Hellow everyone. I am new. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

My husband and I have been married for more than 8 years but still don't have kids. So, I went back to my home country and adopted my nephew in July 2008. The kid is 12 year old now. My husband's asylum was approved this month and I automatically become a derivative asylee. We put our adopted son's name on my husband's asylum application. Since the kid is out of US, my husband needs to file I-730 in order to bring him to the U.S. However, the instructions state that my husband needs to provide evidence that he lived with the adopted child for at least two years before filing I-730. I didn't take the kid to US and the kid was living with my mom in my home country.

Since we haven't lived with the kids after the adoption creed was issued, can my husband file I-730 for the kid?
 
Thank you very much for your help. This means that we won't be able to bring him to US through I-730. Is there any way we can take him to US? I really appreciate it.



Unless he shows the kid was in his legal custody for at least 2 years they will not approve his I-730.
