Hello,This is a great website. This is regarding a friends problem. They r a couple of US Citizens of indian origin. After they became naturalized they are living in india due to family reasons and adopted a baby claiming as indians (as it was much faster). now they want to bring the child to US as the husband got an opportunity to work in USA. what can they do to bring the child to USA. is there any chance for them to bring the child to USA. They are afraid now that INS might think they did not disclose truth.thanks for the help

If they have had the child for two years, and are U.S. citizens, they shouldn't have a problem.
If they have had the child for less than two years, and are U.S. citizens, and if the child does not qualify for an adoption visa (for example, because the baby was adopted from two married parents and is not considered an orphan), then this could be an issue.

It is taking a year or so to process the I-130 even though the child is US Citizenship qualified. e.g. as soon as the child enters the US he/she automatically becomes a US Citizen. And you will not be allowed to enter on a visit visa because you intend to emigrate. Stupid but true. There is no K or V visa either for this classification. You can only wait for the processing to be done in turn. Our government is completely apathetic to this status.
