提上来再请教小白兔,关于2年共同生活

从下面关于养子的解释,我的理解是只要对孩子监管和一起生活2年,同时最终办好了收养证明(无所谓何时办的证明),就满足为养子申请移民的条件. 我的理解对吗? 谢谢白兔

An adopted child may enjoy immigration benefits based on the adoption if:

1. The adoption occurs prior to the child's 16th birthday;
2. The adoptive parents had have legal custody of the child for two years (before or after the adoption); and
3. The child had resided with the adoptive parent for two years (before or after the adoption).
