I remember when I saw this picture for the first time. I was in the mall in a picture store, it brought tears to my eyes, still does today!

Continental didnt charge my wife any fees on her flight to China in Dec.

Congradulations! I wonder what happen to mine. We applied in Fed 08 and my wife didnt get hers til September of 09 (1 yr 7mos!) and my step daughter got hers in Dec 09(1yr 10mos). This was after multiple calls and opening cases for information. Neither of them had interviews either.

I did the CR-1 as we wanted to be able to leave the States without any problems. I also married my laopo on my first trip over, although we had talked to almost 2 years prior. Dont sweat it, you can get all the info andmore you need to do this right here. Our CR-1 took a year and 3 months. I didnt start the filing until Feb and we married in Jan. I hadnt found this site yet so I was stressing and looking for info. I was a postage stamp away from sending the signed paper work off to an attorney for them to do it. But the line about me still haveing to do all the work and they would just basically double check my paper work and send it on, made me stop. Once I got here it was relatively easy! The painful part is the waiting! Just buy lots of cheetos! And Good Luck, you are, after all, dealing with the US Government and you can always use luck when dealing with them!

Well we finally recieved my wifes 10 yr GC back in August. Yet her daughters is still AWOL. I called USCIS again and put the second request for information on it back in September. Well saturday I recieved an email saying they ordered production of her daughters GC. Sooo almost 2 years after I filed for removal of conditions we get the daughters! But no interview for either of them. They leave Dec 10th for china again and the GC should be here the day before she leaves!

Good riddance! I was thinking the same thing Dave. We have some sitting there for 20 years with appeals, but this guy is gone in 7 years? Personally, I think if you murder someone you should be excuted. Although I think the family members of the one(s) you killed should have the final word in how.

But but guns are bad! Guns Kill!

I wouldnt say it is due to lack of gun control, as we have plenty of laws on the books. It is rather we do not punish the criminals because it is inhumane and let them out so they can commit more and usually more violent crimes.

Congrats! I did the same thing with the im's just a few pages from each month just to be sure, but needed none of it.

When my wife applied to the local CC they gave her a list of the companies that they would accept translated transcripts from. I can not for the life of me remember the name now though, I know they were based in NY. They translated and accredited all her classes and shipped them to the school, we had one shipped to us too. They require unopened transcripts for her schoold in china though. It took a few months to get it going so the earlier you start the better. She was already here so having the school in china send them was difficult. Her degree basically gave her an AS here but she had to take all the english courses and is now going through accounting courses just to get familar with the english terms.

Congradulations! We got the same letter a few weeks ago.

I sent in 2 affidavits, some pics of us with my parents and some friends, and a few bank statements with both our names. Oh and the birth certificate for our son! Waited 11 months and recieved a letter stating she was good and should recieve her 10 yr GC within 60 days. No interview

Congratulations! I remember when I got the phone call, great feeling.

Good Luck! We are debating on wheather or not my wife should go for citizenship.

I filed for my wifes 10 yr GC in Feb of 08, we just recieved the letter stating she will get her 10 yr GC within the next 60 days(no interview!). We went last summer to get her passport stamped with an extension. Just make an infopass appointment and get the extension stamp. I have no experience on traveling on the new stamp, we didnt get a chance too.

Congrats to everyone! I remember when i got an email saying waiting on schduling interview!

Wow, what a scare. Glad it all turned out in the end. Congrats!

I believe he was menaing it as a joke. As much as you tired to keep it just related to your specfic sitution it still got a little off. I am intrested in this thread as well due to my wife thinking about becoming a US citizen, thus i would change her name in the naturalizations process instead of changing the green card name. Kill 2 with one stone, type thing.

Great news! Hope you two will be together soon.

Congradulations and good luck. the CR1's seem to be passing easier then the K1's these days.

We were getting ready to make another info pass appointment to get her passport stamped again b/c they are leave in may to go back toe China for 2 months! Without my it seems too, new job. I will probably starve to death. I feel bad I didnt get to meet you and some of the other guys from Central Fl.

I figured that was all the proof we needed. Showing up to get the stamp in her and Ziwen's greencard for the extension probably helped too.

Well, a year after I filed for removal of conditions from my Laopo and daughter we got the letters stating they have been removed and we should be recieving the new GC's withing 60 days! No interview at all! She is not on the deed to our house either. Just bank account and we have a son!

I went the CR1 route as well. It may take a bit longer then the CR1, but when you get here you get your GC, then SSN and your off. I didnt show proof of owned property or bank or anything and she got over here just fine. With you working over there I would say Cr1/Ir1/DCF would be the best way to go, like mentioned earlier. Have the GC waiting for her, you get to go through the whole process while seeing her every day, you suck for that bye the way! Now that she is here she is on the bank account, was on my ins but now is seperate$$ (I still pay), but that is it. I should probably redo the house but, I dont see why I should put the energy into it, it is a marital asset anyway. They wouldnt let me put her name on the new vehicle casue she didnt have a job so we put her car in her name alone, she wanted to "own" something. We do have a 13 month old son now, so if that aint proof of relationship I am not sure what is.

At least you got the letter staing her status has been extended for another year, my wife and daughters letter never got to us. We made an info pass appt and they stamped bother their passports with the extention. That was in July and we have to set up another appt b/c we still have not recieved anything for her GC interview adn they will be going to China for the summer. On the Biometrics, they both recieved the letter the same day and had the same appt time. The people there were really nice the girls doing the fingerprints were haveing a ball with my daughter. I would definately bring both letters and see if they can get them both done at the same time.
