k2 following and fiance's adustment of status

[dvddvd 0]

hello,

my wife came to the states on a fiance visa back in july. we married 3 weeks ago (well within the 90 day window). we have plans to bring her daughter to the states in the very near future. we included her daughter in all of the paperwork for my now wife's k1 fiance visa. (checking the planning to follow box. etc.)

today, i heard that we cannot bring her daughter here on a k2 visa once we have started the adjustment of status process for my wife. is this true? should we get her daughter to the states first and then apply to adjust my wife's status (+ her daughter's)??

i hope this makes sense and that someone here can clarify the process.

thanks,

dvd

No, that isn't true. It's not even logical since a child has up to a year to obtain the K-2 after the K-1 is issued yet the K-1 must marry within 90 days of entry to the US. It would hardly be practical for the K-1 to hang in limbo during that time to await the arrival of a K-2.

Go ahead and begin the AOS process for your wife. At this point for the K-2 I believe you just need to contact the Embassy to notify them the K-2 interview needs to be scheduled and begin the process but hopefully those that actually went through the follow-to-join process will chime in to confirm.

You need to stop listening to whomever told you this
