Eric&Yuhui

Damn. I got to come here more often.... This is ridiculous GZ at its best again.... ( 2002 Flashbacks ! ) Fortunately, we now have to deal with Miami Center only, which by the way updated recently their timeline for AOS processing from August 2001 to January 2003.. Riiiight..... Welcome immigrants ! We'll process you just as son as we can ! 2 weeks or more !! ( remember, you August 2002 , consulate WTF slippers ?? :-)

You go girl !! :-) Eric&Yuhui Blissfully married March 03..... And soon to be Homeowners in crazy-going real-estate FL LOL

Carl, Check out Visarite http://www.visarite.com/ Very fast service if you need it. I have used them 3 times. I concur. I used them to, and also buy Biz seats from them.. Cheap ! Good luck. This is terrible and Yuhui and I are sorry about the setback..

BCIS revisited... Geez.... Same people, new name, same bullshit and tricks 54 cents /mn for hearing the same nonsense we used to hear for free ? Damn, I'm glad my honey has her visa and is here. I don't have use for that GZ number anymore, thank God, but I am really p*** off...

That's actually what I meant even if I didn't adequately phrase it... Blah. It's been a busy month! That's correct. You MUST have an ongoing ticket when entering HK or you are asking for troubles. Yuhui just showed her ticket to Australia to get in HK... And the ticket to the US the second time around

Someone sent him the toilet seat scrub CDL-Handbook already ? Congrats ! Have fun !

"any American citizen adopting any foreign child under 18 can be granted automatic citizenship" For the child? I doubt this seriously. What is the law reference Bob? Thanks

No matter how many times you do it. I've heard that BCIS have issued a few memos.. like medical check extension and so on.. Have we missed anything earth shattering lately? Take care all

I got tickets already..We'll all got dressed up and dined/wined beforehand... I'll post if I score kids.. If I don't she'll have to swim back to L.A ! Juuust kidding :-)

Yuhui , Mom and I went fishing today....while Frenchie Sis and hubby and family are in New Orleans with the 4 kids... ( break for us here ! LOL ) Yuhui got sea sick.. Poor thing..ditto with Mom while watching Yuhui ( first time I ever saw her getting sea sick . Our whole family was practically born on boats ) Anyway, we were not snubbing you fine folks.. Just doing our family thing here.. Cheers !

Thanks Mick... Poor yuhui might be overwhelmed Last time I had my Mom and a few others here was 1994....

Robert Yes, My family flew in last night Paris-Miami.. I hate this !%!@#$% airport ! I do understand Montrealese....( can't help the giggle though ) But I barely make out the Haitianese... Yuhui brought back a tape from the library by mistake a few weeks ago, trying to learn French.. poor thing ! This opera night at the Sydney landmark is gonna be great.. We can't wait.. She said this was toooo romantic ..... I think I stand a chance guys !

ROFL ! Good one !! Pretty romantic huh ??

Well right now, poor wife took entire gang to mall ( 7 ) ... I love her Thank God, I was working !

Ditto! MIck thank God !! I thought I was going crazy.....

And I mean it !

That might not be a bad idea.... As long as the exchange rate is still sliding. I haven't looked at the Dollar-Yuan exchange rate lately, but a year ago I thought about purchasing Euros.... It would have returned about 20 or 30% in a year. I know that the Ruble has been stable at 30 Rubles to the dollar for quite a while. When talking to one of Irina's uncles I asked him what he thought about the last decade. His biggest complaint was that prior to the fall of the USSR, the exchange rate valuation was held at approximately 1 Ruble = 1 Dollar. Extremely rapidly, it fell from the 1-1 ratio to 30-1. Of course, wages fell quite a bit too, but not all durable goods fell in values as much. Think of it, if you had $3000 or currency, it's buying power just became equivalent of $100. $30,000 is suddenly $1,000. Wages equivalent to $100 per day is suddenly $3 / day!!!!!!! Not everything fell. Imported goods remained relatively high in cost. Housing is almost priced out of reach of most Russians. Anyway, I can't imagine seeing the Ruble fall any further, I presume the same woudl be with the Yuan. Both countries would likely benefit from an increase of value of their currency vs the Yuan, even if it reduces the trade. You don't have to.. It's pegged... 1 USD = 8.27 CNY
