Hello! I'm asking this for a friend and would appreciate any advice on this.
He is a US permanent resident with a pending N-400. Before he got the immigrant visa, he adopted his nephew (his brother's son) for a family reason.
However, the child was not listed in his DS-260 and N-400 applications. His brother had a pending I-130 as well and the child was listed under his brother.
His brother suddenly passed away recently, and the child doesn't have any immediate relative left in his home country. We are looking for ways for the child to immigrate to the US with family immigrant visa. The child is over the adoption age now.
What could happen if he apply the child as adoptive child now?
How likely is the case to be successful (showing previous adoption paperwork as proof)?
Could that jeopardize his pending N-400 application?
Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
