Do dependent children receiving K-2 visas need to travel to the United States at the same time as the K-1 beneficiary?
A. No, eligible dependent children can travel to the United States on a K-2 visa issued within a year of the issuance of the K-1 visa to the principal beneficiary. This is true even if the K-1 beneficiary has subsequently married, provided the dependent child is still unmarried and under 21 years of age at the time of K-2 issuance. To schedule a visa interview for a dependent child, the principal applicant, the petitioner, or the child’s legal guardian must contact the Embassy at least one month prior to the requested interview date. If a dependent child of a Fiancé|e seeks to enter the United States more than one year after the Fiancé|e has received a K-1 visa, it will be necessary to file an immigrant visa petition for the child.
