Adopted child I-130 approved

[kuyawes 0]

Hello everyone:

New to this. My I-130 was approved for my adopted child and now my case is with NVC. I have already sent in AOS, DS-230 and the AOS form. Now I'm waiting on NVC. wanted to know if anyone knows about how much time is still left before the interview? what kind of questions they will ask? and what kind of infomation I should bring to the interview. I filed here in the US, will I have to bring more evidence to the interview or will they just need what I already have sent in with my I-130

How was this child adopted?

Approval of the I-130 is only the first step.

Depending on how the chil was adopted, and whether the child is related to the adopted parent can impact the case.

If you adopted your niece with her father and mother's permission, the approved I-130 is meaningless since the adoption is deemed to be solely for the purpose to immigrate a niece that otherwise could not immigrate to the US.

With the approval of the I-130 should mean that it was'nt done for that purpose. the interview should be the next step to prove that also

Approval simply means that your case qualifies for the petition you filed. A murderer, terrorist or a immigration scammer can have their I-130 approved as long as the visa they are applying for matches the relationship between the petitioner and beneficiary.

Approval of the I-130 means that based on the information you provided, the adopted child can apply for a visa. It does not mean that the US government accepts the relationship as legitimate and not for an immigration purpose. Approval doesn't mean the child qualifies for a visa.

If your reasoning was valid, then approval of the I-130 in an IR-1/CR-1 case would mean that USCIS has accepted the marriage relationship as valid and not for an immigration purpose. We know that is not true.

You still haven answered how the child was adopted. If you want good answers to your questions, then you need to give us the relevant information. Otherwise, you'll get general answers that may not apply to you.

There are three ways to bring an adopted child to the USA(I-800,I-600 or I-130). You chose the I-130 and in this case in order for USCIS to approve the I-130 petition you need to accrue 2 full years of legal and physical custody of the adopted child, the parents should have accrued the two years before filing I-130. From NVC to the US Consulate will take 20/30 days. You need to bring to the Interview all papers related with the full and a final adoption of the child, birth certificate of the child,your marriage certificate,your birth certificate and your wife birth certificate as well,evidence home state's pre-adoptions requirements have been met,I-864 .

Pre-Hague adoptive parents need to file the form DS-1981(regarding immunizations within 30 days of the child's entry in the U.S.A) etc...Good luck.

Yes it's a family member, we have met are two year leagal custody and resident. Adoption was approved by the courts and children sevices in the Philippines, due to child being neglected by her birth parents. Dsw ( child social worker) would not take her case due to us being in the US and able to provide for all her needs. Her grandparents were taking care of her with our help until both of them passed away within six months of each other. We have a home there, but the natual parents live next door. They have never gave any parental care or decission on this child behalf. Since this was a Petition for alien relative I-130. would we still have to evidence from home state pre- adoption requirement to take to the interview?

You indicate that you have a home in the Philippines but DSW would not take the case because you were living in the US. In addition, the child was living with and under the control of the grandparents. The natural parents live next door. How are you planning to prove that you had exclusive control of the child? You weren't living with her if you were in the US. Seems like the grandparents were in control and providing care. You sent money.

Did she live with you for two years in the same house? You living in the US while she lived in your Philippines house is not going to count as living together.
