Okay so I have a question about a K2 visa for my SO's son.  When we originally filed my SO's K1 Visa app., we included his son's name on the app, but at the time had decided not to have him come.  When we were approved at the embassy the consular officer said we had one year to bring his son to the U.S. is we decided.   My question is, we still have not reached the year yet and think it may be time to bring him here.  Any idea if the CO was correct on saying we had one year to add his son???  Even though my SO is already here and we are already married, plus we never handed in a passport for his son or had medical done???  I know I could just file an I-130 and start that process to bring my stepson, but the CO's comment about bringing him here within a year always sticks in my mind.  Any idea??

Thanks!!

Don't file the I-130, he has derivative status from the K1, but you MUST bring him to the USA before the time runs out. I believe you will just have to hand in the passport at Window 27, but let me check it for you.

Since it sounds like you have not actually completed the derivaive paperwork, you will need to complete all of the necessary forms and have the medical done at Consultorios de Visa as if you were doing it all at the same time as you did your spouse's application.

The specific steps for SDO are laid out here: http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/follow_to_join_procedures.html

Derivative status most usually has to be done within a year of the K1 visa that was issued or K3 per a post that I can not locate right now by Mr. Bent
(Modify .. Stated in link brluka provided also)

With K1 or K3 you must do AOS just like you did with your Fiance now Spouse .. So you will spend the $1010.00 plus medical and bp fees

If you haven't done so already in my opinion just petition for the child with the I130 and bring the child in with his/her GC instead of going through the whole AOS

I130 is 355 plus NVC 470 .. 16 banco popular and medical .. And you are done with it

K2 .. Medical plus  130 (?) Banco popular and 1010 for aos

Its all up to you ...

Ok , so we decided to follow the "follow to join procedures" for the K2 visa, Called the Visa Info center, and we sent a packet directly to the Embassy in the D.R. as instructed with the necessary documents.  What do you think the next step will be??  Do we just wait for the Interview packet, or is there a way to check on the status??  Any advice??

Try calling the visa specialist to see if they have entered the receipt of the paperwork in the system .. you would need to wait for correspondence to go for medical .. take results and BP fees along with passport .. you will get a open cita most likely from what I recall on a previous follow to join K4 ..

However they were able to get the medical done for the minor with the ORIGINAL cita package .. you may be able to do the same IF the child's name was on the cita package

Good that you have tracking .. It may take a couple of days for it to be put in the system ..

You may also want to follow up with a fax letter stating case and names and that requested documents were sent and received such date .. To please confirm and advise on expected next steps

Sorry buddy seperate fee, depends on her age.

Applicants under 14 years of age: - Filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $600

Thanks May I just saw that on the USCIS new website. At least it is not another G. She is under 14 so it will be the extra $600. Beware of the K1 people. See if you have another alternative.
