hello to all!

Can anyone help me on how is the process of adoption is, under the Child Citizenship Act? My son is under 18 and a permanent resident already. Can my husband adopt him to expedite the process of being a US citizen? If so, how much is the cost to file for an adoption and please ssuggest any resources I could read about it. ( website, etc)..what forms are needed?

thank you!

Janice

This question is best left to an attorney on what it would take for your USC husband to adopt your son, including the process of having the natural father giving up any parental responsibilities...However, if your son will be over 18 by the time you are eligible to naturalize, he will be eligible himself after he has been in the US for 5 years...

Adoption must be finalized prior the child turns 16 y.o. in order for the child to be eligible for any immigration benifit based on the adoption by a USC parent
