Can you file I-130 for adopted child?

Parents must accrue two years of legal and physical custody and obtain a full, final adoption of the child to be eligible to file an I-130.

Can I get a visa for my adopted child?

If the child you adopted or intend to adopt in the United States is residing abroad, the child will need an immigrant visa to enter the United States. Visas are issued by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) at the embassy or consulate in the foreign country where your child resides.
