Adoption
Adoption is categorized as an immigrant visa issue, and hence is handled primarily by the Consular Section's Immigrant Visa Unit rather than American Citizen Services Unit.
For information on adoptions provided by the Embassy's Immigrant Visa Unit, please see http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/adoptions.html.
Additional information on processing an Orphan Petition (I-600/I-600A) with U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services' office at the U.S. Embassy New Delhi can be found at http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/uscis.html.
