DCF in Vancouver, Canada for an adopted child - any experience with this situation or location?

[wheresmyrainbow 0]

Hello, I plan to apply for my adopted child.  If you're familiar with the USCIS options for immigration via adoption, we are doing option #3 the family-based petition process, which is having legal and physical custody for 2 years before we apply.  It seems this is not very common, so I'd really love to hear any advice or experience anyone has.

 

Or even if you have any information on how the DCF process goes in Vancouver/Canada, are they usually very accepting of job offers as a special circumstance, how long the DCF process takes here, etc.

 

Thanks in advance!

I have not seen any, my suspicion is that many children in this situation just visit and adjust, which is clearly not kosher.

All immigrant visas interviews are ultimately done in Montreal. 

You might want to search for recent DCF experiences in Canada, but they are not common (something about asking Mexico to approve first?  It's blurry in my memory).

 

This is the thread I had in mind

 

 

....

DCF or not, you might want to get ready to show intent to relocate to the US, as they might want to see evidence at the interview.
