I know Jenny doesn't like the terms either and doesn't want me to call her by that name. Must be some negative connotation

If you have on-line banking - can't you print out copies of your statements. Not sure I would go all the way to interview without Bank Statement the I-134 Instructions list: A- Statement from Bank B-letter of employment C - if self-employed - income tax return instructions say to bring "any or all" documents pertinant to your situation. So I guess I would err on the side of safety and take kitchen sink approach, even if you don't need.

My bank had been bought out by another so they could not search back. So I just brought in my statements, the manager added up the total deposits for the year and printed out a couple of copies. If one branch won't do it go to another. The bank has been very helpful with notarizing things and and this. Just need to be nice and search out helpful people.

Great news Carl. Hope things go quickly so you can help your SO.

Never met a woman that didn't expect you to read her mind

We were getting the "3 or 4 month" canned responses 3 days before we got the interview date. My SO thought we Americans were so rude to send out such automated responses. Wait until the next batch of P4 flies before worrying

Big problem is with kids. I live near Niagra Falls. Whenever people come to see it, they always want to go to the Canadian side. So touriist industry is not happy. People don't normally get passports for kids. And I'm sure my ex would never sign for my kids.

Yeah, they're screaming loud and hard about that here. Don't worry, Hillary is on the case and I'm sure we won't need it for Canada

sounds like you will be busier changing dresses. Have fun!

What?!!?? Can't give up the Bills

True, but the rotten apples need to be taken out of the pile before the whole basket of fruit turns rotten! 149446[/snapback] I would never argue that point... but the point is... we still have the best law enforcement system in the world... in my opinion 149450[/snapback] I agree, I think as a society we tend to be overcritical of our government and authority figures. Maybe its a 60's holdover.

The next couple of weeks should have plenty of emotion. My adrenalin glands are working OT

My SO told me she doesn't mind doing all the housework. But she thinks things like gardening and DIY are work that she is not too enthused about. She is very used to hiring people to do just about anything around her house.

We made sure to date our letters of intent after the final divorce decree. Legally, you are still married the day before your divorce is final, so I don't think any document dated before that is legal.

I saw several Christian churches. Even had our "wedding photos" in front of one. The State regulates them (e.g. the Pope has no authority), but they do have worship services above ground

Would certainly agree that my Chinese SO sees the world far different than me and far different from any American woman I ever met. Difference such as in this report are so subtle that you would never think of them.

Well Bill, you're a bit non-chalant about this visa stuff or did I miss a post Congratulations!!

I guess I fit the profile - educated, introverted and employed for 27 years same company. And I was tired of dating American woman whose hair was shorter than mine and dressed more manly. I guess I'm a loser HaHa- he who has last laugh, laughs best

One small step for women... er .. Congrats

The sleep deprivation is killing both of us. My bedroom floor if knee deep in photos, docs, snail mails, and luggage (got to bring 2 large empties). Now the NWA strike is building stress.

What???? I thought you were hillbilly

I remember there was an Internet Cafe near the old consulate - Does any one know if that is true near the new one? Also, if anyone knows of restaurants near the new consulate where people could meet, that would be great to pass along.

Well there is a man on 001 that rents 1 and 2 BR apartments out as hotel rooms. We have booked a 2 Br with LR and Kitch for very reasonable rate. His contact info Yang Jiahua whose cell phone is 86-137-2484-2886.

We got those and a cute DVD of them playing with some background love song. Real cute. Why not include?

Well second box showed up 10 days after first. Must have come over on different boats
