warpedbored Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 A member asked me to find out if a petitioner can adopt the child of the beneficiary while going through the K-1 visa process. Link to comment
USCONGUZ Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 If the child is a Chinese national living in China, then the adoption must take place under Chinese law. This means the petitioner must adopt the child in China and will have to consult with the Chinese authorities as to whether or not he/she can adopt the child.

warpedbored Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 To be more specific if the USC were to adopt the child of a beneficiary, how would it affect the visa process of the child and mother? Link to comment

More than likely though, the adoption of the child will not have any effect on the K1/K2 visa. One thing to keep in mind is that if the member wishes to petition for the child as his/her own child as a CR2, then the petitioner will have to prove that they have lived together for at least 2 years in a parent/child relationship.

LeeFisher3 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) How does the CR2 requirement differ from the people who travel to China and legally adopt children under Chinese Law who have not lived with the child for 2 years? My understanding is the child is issued a US passport by the consulate during a process in China where the adoption takes place.

Sounds like this child is not an orphan. Link to comment

USCONGUZ Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) It does not matter whether or not the 2 years were before or after the adoption Edited March 9, 2006 by USCONGUZ (see edit history) Link to comment
