How the USCIS can help with Immigration through Adoption

Several questions have been raised on whether or not the USCIs have the capabilities of helping out with the immigration through adoption. This process is also known as inter-country adoption and it refers to adopting a child from another country and taking them into a new country so that they can live with the adoptive parents. As such, it is important to note that you can get help with the immigration process. Note that the US immigration law has three distinct provisions that allow any individual to immigrate to the US. While this is the case, the adoptee must also meet all the immigration requirements in order to qualify on the adoption basis.

US Adoptive Parents
It is important to note that children who are adopted from another country by parents who are US citizens are only required to go through two different processes. For starters, it is important to note that as soon as the child is adopted, they have the right to immigrate immediately. Alternatively, they might be allowed to move to the states and complete the inter-country adoption process there. In this case, note these processes can be broken down into two major categories and they include the following.

o Hague process: This is applied when the child is from a country that has been continuously featured on the inter-country adoption process. This was brought into effect on April 1, 2008. It is important to that a resident who wants to adopt a child from a country that is party to the Hague Convention has to meet this requirement before the adoption process is completed.
o Orphan process: This applies to a child who is an orphan and as such, is also known as the non-Hague process. It is important to note that there are certain requirements that have to be met for this process to be completed. Key among them has to confirm that the child is indeed an orphan under the US Immigration law. In addition to this, you must provide proof that you have the capabilities to take full responsibility for the child in every aspect.

At this point, it is important to state that in both instances, the USCIS ensures that the proper documentation is processed and approved to make your adoption effective. As a matter of fact, they will take you through the process by providing the necessary forms that you have to fill in. they also verify that you have obtained the legal rights to adopt the child.
