Green Card for Adopted Child (US): I-130

Thinking of bringing your adopted child to the US? Here's how Form I-130 can help:

  • US Citizen/Green Card Holder Can Sponsor: You can petition for your child if you're a US citizen or green card holder.

  • Adoption Requirements: The adoption must be legal, completed before age 16 (or 18 in some cases), and with legal custody for at least 2 years (unless adopted by a step-parent).

  • Gather Documents: Adoption decree, proof of custody, and other relevant documents are needed.

  • After Approval: Your child can apply for a visa or green card (process varies).

Talk to an Immigration Attorney! Ensure your adoption meets US requirements for a smooth process.
