Note: To qualify under #2, there are additional age and legal/physical custody requirements that must be met

Option #3 If you completed a full and final adoption in Haiti for immigration purposes, meaning:

  • The unmarried U.S. citizen parent or U.S. citizen parent and spouse jointly saw and observed the child, in person, prior to or during the foreign adoption proceedings
