I told husband there were more american hsuabnds who were asking their wives about the chinese words meaning, ha ha ha.

Yes she knows that, she is just anxious to have the green card As long as the green card would not turn into a green hat(绿帽子）, ha ha ha. By the way, who knows what a green hat means in Chinese? Amanda Amanda! I hope you don't get green hat! I will have to fly down and help Richard get over the shock! BTW, Weiwei got her green card today! Congratulations for her getting green card!!!!

Son and I arrived in the U.S on July 18,2009 with my husband. Son and I have got SSN. But we have not got greencard or even welcoming letter(Without welcoming letter, we are in the U.S,haha ). When will we get greencard? Thank you in advance. Amanda

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

As my experience, even though on the same day packages were cleared out of customs, packages had to be waiting for inline for opening.

It is true!

Son complained about my cooking in China but it seems he enjoys my cooking in USA now.Lol. We found these foods are better in USA than in China: 1.Pizza 2.Bread 3.Hamburg/Sanwich 4.BBQ About every 2 days we eat pizza once. Everyday we drink coffee at morning and eat Chinese food for dinner. During work days I cook dinner but on weekends husband cooks but I would like to cook another Chinese dish even though he did well though. Amanda

Yes, you are correct. Clearwater, FL is a beautiful city but the weather is not hot as I expected. My parents told me today Harbin, my home town is as almost the same tempreture as in clearwater. The big challenge for son and me was when we were in GUZ, we felt much hotter. I like clearwater only feel a little bit quiet. As a newcomer, I have to be patience.

Yes, small world. My husband complained about me once why I posted long on 001 but posted short on CFL about my real experiences of CR1+CR2,Lol.

To love somebody is one thing but to live with might be another thing. Good and bad would come altogether but is real life.

I have been to the Asian Supermarkets twice with my husband because husband told me I might buy something there instead of in Wal Mart. But after I bought something, when I went to Wal Mart later, I found some of them sold there too, Lol

THANK YOU ALL! I had hoped differences before I came here. In a matter of fact, I start to like many differences.It is not which one is better, China or USA but just differences. I stiil miss my family who is in CHINA and I would like to make new friends in the U.S. With my English,I have no problems to conmmunicate with people but I stiil need to learn English. I saw some people who were happy to know I could speak English and this encouraged me to learn more. Anyway, I have more to learn and take time to adjust but I am very happy and excited that I have good start and enjoy life with my husband. Amanda

Welcome to the US! But you don't want to park in a handicapped slot - your car can be towed. I am sorry, it was a cart not real car.

It has been one week since I arrived in USA. I am alike 3-year old child in front of a shop window. Most of things are brand new.With my husband love, I am feeling good and I love here more and more each day! Here are some lists: 1. Blue sky,clean enviorment, beautiful sigts. I was impressed by clearwater beach so much. Husband's boss wife took son and me to go there and it was wonderful experience. Honestly, I have never seen such beautiful sights before. I was surprised to see white sands. 2.High qulity vegetables and fruits. There are many vegetables and fruits which I saw in China but there are many others which I have never seen before. 3. I can find my home from the 2 stores nearby. One day Son and I went into WAL MART where we found carts. We knew they are for disabled people but we still wanted to have fun. But when an old lady told me carts only for disabled people, we felt so embarrassed. Son and I came out of the carts but we thought that other people how to think of us? the chinese woman and the chinese guy got quickly recovered ? ha ha ha, we had fun but other people might think we were weird. 4.People are friendly. I met my husabnd's boss wife and her 3 children in person. I was so glad to meet them and they are very good people. I was introduced to one of our neighors daughter. She is very friendly. Today our door was knock and a guy came up for advertisement. My husband was hearing and I doing the same thing, but while he talking, he kept on watching me. Maybe he was thinking why an asian woman was in this house where it is a white people's residentisal quarter. I like to have more new experience in this country and make new friends! Aamanda

Husband, son and I flew from Harbin ---Beijing----Newark----Tampa on July 18. The flight arrived at 5:40 pm at Newark airport. Because of rush hour, the flight was waiting in line for arrival. We got off at about 6:00pm and husband led us to visitor's entry. There we submitted our visa packages and got photo shot and fingerprint. Husband submitted Customs Declaration form(CR1 does not need I-94) to the offical and we had to wait. In about one hour, we were called to the counter and signed both son's name and my name with right fingerprint on the ducument.Nither son nor me were asked any questions.

Thank you CFLers, my husband and I are so grateful that we have got much help here. As husband posted something during my interview. It is my turn to post. On Jult 9, son and I were called to window NO. 23 where there was a handsome VO. He only asked me some easy questions without asking any questions to son. It took about 1 minute that he gave me pink. These questions were: VO：Good morning. How are you? ME:I am fine, and you? VO:I am good. Is this your son? ME:Yes. VO:He can sit back to the seat. ME: Do you mean my son can sit back? VO:Yes.Where did you learn English? ME:I learned English at xxx where my major was English. VO:ha ha ha, so your major was English. ME:Yes. VO:How did you meet? ME:We met over internet on a single's web site. VO:Which web site? ME:xxxxx VO:Your English is very good! ME:Thank you. VO:How many times has he met you in person? ME: 3 times. VO:When did you get married? ME:xxxxxxx VO:Where did he propose to you? ME:At Mutianyu GREAT WALL.That is really beautiful memory. VO:How many children does your husband have? ME:He does not have any children of his own. VO:Where does he live? ME:xxxxxxx Later I asked one question. It seemed that he did not expect Chinese woman would ask him a question. ME：By the way, could I ask you a question? Is there any further processing on my case after I get approved? VO:No, NO. Just wait for a couple of days.

Yes, it's now the rainy season. In any event, welcome to China and good luck to you guys. Thanks, I have finished ACH & ACS, it's up to her now Will have more later I am going to see sight-seeing though

He called me when he was at Tampa Airport,Newark Airport and at Beijing Airport. Right now he is waiting for his flight to GUZ at Beijing Airport but it is raining hard in Beijing therefore his flight is delayed. Hopefully he will be in GUZ as soon as possible. He is too tired. Amanda

No.

you dont understand chinese woman or culture at at all do you Help us out, Jin...explain it for us. In Chinese culture, how is thinking about children from prior marriages mixed with children from this marriage? What is the pecking order in relation to "our" children vs. "my" children vs. "your" children?. Yes, it is Chinese tradition that parents leave apartments or other properties to their children. As Chinese parents, many of them are working hard to gather more money to get their children have better life. However, as my opinion, it is somehow not a better idea. Cannot you see children are raised with fortune that they do not have to make themselves or make efforts on their own? It is somehow problem to educate our kids in China that kids take for granted to get what their parents own. Many Chinese kids are too spoiled but do not have feeling to be thankful. Children should be educated that everything is not eazy to get but they should work out for themselves.How to get LAZY children? You have got your answer. I got my parents help(money) to buy my 2 apartments during my difficult previous time. I am so grateful for my parents. I am going to pay off them after I finally sell them. Amanda

On July 22 2008 Richard Mailed our first package I-130's. Thanks guys. God, I suddenly felt a pang of old age when I thought about how we filled our application in 2006. Good luck to you both on the 9th. tsap seui Thanks!

Thats why it takes a kitchen sink to hold it all... I wonder what the expression on a VO face would be if you brought everything in an actual kitchen sink? HAHA My son will help me to bring this bunch stuff with. That is one of advantages to have a son instead of a daughter, B) ha ha
