Aiwen and I have our 5 year wedding anniversary tomorrow, Oct 23. We've managed to create a nice life together, but it takes work. We still have to sort things out due to cultural differences now and then. But, it's been quite a journey, one I am very happy to still be on! Steve

If your father is willing to be a co-sponsor I would simplify things and ask him to co-sponsor. I might have your father write a letter stating his invitation to live with your parents in Florida and have him explain they just moved from New Jersey giving the old address. This will serve to explain why your domicile is in New Jersey but you plan on living in Florida. Make sure you put your parent's address in Florida as where you plan on living and where the green card should be sent. As long as the information you present to the immigration officer makes sense I don't think you will have any issues.

I ask my wife how this could be done. She has 2 ideas. 1) Ask that they buy the property now, for the discount, but do not get the real estate certificate until after your married. That way both your names can be on the certificate. I know, this is strange in US property transaction, but my wife and I have had a property in China for almost 3 years now, and we have not both been back at the same time, so we have never gotten the certificate yet. Unlike in America, the actual certificate comes long after the transaction. 2) If #1 is impossible, ask if your name can be added later. This one we are a little doubtful of, but maybe can be done. One warning, you pay extra tax on buy and sell transaction if foreign devil name is on certificate.
