Bringing Your Children with a K-1 Visa

Thinking of bringing your kids to the US with your K-1 visa? Here's what you need to know:

You can apply for a K-1 visa (fiancé(e) visa) even if you have children. However, they need separate K-2 visas to join you.

Include Them in Your Petition: When filing Form I-129F, mention your unmarried children under 21 who will come with you (include their names and other details).
Separate K-2 Visa Application: Each child needs a K-2 visa application submitted at a US embassy/consulate after your K-1 approval.
K-2 Visa Requirements: Your children must be unmarried and under 21 when applying. They must also plan to live in the US with you.
Supporting Documents: Prepare documents like birth certificates, photos, and medical exam results for each child's K-2 visa application. You might also need proof of your relationship and financial ability to support them.
Visa Interview: Each child will have a visa interview where they might be asked about their relationship to you, their US stay plans, and other relevant details.
Traveling to the US: Once approved, your children can travel with you or join you later. They will enter as K-2 nonimmigrants and can stay for the duration of your authorized K-1 visa stay.

Important Note:

By following these steps, you can increase your chances of a smooth process for bringing your children with you on your K-1 visa journey.
