我们夫妇是公民,领养的孩子2014年4月将满18岁。到2014年3月他就和在一起满两年了(法院的adoption court order 日期是2012年3月生效的)。
请问: 第一位律师说2014年3月可以开始申请绿卡。
第二位律师说 直接填N600, 未满18岁可以直接申请公民。
哪种说法对?
--Need more details to answer your question accurately. Are you a US citizen when you adopted the child? Did the adoption was completed outside US? What kind of visa your adopted child used to enter US?
It seems your adopted child has not get the green card yet, right? If so, the first lawyer is right. If the child can get his/her green card before he/she turns 18 years old, you (the adoptive parent) can file N-643 for the child to get the US citizenship. If the adopted child get the green card after he/she turns 18 ears old, the child can file N-400 to get the US citizenship by him/herself after he/she meets the N-400 requirements such as physical presence in US for at least 5 years after getting green card, etc.
It seems the second lawyer might think your adopted child has become a green card holder at this point or thought your child entered US using IR4 visa.
对上大学的利弊?(孩子成绩GPA可以, 但SAT差,文艺体育领导力全没有)
-No difference in this issue whether he/she is a green card holder or US citizen.
我有亲戚是按第一位律师的路数走的,但我想走第二条路
我已经约了第二位律师,应该带什么文件?
