The U.S. Embassy in Warsaw processes immigrant visas for children adopted in Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. There are immigrant visa procedures for children adopted in each of those countries that must be completed before you travel to Warsaw to apply for a U.S. immigrant visa for your adopted child or children. If you do not complete all the procedures required by the source country before arriving in Warsaw, the Embassy cannot process your child’s immigrant visa and you will have to return to the source country to finish these requirements.
To find out more about the immigration law and necessary procedures for adoption in our consular district, please print out our information packet on Adoptions in Poland here.
if you plan to adopt a child from Poland, please check our Polish adoption flyer for more detailed information. If you plan to adopt from Latvia, Lithuania or Belarus, please follow the links to the U.S. Embassies located in Riga, Vilnius and Minsk.
Before considering “direct” or “private” adoptions in any country, especially in Poland, please contact the Office of Children’s Issues, Department of State, Washington, D.C. 20520-4818, or this Embassy.
