households. A U.S. adoptive parent may 

file a petition to classify an orphan as 

an immediate relative through Form I– 

600 under section 101(b)(1)(F) of the 

INA. A U.S. prospective adoptive parent 

may file Form I–600A in advance of the 

Form I–600 filing and USCIS will 

determine the prospective adoptive 

parent’s eligibility to file Form I–600A 

and their suitability and eligibility to 

properly parent an orphan. A U.S. 

adoptive parent may file a petition to 

classify an orphan as an immediate 

relative through Form I–600 under 

section 101(b)(1)(F) of the INA. If a U.S. 

prospective/adoptive parent has an 

adult member of their household, as 

defined at 8 CFR 204.301, the 

prospective/adoptive parent must 

include the Supplement 1 when filing 

both Form I–600A and Form I–600. The 

U.S. prospective/adoptive parent files 

Supplement 2 to authorize USCIS to 

disclose case-related information to 

adoption service providers that would 

otherwise be protected under the 

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. Authorized 

disclosures will assist USCIS in the 

adjudication of Forms I–600A and I– 

600.
