Form I-600A | Application for Advance Processing of an Orphan Petition
Purpose of Form
If you want to adopt a child from another country, you should understand that this process can be very lengthy. Fortunately, there is a legal way to speed up this procedure.
Special Instructions
In order to conduct this procedure a bit faster, you should file USCIS I-600A Form (Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition). This form shows that potential parents are eligible to adopt the child. After that, you can leave the US and look for an orphan outside our country. If you have a submitted I-600A Form, it will be significantly easier and faster to adopt this child.
