几个月前上来问了关于回国领养小孩的问题,谢谢各位老师的帮助,现在小孩来到美国和我们共同生活了。由于我们现在485 pending, 所以我想确认一下以后小孩follow to join的问题。我在state gov的官网上看到关于领养的小孩是否可以follow to join的如下说明:
A child who qualified as "child" under the provisions of INA 101(b)(1)(E) subsequent to the principal alien's admission, but was adopted and was a member of principal alien's household prior to the adoptive parent's admission to the United States, is considered to have been acquired prior to the principal alien's admission.
我的理解是,拿到领养证,小孩就被认为是"was adopted"了,但要共同生活两年后才可以被认为是"my child"。 所以只要拿到领养证是在我拿到绿卡之前,就算共同生活两年的完成在拿到绿卡之后,小孩都是可以follow to join的。我的理解对吗?不过网上的这个例子让我很困惑:

我觉得里面的律师说的不对。是吗?
还有一个问题,要是我拿到绿卡后换了工作,小孩还可以follow to join吗?谢谢
