ok Thoa's son, has father name on the Birth certificate, but the father not seen the son. he been around but totally ignore the son, even thou Thoa's mother trying to get them married *sign* Thoa said she has no Idea where he at, and say that viet nam law give her full rights since she never been married to him. the Boy is 3 years old and do not know who his father is. (side note is he ask his mom is I was going to be his dad, have to say I feel very fatherly at the moment) Question do we need the father permission to get the boy here? yes the trouble soul asking another stupid question Robert

I know I know already ask her to nix it if she can. Robert

yes a death does effect event in viet nam, no one in the family can marry for 100 days after the death, her brother was to marry next month now that postponed. robert

I had a interesting talk with my SO seem that because her mother is in the hospital and can not go the the grandmother grave, Thoa been going everyday and take a boiled egg to eat at the grave, said they have to do it for 50 days after her grandmother death, lot of eggs robert

interesting too that the filing system is old and need to be updated to a person base file thus speeding up the process robert

okay, I should have been more specific, she is in High School and her English is pretty fair.... 135874[/snapback] SMSU in Springfield Missouri has a campus in Dalian China in Business degrees, require at least 12 credit hours of school there before allow to become a exchange student with SMSU in springfield missouri. cost is Tutition fee for the classes. I do know one student that had thier parent pay for everything just so student show education in america. might want to inquire about it. www.smsu.edu under china campus.

Robert, I would seriously not receoomend this course of action. To file the I-130, you need a certified copy of the license, at least in China. If you do the K-1 route, and when they get to a name check, and find out that you are married, then you could be royally screwed, and you could end up with a longer wait than you planned. For now, from one of your last posts, I would just let Thoa handle from her end. Just a thought. Best of Luck Mark 135857[/snapback] What everyone is not understanding is, our wedding is NOT OFFICIAL until the government official sign the document and I do not see that likely happening anytime soon. So I'm going to go ahead with a K-1 since we have no papers saying we married. IF the official do sign it and make official I'm going to go ahead and file a K-3 if and when that happen. At the moment I doubt very much we will get a marriage license from the person. If they did a single status on her itwill show she is single so K-1 is what I'm doing. She does know someone that willlet us know if that change. if Vietnam not going to give us a marriage license, We have one here in the States when she get her. just to remind everyone There is no Marriage License ISSUED! *sign* at least as far as we know because if there was one issue I be doing the K-3. robert fustrated!

if I get the license we go the k-3 evenwith the wait, even if it take longer, going to go ahead with the K-1 just to be safe. either way we win, she be here as a K-1 or a K-3 just one will take longer than the other. She worth the wait. Robert

She going in next week and find out what going on, she taking 2 friends along so she not be hassle. at the moment her mother in the hospital with stress problems due to grandmother passing away. Thoa has enough stress as is, with caring for a family, (3grandparents, her son and baby sitting her sister son )working and then taking mother to hospital and on top of that visiting her grandmother grave everyday because her mother can't. so not trying to pile anything else on her until her mother get home and calm down some. still not sure on the marriage part. we did have a wedding we did have all the paper sign just needed government approval. Thoa been talking to a lady in the office and we might get it change over or dicarded until after she here on a K-1 and we go back and have one there after we marry here, for her family and friends. Robert why do a snag throw off all the work you plan ahead for. for some odd reason I seem to be completely out of balance on the K-1 process after having my mind focus on the K-3 for so long.

As some of you know we had a wedding but no official license, due to a corrupt official, well she recieve word that the paperwork may go ahead be process and we get our license, but was told it could be next week or next January. I'm doing the K-1 but if the license come through I'm going to have to re file as a K-3? and what do I do if they make it official a month before interview?????? I swear someone up there is laughing themself silly. I don'twant to have to file all over again. I have 2 wonderful people in my life and do not want to be apart from her, I read that a single status is good for 6 months? my thinking is having her file one every month until license issue and not say anything but then is they find out!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR life not easy is it. robert
