Dallas, Texas has a publication, Dallas Chinese News
Telephone: 972.680.9578.
I'm bringing a copy to Xiao Mei for her reading and to get a sense of the community.

Sounds like all the more reason to be present for the interview. I wonder how many of the stolen visas are reproduced and/or sold? Surely there is a control number on it (such as our Chinese visas).
-
Wonderful News. Thank you for such a detailed report.
Welcome to the USA!

A Chinese co-worker made the suggestion of bringing American Ginseng as a gift. He tells me that it the most 'balanced' of the ginsengs.
Tell us how it came out? How'd you like it?
-
Wonderful! God-Speed!

Lao po knows best. When in China, do what lao po says. You'll have fun there, or at least wonderment.
Amen to that!
Besides, she is most likely very proud of her country (as she should be!) and has her own way she'd like to show it to you.

I did not know any of this on my trip, and hugged Jen when we first met, hugged and kissed her good-bye at the airport, and even hugged her sister good-bye in the hotel lobby. I never had any hint of doing anything wrong or unexpected.
It was so very difficult to not have one last good-bye kiss and embrace at the airport. My precious Xiao Mei had kept a straight face all the time, no quivering lips but her eyes were filled with tears. This is the part I dread the most about my return trip. Leaving her again.

Bob, I had one of those huge "regret" moments as soon as I sent it. This is not about you, me, or politics, and I want to apoligize to you in the same forum where I made my mistake. (PM me if you wanna strap me to the whippin' post, so this topic can return to its original intent.)
Please no regrets and no offense was taken on my part. As far as I'm concerned we are all family here talking around the kitchen table, OK?
-
Sorry for any misunderstandings; my comments were directed at both parties.
-
Wonderful!!!
I'm very happy for you two.

I'm worried!
My attorney's legal assistant claims that everything was sent on 4/6/05 and that their office has received a notice, but I have not received ANYTHING!!!!
Time to call the attorney?
-
I totally agree. Especially when we are suppose to have such a strong "Family Value" government!
If they believe that XiaoMei and I are committing fraud then watch us, check in on us for the first year. But allow my wife to live with me.
This "process" has led to some serious discussions about me leaving the USA and living with my wife in China. China is considering a so-called Green Card system of their own you know. Were it not for my son (he's 25) I would take her up on her offer and chuck everything away here and live with her.

My heartfelt congratulations!
Welcome WeiQin !

...I saw many women witht red tints, a few blondes and even a few young men with blond hair...

Oh the corruption of the West.

Oh No! I will not subject my darling Lao puo to the IRS until she gets a Visa.
No Visa no taxes!

Thank you everyone! Such great ideas!
I did buy our Mother two boxes of American ginseng because a Chinese friend said it was the best 'balanced' of all of the ginseng types. (And would give her 'bragging rights' with her friends.)
I collect coins. So for her siblings I purchased from the US Mint the Texas state quarter spoons. Not fancy, maybe a little cheezy, but they aren't made in China
as was my beloved Longhorn hat. -
What happened is horrible and I am so sorry that your SO had this experience.
I grew up in East Texas during the pre-Civil Rights years. The racism was blatant and disgusting to almost everyone, but almost everyone choose not to rock-the-boat.
I really do not know that I would have handled it as gracefully and as correctly as you did.
-
I had limited experience with chop-sticks; the occasionaly oriental food, sushi bar etc... My Precious SO made certain that at each meal I was given a fork. I always thanked her but was willing to starve before using a fork in China
The family was happy to see my efforts (and progress!) and I was amused to see them suppress their laughter. -
I'm seeing my wife in 2 weeks!!!
I have gifts for mother, brothers, sisters and my new daughter, but what is a special present for her? When I ask her she only says "You". Very loving, no help. Anything I mention she says "We buy here" or "Do not spend money on me".
I'm speaking in broad terms here. Anybody have experience with gifts from the USA (and not made in China) that are considered "special"?
Also what are the DON'Ts? Is it not OK to buy your wife lingerie? Clothing?
-
One reason for the delay between our marriage and the filing is that I returned from China to learn that my best friend had died. I and another friend were to handle his estate.
Now Hal was very generous and had left me a few very expensive items of furniture. Xiao Mei said No. So I gave those pieces to others.
Anything to please my sweet lao puo.
-
Show support? Interesting. My SO actually does very well in China (TV related) and she doesn't need any money from me nor will she accept any. (She has no interest in pursuing that career over here.)
Whenever we estimate that she is 4 months away from the interview I have asked that she quit her job and focus on more intensive English language courses. I will send money during that time so not to burden the family.
As for visits, I receive two weeks of vacation each year and have booked both weeks in 2005 to be with her and my family in China.

Will my wife have to pay any taxes when she enters the USA? (I'm not talking about afterwards when she works. I'm asking about transferring monies into the US banks from the Chinese banks.)

I'm leaving in a few hours for Beijing. I'll let you know how that went re: carry-on restrictions.
But was the template any smaller than those used by the US?
