Nepal Adoptions Engagement
Thursday, January 29, 2015
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. (Eastern)

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of State (State) invite you to participate in a stakeholder engagement session on Thursday, January 29, 2015, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Eastern) to discuss intercountry adoptions in Nepal.

On Aug. 6, 2010, USCIS and State jointly suspended processing new adoption cases from Nepal involving children claimed to have been found abandoned. From November 16-19, 2014 a joint USCIS-State delegation visited Nepal to learn more about the Government of Nepal’s current child welfare system and adoption procedures, and to demonstrate the U.S. government’s support for the Government of Nepal’s efforts to strengthen the child welfare system. During this teleconference, USCIS and State will share the information learned during the delegation’s visit to Nepal and respond to any concerns or questions about our future engagement with Nepal.
