There are many US citizens who wish to adopt children from foreign countries. While they certainly have the right to do it, in order for the child to be able to come live in the US, they need to hold a valid immigrant visa. The IR4 Visa allows US citizens to obtain guardianship of the child in a foreign country and then complete the adoption application in the US.

The IR4 Visa is a Family Based Green Card that belongs to the Immediate Relative category. Visas that fall into this group are always available, no matter how many people apply for them each year. The processing of IR4 Visa applications is also much quicker than the processing times of visas belonging to the Preference Relative category.

If your IR4 Visa application is accepted, your adopted child will be able to remain in the US permanently and enjoy all the rights that Green Card holders have. That means that they will be able to study and work in the US without any restrictions. After they have been in the US on the IR4 Visa for more than five years, they will be able to apply for US citizenship.
