In-laws, adoption and GC

[Namrata Chaudhary]

Hi all,
I have a question for you immigration gurus. My sis-in-law (husband's sis) is sponsoring my parents-in-law for a gc and has already filed for them. Now, my husband has another sister in India who has a 14 year old kid. My in-laws are thinking of adopting him so that he too can come here on their gc. Is this possible? Basically, the nephew will now become my sis-in-law's unwed, underage, brother. Will he be able to come here ?
Also, since the papers for my in-laws have already been filed and they are in India, can they come here to visit us meanwhile? they have a 10-yr multiple entry visa. Will they be prevented from entering the States until some resolution has taken place wrt their gc petition?

Thanks everybody for your time.

Nami.

Nami, It all depends whether your sis-in-law is US citizen or GC holder. Assuming she is a US citizen,
a) Brother (adopted or not) is still not considered immediate relative.
b) If Parents are still in India, then has she filled I-130 or it has been approved... If I-130 has been approved and she has filled I-485,then they need to be in India till the interview...

goodluck
