Hello
This is our situation
I am german, my husband an american citizen.
We got married in dec 2003. The immigrationprosses is final over with. We had our interview on June the 22 / 2005.
I have a daughter from a previous marriage. she's german too.
She turned 21 on may the 17 this year. The unfortunate thing is, that our interview took place 3 weeks after the "Child protection act ".
She is currently residing in Germany. Is not married and no children.
My husband now is going to adopt her in august this year, while we are in Germany for a 10 day vacation. She want's that as well.
Here are my questions, reagarding to the adoption :
Is my daughter able to apply for the U.S. citizenship at the American Embassy because her father than is a U.S. citizen ?
She also want's to take our name over.
Can she apply for an american passport ?
Does this adoption have any influence on the imigrationprocess, wich we want to start with the USICS ?
Does she benefit through this adoption as far that the hole process would work out faster for us, such as she would be in a different category, because her real father than is an american ?
We don't want to make any mistakes, because we where waiting for so long now.
Any kind of advices or links would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Martina
