Hello everyone,
I just wanted to know if someone has any idea on the process of filling I-130, when the child was adopted. I legally adopted my little brother almost 2 years ago and I'm getting ready to file I-130 and I-485 for him. What documents would I need to submit with I-130 and I-485. I don't have adoption decree (I didn't even make a copy of it) since I turned it in, in order to get his new birth certificate, where I am listed as his father. Do I need to have my county (here in the US) recognize this adoption or do I just send the translated paperwork from my home country? Any help would be appreciated!
 
The form i130 has detailed filing instructions which you can download and read thoroughly,i'm in the process of doing the same except its my son.
