How do children fit into the K1 visa process?

[Barry and Lynn 1]

My fiancee has two children.  One will start college this year in the Philippines, and the other will be graduating from high school next year.  I would like to get visas for both.  I am just starting out the K1 visa process, but I know her children can be part of her process if they are under 21.  Right now I am just trying to get all of the paperwork together for the K1 but I also will need to include them in the process at some point.  When in the process do I start  their application for visas?

You can search on VJ for answers.  Lots of threads on K-2.

1) List them on the I-129F (this is required even if they aren't coming)

2) After NOA2 and NVC, the beneficiary fills out a DS-160 for the K-1.

3) Beneficiary fills out a DS-160 for each K-2 child (if under a certain age), or they fill out their own DS-160s.

4) Everybody gets their medicals, police clearances, BCs, etc.

5) Interviews.

 

The children can do steps 3+ at the same time as the K-1 beneficiary, or up to 1 year after the K-1 is issued. They must still be under 21, obviously.
