公民身份，想把国内的侄子领养到美国读书，可否先B1过来后再办领养， 如何办理。谢谢了。
- Child adoption by a US citizen from another country is somewhat complicate and have to follow both the Chinese adoption policy and US adoption policy. I don't suggest the child come to US before the adoption is completed and the child can get the green card immediately after the adoption is completed if the child is under 16 years old. you need to contact the Chinese adoption organization for their policy. For the US policy, the following links are for your information. You may hire a immigration lawyer to help you if you want to.

(China is one of the Hague Adoption Convention countries, so the adoption needs to follow Hague adoption procedure).
