Form I-800 – Petition to Classify a Convention Adoptee

The Form I-800 (Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative) is used by U.S. citizen prospective adoptive parents to finalize the immigration process for a child adopted from a Hague Convention country. This page provides the official fillable PDF, step‑by‑step instructions, and tips to ensure a smooth filing.

What is Form I-800?

Form I-800 is filed after you have an approved Form I-800A (Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child from a Convention Country). It requests the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to recognize the child as an immediate relative, allowing the child to obtain an immigrant visa.

Eligibility & Required Documents

  • U.S. citizen petitioner (adoptive parent) – must be at least 21 years old.
  • Approved Form I-800A approval notice.
  • Proof of the child’s habitually residing in a Convention country.
  • Article 16 report, adoption agency statements, and post‑placement plans (if applicable).
  • Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) or I-864EZ.
  • Any required medical examinations, translations, and certifications.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using pages from different edition dates – all pages must match the edition date shown at the bottom of the form.
  • Leaving required fields blank (e.g., Part 2 – Information About You).
  • Submitting original documents unless specifically requested.
  • Failing to attach English translations for foreign‑language documents.
  • Paying the filing fee with a personal check – USCIS now requires electronic payment methods.
