在共同生活2年之前，美国不承认作为dependent, 但可以申请B2

An alien in the United States who is in valid nonimmigrant status may not petition for immigration for their adopted children. A newly adopted child by a non-immigrant alien would not qualify for a dependent visa (such as an H-4 and F-2) unless they satisfy the three requirements for adopted children (i.e., adoption before the age of sixteen, two years custody, and two years of residence with the adoptive parent). However, a newly adopted child may apply for a B-2 visa to visit his/her adoptive parent(s) in U.S.

N11.3.--Spouse or Child of U.S. Citizen or Resident Alien. An alien spouse or child, including an adopted alien child, of a United States citizen or resident alien may be classified as a nonimmigrant B-2 visitor if the purpose of the travel is to accompany the spouse or parent for a temporary visit.
