我和老公已經交了485,現在是PENDING,我還有有效的H1B,如果我們現在回國辦收
養一個15歲的孩子,那麽孩子應該申請什麽身份來美呢?H4嗎?
-1. H4 visa: Techinvally, the adopted child needs to live with you for two years to be qualified for the H4 visa application, but I did know soem cases that the adopted child got the H4 visa immediately after the adoption. See this link:
2. B2 visa. The adopted child can apply for the B2 visa to enter US to live with you.
如果我們等拿到綠卡後再回去收養,那孩子應該申請什麽身份來美呢?
-Only try B2 visa in this case.
隻要孩子是16周歲前收養,來美和我們住兩年後,我們就可以給孩子FILE I-130,申請綠卡嗎?我們現在的485沒有包括這個孩子,不會對孩子有影響吧?
-If you adopt the child before he/she turn 16 years old and before your I-485 is approved, you do not need to file I-130 and the adopted child can file I-485 when your PD is current after he/she has lived with you for two years if he/she is in US with a valid status. Otherwise, you can file I-824 for the child to apply for the immigration visa in China.
If you adopt the child (孩子是16周歲前) after your I-485 is approved, then 孩子來美和 you住兩年後, you 可以給孩子FILE I-130,申請綠卡.
