Some of you had very useful answers regarding my sister's matter, which I posted about yesterday. There is an additional matter to my sister's situation. She has an 8-year old son staying in the US with her on the expired B-2 visa. My sister's husband has passed away, and my sister is struggling greatly to raise her son, with whom I am very close.
I would like to adopt my sister's son, as my sister is basically unable to provide for him anymore. If I filed the international adoption petition on his behalf, would he have to return to his home country as well while it's pending, or could he remain in the United States? I know about the home study and other requirements, I just don't know if he can do it all from here or what.
Thanks again for any help.
