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).
