H4 Visa for Adopted child

[k_s_ashok]

Hi,

I am an Indian Citizen and I have adopted a child in India. Now I got my H1B visa. I am planning to take my wife and adopted child along with me in H4. Is she eligible for H4?

Thanks,
Ashok

How long has it been since you have adopted the child? As per my knowledge, the child (who should be below 16 years of age) has to live with you under your custody for at least a minimum of 2 years before it is possible to get a dependent visa for the child. I suggest you consult an immigration attorney.
