I am from Kyrgyzstan, 24 years old. Im a green card holder and my husband is a citizen of the USA. We have a 2 yo son. 

My parents past away and i have 12 years old twins brothers left. I have to take them with me. Me and my husband looking forward to adopt them.  And we need help guiding us trough this. Please help us. My brothers are suffering from the stress, they are jerking their shoulders and heads...Currently i am in Kyrgyzstan with kids since September 2017. My husband will come in April for a month...any advice will be appreciated 

 

Thank you so much for your time

If you are ready for a long wait(As I know 7+years) then you can start.
Good luck

This applies for siblings, in this case if she adopts them a completely different set of criteria apply

 

To the OP, I hope someone will chime in on this

from what I can tell you are eligible to adopt them and then you can petition them, you would need to follow the adoption timeline

    It is difficult to adopt a relative in a way they will get an immigrant visa.     https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/Intercountry-Adoption/Intercountry-Adoption-Country-Information/Kazakhstan.html     You may get tripped up by the required 16 year age difference unless there is some sort of exception. 

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

I agree, there are two separate issues, can you adopt?, seek guidance from a local lawyer.

 

Second is I assume you want them to immigrate to the US? Which is another totally separate issue, is your husband looking to migrate to you in the medium term?

 

Did you apply for a re entry permit, or will you be abandoning your GC status?

my husband is 31 years old. so 16 years difference reqirment is not the issue. if i would be adopting alone it would be an issue..

Don't you have to have lived with the child for more than two years under Hague definition?

In our case they are my brothers. If they would be from the foster house then yeah... 

gotcha.  I see this same question asked in the Philippines forum. Someone comes to USA and then wants to adopt usually a niece/nephew,  and try to immigrate, I see the 2 year rule as the deal breaker.

I agree it looks like the OP does qualify to bring them to the USA because of their parents passing away. But having to actually do it is a different story and I am sure that it is not easy at all.

 

 

OP, Best of luck to you ma'm. I really hope you can bring them ASAP.
