Do dependent children need to receive K-2 visa at the same time as the K-1 beneficiary?
A. No, eligible dependent children can receive a K-2 visa 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 the petitioner, provided the dependent child is still unmarried and under 21 years of age at the time of the K-2 issuance. If a dependent child of your fiancé(e) seeks to enter the United States more than one year after your fiancé(e) has received a K-1 visa, it will be necessary to file an immigrant visa petition for the child.
