Eligibility for a K-2 Visa
Those who have unmarried children who are under 21 may be eligible for a K-2 Visa and come with you to the United States. The children do not have to be the biological children of the fiancé of the United States. When the K-2 Visa application process refers to “children,” it means natural children, adopted children and any children who were born to you. Children are eligible as long as your home country recognizes them as yours. You are responsible to complying with laws of your home country if the other parent still lives there. |
Proof of Relationship
When a child is coming with the immigrating K-1 parent, there needs to be proof of the relationship. A parent can accomplish this by providing a birth or adoption certificate. In terms of the Fiancé Visa, the same paperwork is needed, and there will be fees for each child that will need to be paid. For situations where the other parent of the children are not leaving the home country, compliance with that country’s custody laws are required. For cases where the children are in an immigrating parent’s custody, a written form of consent from the other parent may be required for the children to leave the home country. |
