Can a U.S. Citizen Sponsor a Stepchild for a Green Card Without Adoption?
U.S. citizens may be able to sponsor a stepchild for a green card even if the child was never formally adopted. However, immigration law sets specific requirements for step-parent relationships, including when the marriage occurred and the child’s age at the time.
