Let's talk a bit about immigration today.


Nope..., unfortunately no news from the U.S.C.I.S.


Just today I'm doing another big step about my case.
I already told you almost all my knowledge about the K1 (fiancé) visa process. But at this time I didn't told you about the K2.

K2?

What is she talking about?

As you maybe know, I have 2 daughters. A big one, Natacha, she's 20 and a little one, Gally, she's 5 and half (I have to say the half, 'cause if not she'll yell at me). Natacha will not follow me to the U.S.A or maybe later when she'll have finished her studies.
But Gally, yes! So, she is on the K2 visa process. The K2 is "The visa category for the minor children of a K-1 visa holder". OK, 'till there nothing too complicated.

But!

Do you think really that you can immigrate with your child just, like that?

No, not really!

You'll have to prove that the other parent allows you to do that.

When we was preparing the petition, I searched all the informations I was able to find about that.
Like, what kind of paperworks will be efficient as a proof.
I didn't found officials informations... I have to say... again... that U.S.C.I.S's website and embassy's websites are badly incomplete...
I read that an authenticated letter from the other parent would be sufficient.
But, as I didn't want to take the risk to be denied. I decided to do it in the most official way.

So right now, I'm writing the draft of that post on a notepad sitting in the bus. I'm on the way to the family court.


Gally's dad and I we hired a lawyer to write our agreement. Today, after almost 3 months waiting, we have our appointment with the "Juge Aux Affaires Familiales", the family judge, to legalize our agreement. Like that I'll have a court order that allows me to immigrate with my little sweetheart.
My guess is that I can't have a better proof than that.

...

Now, I'm in the court waiting room. I feel good even if I'm a little bit stressed. I'm pretty sure all will be OK, but 'till all of that will be done, there's still a risk that Gally's dad change his mind.

It's right now 10:20, the appointment is at 10:30...

OK, keep cool, all will be good.

Lawyer arrive, Gally's dad arrive...

...

After a while the clerk calls us.

We enter in a simple office, the judge was waiting us with a nice smile on her face. After we greeted ourselves all and named. She read the agreement and said that it seems that we both agree with everything. With our positive answer, she informed us whereas she will ratify the request on May 19.
And we left the office.

DONE!

Now I just have to wait the lawyer call to have the final order.

I feel better now, i can breathe. I'm completely able to immigrate in the U.S.A with my little love.
