K-2 Visa for Child of Fiancé(e)

22.07.2025 14:14:54 In the context of U.S. immigration, a K-2 visa is issued to the unmarried children under 21 years old of a K-1 visa holder (fiancée of a U.S. citizen). If your fiancée's child turns 21 before their K-2 visa is approved or before they enter the United States, they may "age out" and no longer be eligible for the K-2 visa. Here are some steps you might consider: 1. **Contact an Immigration Attorney**: It's crucial to consult with an immigration attorney who can provide guidance specific to your situation and help explore any possible options. 2. **Child Status Protection Act (CSPA)**: This act provides some protection against aging out by potentially freezing the age of the child at certain points in the process. However, its applicability can be complex and depends on various factors. 3. **Alternative Visa Options**: If aging out occurs, you may need to look into other types of visas or immigration options that could allow them to come to or stay in the United States legally. 4. **Expedited Processing**: In some cases, it might be possible to request expedited processing from USCIS due to special circumstances, though this is not guaranteed. 5. **Adjustment of Status**: If they are already in the U.S., explore whether adjusting status while still under 21 might offer any benefits or protections under current laws. It’s important to address these issues proactively well before the child turns 21 if possible, as navigating immigration processes can take time and require careful planning.

22.07.2025 14:38:37 For a K-2 visa, the child must be under 21 at the time of entry into the U.S., not just when the petition is filed. Unfortunately, if the child turns 21 before the visa is issued and used, they may age out and become ineligible under K-2 rules. There is no automatic protection under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) for K visas. To avoid this, act quickly — prioritize the child’s case during processing or consider alternative options like family-based petitions after marriage. Consult an immigration attorney immediately if time is running short.
