Go shopping and be happy. Stay away from politcs.

Did they say you passed and then give you the form saying your case is being "Continued for the following Reasons"? Good Job.

My bedroom closet runs the full legnth of the room and has full length mirrored doors. The section that is oppisite the bed now has curtians. Also the bathroom door must remain closed because it is a "dirty room".

Kind of sprung it on you? I came home from work at the end of the week last February and my wife said we were going to Las Vagas with her cousin for the weekend. Since it was a last minute thing I paid through the nose for the car rental and hotel. Also they wanted to leave during the evening commute so it took us 2 hours just to get out of the Bay Area. Though it was an expensive weekend she had a great time. I just mentioned that we need to plan those kind of things a little bit in advance.

My wife's sisters encourage me to speak Cantonese. When I do, they just start laughing. I think they may be playing a game on me.

My bag went missing on a flight from GZ to Guilin. The lady at the baggage claim said it happens all the time. The bag arrived at our hotel about five hours later.

costco card? im not even married yet and shes already got vicky's and a damn bank card with her new name on it.... keep her busy for a while.... and me 206103[/snapback] But they put your photo on it.

Don't forget to get her a Costco Card.

Now, that's an idea. Maybe it would be possible to conclude the interview as scheduled, so the consulate can issue the visa immediately upon receipt of the namecheck. Make some inquiries and see if it's possible. 206006[/snapback] Since you are there, you may as well go over and press the issue. As mentioned, it may be a simple error on the part of the local help. Once vented, get a game plan going.

We took that tour also. Here's what CTRIP says: The Dujiangyan Irrigation system is a miracle of ancient Chinese ingenuity. Before the completion of Dujiangyan, the plains around the Min River were prone to floods due to the fast moving Min River flowing down from its mountain source and meeting flat ground. It was in the Warring States period about 2200 years ago, that the engineer Li Bing and his son led the construction of the Dujiangyan irrigation system that tamed the Min River and irrigated the surrounding plains. The central brilliant idea of the project is the annual silt removal and maintenance plan devised by Li Bing that ensures the projects long-term usefulness. The actual structure of the project includes a dyke that divides the Min River into inner and outer flows. The inner flow is then redirected to irrigate local farm land. One interesting thing about the irrigation system is the that project is ongoing and has expanded to more than three times its original irrigated area of 1 million hectares. The Fulong Temple (Fulong Guan) was erected in 168 AD to commemorate the taming of the river. Fulong Temple sits in Lidui Park overlooking the split between the inner and outer flows of the Min River. Also, Li Bing's genius is again celebrated at the Two Kings Temple (Erwang Miao) near the dyke. The "two kings", of course, are Li Bing and his son, Er Lang. Two Kings Temple can be found in the western section of Yulei Park overlooking the dyke. There are cable cars that run between Lidui Park and Two Kings Temple in Yulei Park. The relatively high fares of RMB25 per ride keep the cable car's passengers to a reasonable number. How to get there:Buses to Dujiangyan run from Chengdu's Ximen bus station every morning from 7am to 10am. Also buses are available from the Chengdu north bus station leaving every hour until 5:30pm. Returning to Chengdu, there are minibuses leaving from along Taiping Jie near the Dujiangyan Bus Station until approximately 8pm. Chinese Net Friends' Suggestions: I recommend to you a typical itinerary, that you can go in at the south gate and travel quickly through the park, memorial and shop, then cross a bridge and take the one-way car to Fish Mouth (Yuzui) with RMB10 fare. Go over the chain bridge (Suoqiao) to Erwang Temple and Qinyan Tower after the Fish Mouth tour. The chain bridge is very characteristic and a little dangerous when the current is swift. Additionally, you also could enjoy the whole scenery of Dujiangyan Irrigation System from Qinyan Tower, where you can go out of the scenic spot. This way, you can take the bus NO.1 to have lunch at DICOS and go to Qingcheng Mountain or Qingcheng Back Mountain from the Bus Transport Centre. There are a lot of residences near Qingcheng Mountain which are 1-4 star grade hotels and some local houses spreading over the back mountain. The charges are 40-80 yuan one night and the cuisine here tastes partially spicy.

The guy just ask us if we would like to submit anything in referance to joint assets. There was nothing specific. If you have her on your 2005 tax return and your bank accounts I think that should do it. Can't mess with the IRS. Utilities, housing, insurance & banking. Keep it simple. Our guy seemed like he did not want to be overwhelmed with excess paperwork and photos. Understanding English in order to answer the "are you a commie" questions is important. It would seal the deal if she was pregnant.

Your are right. All NOAs and of course passport with visa & i94. Copies of everything you submitted for AOS. Mainly financial stuff and 2005 taxes. The officer will go through and take inventory. You will also need things like "joint assets" stuff. Bank account, utilities ect. SSC or printout with SSN. A couple of extra photos. Other than that, check with David. Just remember it is your wife's interview and not your's. Personal questions will be asked. A "stress situation" maybe invoked to see how you respond as a couple. Also I got the impression we were watched on video as we waited since the receptionist told us to sit in a certian area, in the center. Everybody was kind of spread out in the various waiting areas. Be Happy

Now you can submit you I751 around New Years 2008. That should be an easy date to remember.

My wife's friend from school was asked: "What's the color of your husband's underwear he is wearing today."

You probably passed and are just waiting for the finger prints to clear; they check for criminal background. Did you get a "Case Continued" letter?

A good question to consider is if you really need AP. $170 is the fee.

Had the same thought myself.

That's what we were told in June of last year. I hope you have better luck then us. The good news is the we may get a 10 year card a this rate. Cheers 204531[/snapback] We're use to the slow security but she is happy that she can now carry her EAD card as her first official US form of ID. Now she wants to go back to COSTCO and get her own card.

Just got back from the interview today. The guy was a bit hardcore at first and asked my wife if she could speak English; she said "a little". He wasn't pleased with her answer but my wife said she could handle it. He asked for: All ID's for both of us. A copy of my 2005 tax return. Employment Letter. Evidence of relationship, PG&E and Phone Bill. Two "happy photos". Then asked my wife the "are you a commie" questions. He then went through the stack of papers and looked at our marriage certificate and asked where we got married. The conversation then became casual and I was allowed to speak. He told my wife her English was good and the GC will be issued once the FBI clears her finger prints. Also she got to keep her EAD card. All done.

I take it she went back to China without AP. (K1?)

Are you in China( or HK) with her? Did she go by herself? We need to know who is where and with what travel docs before someone can advise.

Are you saying you are stuck in HK?

If you work with SafeWay you may have to join the union. Better check. http://www.ufcw480.org/Service%20Representative.htm
