thanks - yes she owns the property Her ID card will also expire

My wife will probably pass her citizenship test this week. I don't know at what point she no longer is a Chinese citizen. Her Chinese passport expires next Jan. She still owns a home in Ningbo but has been told once she becomes a US citizen she will not be able to claim it since she will have no identification. Anybody have any experience with this?

Hi all Long time since I visited - life is busy! We are trying to apply for citizenship for my wife and step daughter. I'm quite confused reading the USCIS guide. By the time my wife gets citizenship my step-daughter will be 17. Will she be able to just get a passport or will she need to file N-600? The forms don't indicate that we need supporting documents, but some posts here do - can you tell me which is correct? thanks

The most depressing season in my 10 years on Buffalo. And now I have to go to MA for Christmas and eat crow in front of my siblings

I'm jumping off the Peace Bridge today - no more heartbreak for me

Hmmm...Didn't they just lose to a stinky Patriots team a few days ago???

Wow, I've been reading your posts for so many years now. It's so great that it finally worked out for you Congrats

I think the problem is Her parents have no assets and essentially no income (rent from Jenny's home in China provides most of their income) The odds to her seem almost nil that they could get a tourist visa. If she is a USC is it more or less likely that she could get her parents over for a visit. Her parents are pretty adament that they do not want to live here, so it is not about getting an I130.

Hi All I have several questions that maybe some can answer. My wife is considering becoming a citizen. I think that the reason is so that she can get her parents over here for a visit. Is there really a better chance for her parents to get a tourist visa if she is a a USC? How long does this process take? She would like them to come next summer, but I suspect that like most immigration applications it will take months to get citizenship and then months for her parents to get a visa. any other thoughts about this? thanks

No doubt the Bills are going to the SuperBowl. I told my Dad (a Pat's fan in MA) that we will shatter the Pats record of last year!! Loved the Patriot-Miami game yesterday

Congrats Ed and Ying! Glad its over for you. We're enjoying not having to do any more of this stuff for a long while.

Finally got her 10 year GC today. We filed at VCS in Oct. Jenny had her biometrics in Jan but USCIS missed her daughter on the application. After numerous phone calls got that straigtened out. My step daughter had her biometrics 2 weeks ago and we got GC pretty quick after that. No, she's not going to leave me....yet

You can add your step daughter on the application. However, USCIS might miss it, as they did my step daughter. I had to call 4-5 times to get her name in their computer.

Nice to hear - Remember being in GZ with you. Hope ours comes soon.

Congratulations Lee!!
