I-800 Petition

The I-800 Petition is a legal form used in the United States for families seeking to adopt a foreign child who qualifies as an orphan under U.S. immigration law. It allows the child to enter the U.S. as a permanent resident after the adoption process. The petition demonstrates that the child meets specific criteria, such as having biological parents who cannot care for them. Once approved, it clears the way for the adoption and enables the child to receive a green card, granting them the rights of a U.S. resident.
