K-2.. advanced parole needed?

[shawna7 4]

I just had my interview last week in Montreal and my daughter and I were approved for our K-1 and K-2 visas. Here is where my question is. The Immigration officer who interviewed us told me that under the K-2 visa, my daughter was not under any travel restrictions, that she could go back and forth visiting her father. I have been doing some research and although I can not find anything specifically that she needs to wait for advanced parole I also can not confirm that she doesn't. Her K-2 visa says 1 entry like my K-1.. So..that doesn't sound good! Please anyone who can answer this it would be much appreciated.

He must have been thinking about the K4 or not thinking at all. You are correct that the K2 is single entry and they will not be able to leave the U.S. until they either have applied for adjustment and received AP or completed adjustment and have permanent residence.

Definitely bad information!!!

My K-2 daughter had to wait for her AP to be approved before she could return to Canada to visit her Dad and brothers.

K-2's need either AP or the GC to re-enter the U.S. after entry.

GC= Greencard.

Yeah, it usually takes a few months to get AP, sometimes sooner, sometimes a little more.

Best of luck!!!
