我侄兒現在3歲，他父母經濟狀況不好，又無暇帶孩子。我和先生無子女，今後也不會有了，很想收養侄兒來美。但我們都是美國公民，聽說這種收養手續及其繁瑣昂貴。
-But the child can get the immigration visa (green card) immediately after the adoption.
我父母現在已經綠卡3年，他們一半時間在美跟我們住，一半時間在中國跟侄兒他們住，不知道他們是否可以隔代收養他來美？
-Yes, but your parents needs to live with the child for at least two years, then your parents can sponsor the child' green card. Then, still take about 3 years to get the green card. Also. your parents have no income which is a negative factor in the adoption.
So, I strongly suggest you and your spouse to adopt the child. Just find an immigration lawyer to help you.
如果可以，這個是否會快捷些？
我現在也在為侄兒一家申請F4親屬移民，2006年底開始排隊，眼見排期越來越慢，團聚之日遙遙無期。不知8老師對F4排期有何看法，覺得他們何時可以排到。
-You may still need 5 to 6 years from now on for your F4 排期可以排到. You may just wait for your your F4 排期 and not adopt the child. The child can get the immigration visa with his parents at his age of 8 to 9 years old.
