My parents are visiting on B2 and it just so happened that I had my naturalization interview and oath during this time so I would like to file I-130 and AOS as they’re in the country. I was adopted as a newborn from my biological parents.

I have my birth certificate indicating natural parents and the original adoption documents stating the adoption from biological to adoptive parents. Anyone else who did the same for their parents? What documents are required besides adoption papers? My adoption was in the UK and I was brought up in Pakistan.

Adoptive parent or adopted child: If you and the person you are filing for are related by adoption, you must submit a copy of the adoption decree showing that the adoption took place before the child turned 16 years of age.

 

If you adopted a child under 16 years of age, and you also adopted the older sibling of that child, you may file a petition for the older child if the adoption occurred before the older child turned 18 years of age. You must submit a copy of the adoption decree showing that the adoption of the sibling occurred before the sibling turned 18 years of age.

 

In either case, you must also submit copies of evidence that each child was in the legal custody of and resided with the parents who adopted him or her for at least two years before or after adoption. Only a court or recognized government entity may grant legal custody, and it is usually granted at the time the adoption is finalized. However, if legal custody is granted by a court or recognized government entity prior to the adoption, that time may count toward fulfilling the 2-year legal custody requirement.
