How do accompanying children apply for an L-shaped visa in the United States?

You need to apply for an L2 visa for the accompanying children.

Specific requirements and implementation methods are as follows:

After foreigners get the L 1 visa at the American consulate, the accompanying family members can go to the American consulate and get the L2 visa at the same time.

However, it is best to apply for an L2 visa for your spouse and children six months after you arrive in the United States.

Because the United States pays attention to human nature, they will think it is immoral for a couple or a family to be separated for a long time. Therefore, it is more in line with the humanitarian spirit of the United States to apply for their entry into the United States after you have left your family for a period of time, and the possibility of refusing a visa is greatly reduced. Immigration officials will ask your family to produce a copy of your I94 card to prove when you arrived in the United States.

When applying for an L2 visa, family members still need to call the Visa Service Center of the US Consulate to make an appointment for an interview, and they should also bring the following materials:

① Documents that can prove the principal applicant (L 1 visa): a copy of your visa, a copy of your L 1 immigration approval, a copy of your passport, form I20, DS20 19 or I797 and your business card.

② Household registration book, original marriage certificate, photos proving family relationship, original birth certificate at birth and any other original materials, one-child certificate, vaccination and health certificate.

The main visa applicant should have enough effective funds to support the relevant relatives, and family members will not become the economic burden of the US government during their stay in the United States, or have records of illegal work.

I hope my answer can help you.
