USCIS Stakeholder Meeting on Ethiopian Adoptions



USCIS Stakeholder Meeting on Ethiopian Adoptions
Friday, October 28, 2011 @ 10:30 am (EDT)
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) would like to invite you to attend a stakeholder call to discuss USCIS processing of Ethiopian adoption cases which the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa is referring to USCIS as "not clearly approvable". Recently, the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has identified a number of adoption petitions (Form I-600, Petition to Classify Orphan as Immediate Relative) that it has determined are not clearly approvable (NCA), and thus, must be referred to USCIS for adjudication. USCIS would like to explain what “not clearly approvable” means and how the processing of such cases will unfold once the cases are referred to USCIS.

To Participate in the Session
Any interested parties may participate in this event by telephone. All participants must respond to this invitation. Please contact the USCIS Office of Public Engagement at public.engagement@dhs.gov by Thursday, October 27, 2011 referencing “Ethiopian Adoptions” in the subject line of your email.
Please also include your full name and the organization you represent in the body of the email.
Once an RSVP email has been received, USCIS will provide you call-in details.
