提上來再請教小白兔,關於2年共同生活

從下麵關於養子的解釋,我的理解是隻要對孩子監管和一起生活2年,同時最終辦好了收養證明(無所謂何時辦的證明),就滿足為養子申請移民的條件. 我的理解對嗎? 謝謝白兔

An adopted child may enjoy immigration benefits based on the adoption if:

1. The adoption occurs prior to the child's 16th birthday;
2. The adoptive parents had have legal custody of the child for two years (before or after the adoption); and
3. The child had resided with the adoptive parent for two years (before or after the adoption).
