If your fiancée’s children do not wish to move to the U.S. immediately, they can wait to apply for K-2 visas and relocate at a later time. However, to remain eligible for K-2 visas, they must enter the U.S. and establish permanent residence no later than one year from the date your fiancée’s K-1 visa was approved.

Of course, children may also enter the U.S. at the same time as your fiancée.

After you are married, you must file separate applications for adjustment of status for your spouse and each of his or her children in order for them to obtain Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status. Even if a child turns 21 while in the U.S. before becoming an LPR, they can still file for adjustment of status as long as they were under 21 years of age when they received their K-1 and K-2 visas.

To avoid complications with a child’s visa application, it is strongly recommended that you work with an experienced fiancé(e) visa lawyer or immigration attorney. A skilled immigration attorney can guide your future spouse through the process of successfully relocating their family to the U.S., starting with the application for a fiancé(e) visa.
