Hello. My wife and I are both Canadian citizens and adopted our daughter from Mexico (Hague Convention country) in 2013. We completed the adoption process as Canadian citizens and our daughter is a Mexican and Canadian citizen. My wife is also a US citizen and we have been habitually residing outside the US since before the adoption.
We are looking to return to the US in a couple of years and my wife would like to file form I-130 to recognize our daughter as an immediate relative. In looking through the form, Part 1, Question 2 seeks to establish the relationship of the person you are filing this form for. For an adopted child, the only option available is "child was adopted (not an orphan or Hague Convention adoptee)". Given that our daughter was adopted from a Hague Convention country, there doesn't seem to be a suitable box we can tick.
A couple of questions. Firstly, are we allowed to use the I-130 for our adopted daughter? If so, which box can be ticked for relationship?
Many thanks.
