Not certain which visa to request

[PEREDERO 0]

Need a little direction on which visa to request or if needed at all.

 

Me: US citizen

Her: Mexican National w/ 2 kids

 

She is currently travels back and forth from Mexico to visit family and has a tourist visa which she will have to renew at the end of January. Initially it will only be her and the children at a later date. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Who is ‘her’? You wife? Your fiancée? Your sister? Your mother? 

How old are the kids? 
 

She does need a visa to live in the US, whoever she is. How long does she usually visit the US for and does she have a job?

Oh, in that case as one kid is already 18, you definitely want K-1 visa! That way, the 18-yr old will be able to come.

The 18 year old already has a tourist visa as well

Which is only good for visiting. As above, you should apply for K-1 for your fiancée - her kids will be K-2’s. 
 

There’s a guide at the top of the page which will help with the whole process. 
 

Good luck.

That’s not for immigrating.

Which is fine, as long as he/she only wants to visit as a tourist.

 

Your GF and her children need immigrant visas if they want to live here.
