My recently deceased wife and her first husband adopted an orphan in Greece who was starving to death in 1968. This caused brain severe damage and mental retardation. James and Janet were in Athens, Greece working on a US contract for Lockheed’s F-104 Starfighter which the US Government had given to Greece to help NATO defend itself against the USSR. James was also a Korean War Veteran. The US Embassy in Athens said that Christopher would automatically become a US citizen but instead he is facing deportation for an arson plea bargain in 1990. He was brought to the US when he was 18 months old as a LPR (Legal Permanent Resident) and an IR-3 (an immediate relative).
ICARE would help my handicapped stepson from being deported to where?
He was born in Germany to a Greek guest worker and a German girl and dropped off in Greece by his German mother. His German Citizenship was waived so he could be adopted in Greece and the Greeks don’t recognize him.

My wife has been to Manila Embassy X3. The 1st 2-times to file I-130. This time, we are giving up on form I-130 due to the two-year “Legal Custody” requirement. Despite Court Decree of "Abandonment" in 2006, the fact that my youngest is now age 6, and that he has lived with me since age 2 as his sole provider we moved on to filing I-600. This time, the counselor informed her that because the adoption process is finalized they are no longer orphans and hence Form I-600 cannot be used. So she again offered them copies, prepared for her previous two visits, of completed I-130’s. With that they again told her that we would not meet criteria for the two-year “Legal Custody”. ICARE would put and end to this insanity.
