There are US Immigration Lawyers based in the UK, makes sense when you think of it. One based in Brighton does a lot of Family cases, the London based ones are probably more Business orientated. https://www.us-visa.co.uk/

How could anybody know if it would be approved.

I agree

She can try, how long did she overstay?

I still think you need to consult with a Lawyer Not a notario.

Most people on here go the marriage route

To petition your spouse you need to marry in this case you to adopt and have custody for 2 years

Ideally this should have been sorted years ago Now I know the words but do not know what the Consulate will accept Most of the cases on here are either clear cut, child has been living with us for years and now we are moving back or let's say vague, and very few vague ones come back and tell us what happened

It is physical custody and you need to evidence it. That is why I suggested a lawyer most cases are different. Legal well to have the adoption papers s

I sort of assume it is because there is no case to file yet?

Well that can be read several ways.

https://www.uscis.gov/adoption/bringing-your-internationally-adopted-child-to-the-united-states I always think these are Lawyer type cases but you have some time before you can file.

Different questions different answers.

That is more a VJ thing than a reality thing

$10k for both is not out of the ordinary and this is not ordinary.

I would normally say 2 years but saw one just over a year recently

A second Doctor visit is not normal, very unusual.

You file the full adjustment package

She needs to apply for a B2 Tourist Visa

When I went there was a petitioner, seemed to be a bot of a waste sitting there, might as well stayed in the pub.
