Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Re: i am a us citizen who wants to adopt

There are two separate, but intertwined processes involved. Through the state family courts, you must complete the adoption, and through the federal immigration process, you petition for her status and her residency. You can review the process on the USCIS website, but it is complicated, and you should retain an attorney.

Adoptions, as it relates to immigration law, can be extremely complicated. Adoption of your neice would depend on her age, whether or not she is legally considered an "orphan" or if you have legal custody of her at any time.

Please specify how old you niece is and whether her parents are still living.
