Children of Fiancee - K-2 Visa

to enter the U.S. and await the availability of an immigrant
visa.
A child must be
- Under 21 years old
- Unmarried
- Seeking to immigrate to the U.S.
Note: K-1 children may stay in the U.S. on a K-2 visa for a

Fiancée
do not marry within 90 days, K-1 children must depart the
U.S. together with your Fiancée.

to attend if he/she isunder the age of 14.

to the U.S. with the K-1 parent immediately, but will follow later.
- The cut-off date for issuance of a K2 visa is 1 year from the
date of the K-1 visa issuance to the principal alien.
