Thank you so much Randy and Dan! I really appreciate the prompt replies, and you've set me on the right course. I e-mailed USCIS Beijing office two days ago and got a very terse reply to my questions (along with a very descriptive PDF), but I'm just happy I got a reply at all. They said that since I'm on a tourist visa and don't have resident permit, I can submit a copy of my apartment lease here in Beijing as proof of residence. That's one problem solved! I should be able to submit my I-130 next week, and I will keep updating this post to let people know how things are going for us, and how I solved the problems I listed in my original post. Thanks!!!
