I-600 Petition

The I-600 Petition is a form used in the United States for adopting foreign children who are considered orphans. When a U.S. citizen wants to adopt a child from another country, they file this petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The form establishes the child's eligibility for an immigrant visa so they can join their adoptive family in the U.S. The process ensures that the adoption is legal and that the child will receive the necessary support and care in their new home. It’s part of the larger intercountry adoption procedure.
