How to immigrate overseas adopted children to the United States?

In the past decade, the number of children adopted by American citizens or permanent residents from all over the world has increased steadily, with more than 20,000 children adopted each year. So far, more than 200,000 overseas adopted children live in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security and the Immigration Bureau played an important role in this process. There are two ways to bring overseas adopted children to the United States. Please pay attention to the differences between them so that you can successfully immigrate the adopted children to the United States: 1) You have lived with the adopted children for 2 years. If you adopted your child before he reached the age of 16 (or 18, as described below), and you lived with him as the main caregiver for 2 years, you can submit an I- 130 application for your child. Two years * * * same residence time, until the child's 16 birthday (or 18 birthday). Please note that children can only enter the United States if all relevant conditions are met. ) 2) The adopted child is an orphan. If the child you adopt or plan to adopt meets the legal meaning of orphan, you can submit an I-600 application for the child before his 16 birthday (or 18, as described below), even if the adoption procedure has not been completed (in some cases, the child can be adopted after entering the United States). Moreover, according to the regulations of some States, after a child enters the United States, he must register in the local court to complete the adoption procedures. It is worth noting that only American citizens can immigrate their children to the United States as orphans. In terms of age limit, American immigration law allows children under 16 to be adopted for immigration, but there are two exceptions: ★ If siblings of compatriots are adopted by the same parents, the age limit can be relaxed to18; ★/kloc-orphans over the age of 0/6 can be adopted, as long as the orphan's I-600 application is submitted before 16 birthday (if siblings of compatriots are adopted by the same parents, the application must be submitted before 18 birthday). Overseas adoption is a very complicated legal procedure, which should not only comply with the immigration law of the United States and the relevant regulations of the state where it is located, but also meet the legal requirements of the country where the child was born. If the adoption is not carried out in accordance with the laws of the country, then the child is not eligible for immigration. In Chinese mainland, all adoption procedures are handled by China Adoption Center (CCAA). They gave their children to foreigners for adoption. Without the procedure recommended by CCAA, foreign citizens may not decide and/or adopt children in advance. The China government also does not allow orphans to be adopted in the United States after leaving China. According to the Adoption Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), foreigners who adopt children and adopted children in China must meet certain conditions. Only children with China adoption certificates can obtain China passports and entry and exit permits from China authorities before issuing immigrant visas.
