Adoption Visas:

Designed for children adopted abroad by U.S. citizens. Child adoption cases in U.S. immigration law can be highly complex due to stringent legal requirements, multiple governing bodies, and the intersection of U.S. immigration law with foreign adoption laws. Adoption-based immigration cases are intricate and require careful planning. Working with an experienced immigration attorney is crucial to navigate the complexities, ensure compliance with all legal requirements, and avoid unnecessary delays or denials.

Our dedicated legal team has a strong track record of successfully refiling and obtaining approvals for adoption cases that were previously denied by USCIS.

  • The IR-3 visa is issued to children adopted outside the U.S. by U.S. citizens when the adoption is finalized in the child’s country of origin, and at least one adoptive parent has seen the child in person before or during the adoption process. This visa allows the child to enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident.

  • The IR-4 visa is issued to children who are entering the U.S. to be adopted by U.S. citizens when the adoption has not been finalized in the child’s home country. This visa is used when the adoptive parents did not see the child in person before or during the foreign adoption process, or when the foreign country only allows guardianship, not full adoption. The child enters the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident and becomes eligible for U.S. citizenship after the adoption is finalized in a U.S. court.
