Can my children come with me on a K-1 visa?

Yes, on K-2 visas, with no separate petition, if your fiancé(e) lists them on the I-129F. Each child must be unmarried and under 21, applies separately and pays the fee. They may travel with you or later, within 1 year of your K-1 being issued, but never before you.3,11
