Adoption Based Visas

Adoption-based visas are special visas that allow foreign children adopted by U.S. citizens to come to the United States permanently. These visas help to ensure that adopted children can join their new families and have the opportunity for a better life. The most common types of visas in this category are the IR3 and IR4 visas. The IR3 visa is for children who are adopted overseas and meet certain conditions, while the IR4 is for children who will be adopted in the U.S. after arriving. These visas facilitate international adoptions and promote family reunification.
