The US K2 Visa in Thailand allows children of a K1 Fiancée Visa holder to enter the United States. This while waiting for an immigrant visa to be available for them. To be eligible for this type of visa. The applicant should be an unmarried child of the K1 Visa applicant holder. They should be under 21 years old as well. Children of a fiancée have the chance to obtain a K2 Visa from the parent’s fiancée petition.
The US national who is petitioning is mandated to include the names of the children in the I-129F petition. Once the Thai fiancée and the American national is married, the children of the fiancée are required to obtain a separate Application to Register Permanent Residence (Form I-485) or commonly known as an Adjustment of Status.
The children can choose whether to accompany the K-1 parent or join the K-1 parent in a span of one year from the date of issue. If the children choose to bypass the one year limit, then a separate immigrant visa petition will be necessary. For the child to qualify for the K2 Visa, the child is required to be single. The marriage between the Thai fiancée and the US national should happen before the child reaches the age of 21.
The US K2 Visa in Thailand brings many advantages. You can opt to live in the United States with your parent until she marries the US national. A K-2 visa holder can apply for work documents or the EAD by completing and submitting the Form I-765.
