ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey all...entering into the fray to get the wife and two kids back in the country. Here are the details:

The wife has valid Non-O until June 16th with a re-entry permit (she's a follow-on from mine).

The kids are 5 and 7 and have the same follow-on visa.

Have medical insurance and all that. Already have a return flight that we can change at no charge if needed. Plenty of ASQs to choose from.

I just need to know if EACH person has to do the COE process or just the wife and the kids are included. I'm using the [members only] website.

Thanks all....
