Unfortunately I will be on a plane off to see my family at the time of this live chat. I had hoped to ask a question.
The chat is scheduled on December 20th from 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM Pacific time.
If any one is planning to join the join in on the chat?
This is the question I was planning to post:
Adopted children that have met the definition of "the child" are not qualified for K or V visas under the life act but are qualified for US Citizenship. If they are petitioned using the I-130 process they are also ineligible for a B2 visa. Children that remain resident outside of the US can process their citizenship through naturalization. The I-130 is takes a year to process. Is anything being done to change the rules to prioritize processing children already eligible for US Citizenship?
I'm sure you would have questions of your own but if do join the chat and get a chance would you post my question?
Thanks,
Johnny
