On June 14, 2024, USCIS updated its Policy Manual (Volume 5, Part D) to clarify how adoptive parents can adopt a child under the Hague Adoption Convention. This update consolidates and clarifies existing guidelines, providing clear requirements for the adoption process.

 

The update includes:

  • Criteria for the eligibility of children born abroad.
  • Immigration and adoption steps in the required order.
  • Requirements for adoption service providers, including the use of a primary provider and conditions following the loss of accreditation.

This measure reaffirms the commitment to the principles of the Hague Convention to protect the best interests of children. For more details, please refer to the Hague Process page on the USCIS website.
