"(b) When used in this section, the term 'eligible orphan' shall 
mean an alien child who (1) is an orphan because of the death or 
disappearance of both parents, or because of abandonment or desertion 
by, or separation or loss from, both parents, or who has only one 
parent due to the death or disappearance of, abandonment, or deser-
tion by, or separation or loss from the other parent and the remain-
ing parent is incapable of providing care for such orphan and has in 
writing irrevocably released him for emigration and adoption; (2) 
(A) has been lawfully adopted abroad by a United States citizen and 
spouse, or (B) is coming to the United States for adoption by a 
United States citizen and spouse; and (3) is ineligible for admission 
into the United States solely because that portion of the quota to 
which he would otherwise be chargeable is oversubscribed by appli-
cants registered on the consular waiting list at the time his visa ap-
plication is made. 
"Any United States citizen and spouse claiming that any eligible 
orphan is entitled to a nonquota immigrant status under subsection (a) 
of this section may file a petition with the Attorney General. 
The 
petition shall be in such form and shall contain such information and 
be supported by such documentary evidence as the Attorney General 
may by regulations prescribe. The petition shall establish to the satis-
faction of the Attorney General that the petitioners will care for such 
eligible orphan properly if he is admitted to the United States and, 
if such eligible orphan has not been lawfully adopted abroad, that 
they will adopt such orphan in the United States and that the pre-
adoption requirements, if any, of the State of such orphan's proposed 
residence have been met. After an investigation of the facts in each 
case, the Attorney General shall, if he determines the facts stated in 
the petition are true and that the petitioning United States citizen 
and spouse are persons of good moral character, approve the petition 
and forward one copy thereof to the Department of State. 
The Secre-
tary of State shall then authorize the consular officer concerned to 
grant nonquota immigrant status to the beneficiary of such petition 
after the consular officer has determined that such beneficiary is an 
eligible orphan as herein defined."
