Title: American Status Change
Post by: shaun on April 22, 2011, 10:07:52 pm

I have a question.  If a woman comes to America on  K-1 Visa.   (Fiance Visa) You get married and you file a status change.   It cost $1000.00.  Do you have to pay $1000.00 for each child that comes with her too?

Shaun,

Linda's was 1000 and Ziwei' was another 600.  I assume that it would be 600 per child.

I didnt have to pay because I brought Jings son to the US on a seperate i-130 application but from what I am reading here you need to pay for both.

Your eligible children may receive K-2 visas based on the approval of Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), that your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) filed on your behalf, but your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) must list the children on the petition. After your marriage, your children will need to file separately from you for adjustment of status. They cannot be included on your application for adjustment of status. More information about adjustment of status is available on USCIS’s website under Green Card (Permanent Residence). http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=ae853ad15c673210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=ae853ad15c673210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=ae853ad15c673210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=ae853ad15c673210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD)
