Hello All, I hope you can help me sort this out!
I am a 45 yo USC, currently living in Guatemala as a Guatemalan resident for the past 11 years. I am ALMOST done adopting a Guatemalan child. I have had legal and physical custody of her since 2009. She has a Guatemalan passport and a 10 year B-2 visa. My question is this: can I head back to the US using her B-2 visa, making trips to Guatemala as needed to not overstay her visa AND to keep my residency there legal until the adoption is (finally) finalized, and then apply for a N-600-K from within the US? It seems to me like it should work... Does anyone know how long a N-600-K takes? Thanks!!

True, the adoption is not finalized yet. My interest is to spend as much time in the US as soon as possible. I think I can go back for months at a time with my daughter on her B-2 visa. Once the adoption is finalized, I'd like to apply for the N-600-K while in the US, since she will be there on legal and temporary status. I know not many people have experience with N-600-K, but do you think this will work? I think filing for immediate relative status would require me to be in Guatemala for a number of months while I am waiting, right? And again, my interest is to be in the US (so my older, biological child can be in school). Any ideas? Thanks!
