K1 visa follow to join

[Glenda and Tony 4]

Good morning,

Has anyone had the experience of marrying on a K1 visa and bringing thier child to the US at a later date but within the year timeframe? My husbands children were included on the petition but did not come when he came. They told us we had a year to bring the kids over on the K1 petition so I just wanted to know, do I just complete their DS-160 for their visa and once approved they can come? I read where it said, children under 13 did not need an interview. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hundreds of people on here have done follow to join.  You begin with the Consulate stage of the process that the k1 previously did.  So yes, the DS160 is the starting point. 

 

The interview age varies by consulate but age 14 or older is the most common.

Just remember that the K2s MUST be issued within one year of the K1 issued date.

Yes, thank you so much! We are working on it now and since the children will not need interviews, I am hoping it can be issued shortly after completing medical appointments. Thanks again! Your help is greatly appreciated.
