CDJ - DS-260 How many? One for Fiancee K1 and One for Child K2?

[Lety and Ed 2]

Hi Friends,

I tired searching around for this but really didn't find a clear answer.

Do I need to fill out one DS-260 for my Fiancee and also fill out a different DS-260 for her child?

Thank you,

Ed

I have no experience with filling out forms for a K-2, so if no one comes along to answer you, I suggest contacting CDJ to get an answer to what all is required for a K-2 going through their consulate. I am going to guess yes, because a K-2 also has to pay the $240 visa processing fee.

To my understanding 1 for her and the child. Will do. Since you have to list that child is flowing or will follow your fiancé But you have to pay 2 fees at embassy

O.k. now I'm confused...

I did not think you would pay the visa fees at the consulate or embassy. I thought that all visa fees had to be paid in advance of the ASC interview and that the visa fees could be paid via the website http://mexico.usvisa-info.com or at certain mexico banks or by telephone.

My guess is also that I would do a DS-260 for the K2.

I could wait till Monday to call CDJ but I was hoping to get everything done over the weekend.

You do not pay at the embassy. You can pay the fee online, by phone or at a Scotiabank or Banamex Mexican bank in person. You will need the MRV payment receipt number to validate your payment at http://mexico.usvisa-info.com before you can attend your interview. http://photos.state.gov/libraries/ciudadjuarez/231771/PDFs/packetk1may.pdf

They are not clear about what a K-2 needs in the instructions. I was hoping someone that went through Juarez with a K-2 would come along to help you out.

This is a sample of the DS-260. It does ask about children and if they are immigrating with you, so I just do not know. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/49845403/DS-260-screen-shots

Hi Jay-Kay,

I was hoping for the same thing. I am actually quite surprised at how little information there seems to be regarding K2 visas AT CDJ and people's experiences.

Ah Ha! Found it!

From the FAQ on the CDJ site http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/faqiv260.html

It is very clear... You must complete one DS-260 for the fiancee K1 and complete one DS-260 for each child K2.

• 8. I AM TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY. CAN I CREATE A FAMILY APPLICATION?

  • No. Each member attending an immigrant visa interview must have their own, separate DS 260. This includes children.

Great, glad you managed to dig through the site and find an answer. The K-1 is a non-immigrant visa, but it is treated as an immigrant visa at CDJ, and since they require the DS-260 for a K-1 as well, looks like the K-2 needs their own too. Good luck to you guys!

Hi Kay,

Thanks for the help with everything. I had a few more questions so I sent you a PM.

Best Regards,

Thank you so much for finding the information Ed. I will be doing the same thing too. My fiancée has 2 kids and she's bringing them with her. I'll like to keep in touch with you to see how you did. Good luck with everything Ed !!

Hi Christian,

You definitely need to complete one DS-260 for each child and of course one for your fiancee. When you first log in to the state department website https://ceac.state.gov/iv/ to completed the DS-260 forms, you should see your fiancee and each child listed on the page right after you log in.

We actually now have our appointments scheduled for the ASC and the consulate.

I'll give you a couple of tips...

1. When you log in to the https://usvisa-info.com/en-MX/selfservice/ss_country_welcome site to pay your visa fees and to schedule appointments you must first "create account" there is a link at the top of the page to do this. Here is the page https://usvisa-info.com/en-MX/selfservice/login

2. You will be asked to enter the applicant's name. This will be the name and information for your fiancee in Mexico. DO NOT enter the U.S. Petioners name information here. See the attached file CSC Visa Information Service - New Account_2013-06-25_22-48-00.png

3. Make sure you enter all of the requested information correctly. It is very important that you get the passport number correct. I recommend entering the data on the form and then before clicking the submit button, that you take a screen capture and then save the screen capture. That way if you do make a mistake, you will still be able to log in with the information you entered as shown in the screen capture. (To do a screen capture, press ALT-Prtsc and then open your paint program and click on paste. Make sure to save the image for future reference.)

4. VERY IMPORTANT - eventually you will see a place to add additional family members. It is very important that you do this before you schedule an appointment. You will save yourself a lot of trouble if you add family members prior to scheduling an appointment. If you try to add family members after you have already scheduled the appointment then you will have to cancel your already scheduled appointment and then reschedule it.

IF YOU GET TO THE PART WHERE YOU PAY FOR THE VISAS AND YOU HAVE NOT ADDED YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS THEN YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR!!! YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND ADD YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS (K2 Children) BEFORE PAYING AND SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS.

5. After you have added all of your family members then you can pay. Once you pay, you can see the calendar with available consulate interview dates. You can now select your date for your interview. One thing I didn't know, is that first the website had me pick the date for the Consulate Interview. I picked a date and then went on to pick the ASC appointment date. I actually then found out there were only a limited number of available dates for the ASC appointment that would work for us.

6. Somewhere as your are going through the site, I think just after you create an account the website will ask you a question about purpose of travel or visit to consulate, I can't quite remember how it was worded, but pick the answer "IMMIGRANT CONSULATE HAS ASKED YOU TO SCHEDULE - FIANCE OF US CITIZEN"

Hope this is helpful.

Best Regards,

Ed
