How Can I Bring My Son to U.S. after My Marriage to a U.S. Citizen?

Help Desk:

I entered US with K-1 visa to marry a US citizen. I have a son in my home country. How can I bring my son to US after my marriage to a U.S. citizen?


Answer:

The K-2 visa is for children of alien fiancée. You son can apply for K-2 visa to enter U.S. The cut-off date for issuance of a K-2 visa is 1 year from the date of the issuance of your K-1 visa. After 1 year, the filing of an immediate relative or second preference immigrant visa petition would be required for the children.

All children under 21 years old and unmarried of the alien fiancée classified K-1 must be listed on the K visa petition. The children must be present at the interview. A marriage certificate of the beneficiary along with the rest of the required documentation must be provided as a requisite for the child's visa. The child accompanying the K-1 beneficiary may acquire K-2 status even after the beneficiary has married the U.S. citizen petitioner and acquired lawful permanent resident status in the U.S.
