email Notice on Filing Adoption Papers with DHS/USCIS in Guatemala
February 23, 2006
The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala announces that, beginning Thursday, February 23, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will accept final documents in adoption cases at Window #1, Monday through Thursday, from 9 to 9:30 a.m. to ensure that final documents can be processed without delay. Only final adoption documents will be accepted and stamped as received. No other documents or inquiries will be accommodated by DHS at this window during this time frame.
DHS officers at Window #8 (a wooden door with a number 8) will continue to see a maximum of 40 attorneys/representatives on a first come, first served basis, Monday through Thursday. Each attorney or representative is allowed to present up to four new adoption cases, and may present paperwork on other pending cases without limit (including the final documents). Normally, the DHS officers start receiving these individuals at approximately 9 a.m., following all of the individual interviews with adopting parents who have come that day for their immigrant visa appointment for their adopted child.
