US Immigration from Kenya

Good news! Our I-130 was approved yesterday after only 81 days!!! This is way ahead of our foreseen schedule (good problem to have). We want to have my wife come first and get settled. Do the kids also have to come within 6 months or do we have a year from Visa approval?

Adoption isn't going to work here for multiple reasons. Age is just one disqualification here.

There's really 2 possible paths for him to immigrate in the "near" future from a technical standpoint:

1) She enters on the CR-1 visa and immediately files for him. If he is under 21 still he may be able to qualify under F2A. ETA: ~2 years currently (and certainly may change by that time). If he ages out into F2B, expect closer to 5-7 years.

2) Divorce (it must be finalized and both be free to marry) and do a K-1 visa. He qualifies as a child still so long as the visa is issued before he turns 21.*

*this a very highly irregular path, let alone all the disadvantages of K-1 and any possible questions that may arise about the relationship (although personally I'm not as worried about that...the circumstances can be explained).

The main issue here is a quick google search implies the timeline for a divorce in India would likely mean he turns 21 before the K-2 visa would be issued. If so....or if that is even a reasonable possibility, then this option is moot.

My daughter and I got K2&K1 visa in February.we were to travel on 16th April our government grounded all outbound and inbound international flights on 23rd march.Our flight were canceled.my daughter will be turning 21 years old on may 8th. What implications does this have on her turning 21 yrs on getting residential documents.

Hi everyone,

My fiance was waiting for his appointment that was scheduled for April 8th but unfortunately, COVID-19 happened and the consulate closed indefinitely. My question is, with the new executive order to suspend immigration for 60 days, will those whose visa appointments were canceled be affected as well? In other words, will those people who do not have their k 1 Visa's yet be affected?

Thank you kindly,

Fellow Vjer!

Trump to be sign an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!. Does this mean spousal and fiance visas cases currently mid process will be affected, etc.?
