 160 or during the interview, you will have the option to let them know that your daughter will join you later, called “ K2 follow to join”. You daughter can then apply for K2 visa within one year after you have been granted the K1 visa. Of course she has to be under 21 during that time.

If she doesn’t apply for the visa within one year or she is no longer under 21, then it will take lots n lots of years to immigrate to US with family based petition.

So basically What you saying is that, I just answer on the DS-160 that I will be going alone to the US and don't mention her name and at the interview tell them that my daughter will apply for K2 after I arrived the US?

 

I hope I understand correct, because that gives her a little time to decide what she wants once Im in the US.

 

thanks
