What if one parent is not a U.S. citizen
If you are interested in adopting internationally through the I-600 orphan process, you will probably have to wait until your wife's application for permanent residency is granted. While only one spouse has to be a U.S. citizen, the other spouse must have valid "immigration" status, which is interpreted generally to mean in the U.S. as an immigrant rather than on a nonimmigrant visa.
