  1. She will need to be physically present to add her to the title as this is a change of title, If the vehicle is purchased by joint ownership, why do both parties have to be present? Can I sign for my spouse? The real issue is getting your ex off the title, until that is done you cannot do anything with the title without the ex signing off on the transaction. This may be covered in your divorce decree. Something you might be able to do is add her to the title to your home if you are listed as the sole owner, this is usually done by only requiring the owners signature. Be cautious how you list the names when doing this otherwise if you need to sell it before she is physically present it could be difficult.
  2. By the time May 11 gets here you will have more than a shade of gray thing going on. B) Congratulations
  3. Be cautious with this question. Before you answer you should review every document involved in from beginning through today to confirm the exact wording of the questions that were asked and how they were answered. Pay close attention to the wording and be sure you understand what was asked and answered. This can be critical, because if the USCIS sees anything on the naturalization forms that conflicts with prior documents life can get extremely unhappy.
  4. If China decides to tax items manufactured in China to help clean up the environment so be it, they will probably be more fair about it than most countries. The added cost to goods imported in the US would probably be minimal. If they taxed the companies the down side would be that most contracts only pay a fixed amount for the goods and the labor force would end up eating the cost instead of including expense to the end user.
  5. Most will answer #32 & 33 as NO. Remember this is a common form that is used for all types of visas. Her intended purpose in coming to the US is to get married, not getting a job or going to school. Adding school and work to the mix, even with clarifications, only gives the VO additional areas they could cover during the interview. Only use #34 if she has a child who is coming with her.
  6. k2 fills out the same forms as the k1, minus the ds 156k and gni-2 found in the p4. good luck. ok thank you on the ds-156 & ds-157 where it says to sets I understand the set is one in chinese and one english. where it says all information in chinese must be translated and notarized does this mean the 156 & 157 forms too, beings there is one copy in english already? The DS 156 & 157 should be filled out according to the forms language. The all information part is concerning evidence such as birth record, police certificate, single certificate and divorce certificates. Plus any other evidence you wish to submit that is in Chinese.
  7. So much for a Chinese attorney, doesn't sound like they understand the Chinese legal system. You needed to get the text required by the state translated into Chinese, then have them go to the Notary office to sign it in and have the notary office translate it. It might be as simple as having him go to the notary office and explain the permission he is wanting to grant to you and have them put together a simple statement and translate it. He will need your name, address and such. You would want 2 copies of this as one would become part of the court records in CA.
  8. It's pretty late in the process, in case your friend didn't address this in his initial application. I would hand write a letter of evolution of relationship letter and get it notorized. Address the previous marriages in the EOR letter. Also, make sure his lady CLEARLY understand his previous divorces, she may well be asked questions about the ex's, like divorce dates, reason's for divorces, length of marriages, etc. Good luck to them both. tsap seui The friend needs to try to locate the addresses and SSN's of all the previous spouses as that is one of the things listed on the interview letter.
  9. It means they will refer you to this letter on any inquiries made in the next 60 - 90 days as they are making an inquiry. Just gotta wait it out.
  10. The attorney is correct, it's the method used to establish the relationship as implemented by the consulate that can be extremely painful and lengthy. GUZ has a reputation for not making things easy when they don't need to be hard.
  11. I understand that it's a public holiday for families to take care and visit their loved ones that have passed. Just checked my calendar - it's there for the 5th. ChingMing - does it have something to do with the Ming tombs, if I remember right? Goes back to 206 BC - not exactly new Yep, I remember the first one, but not clearly as I've slept since then.
  12. Good news. I hadn't heard of this happening before, but I'm young.
  13. I agree with Charles here. The form clearly states to list all children of the fiance, and that you sign under penalty of perjury. Talk to the lawyer. I don't believe it is quite that drastic an issue. I would update the I-129F and G-325a then send them with a cover letter referencing your case number to VSC explaining that you misunderstood the form and ask them to ammend your initial petition. Basically fall on your sword and blame it on stupidity, government workers really do understand that one. The idea is to get it before the USCIS before it gets approved so you don't have to do this in GUZ, who is much less understanding of these things.
  14. If you didn't include her on the I-129F you may experience difficulties when it comes to the interview, as now your fiancee has a child you didn't include on the original petition. It's not that you can't add her after the fact, but someone might question how she suddenly gained a daughter that she didn't have before.
  15. Don't forget to file the change of address for the affidavit of support as well.
  16. Just be sure to take all your previous documents with you along with a nice supply of relationship evidence gained since she arrived in the US. We even supplied copies of His and Her's gym membership cards and pictures of us out with friends.
  17. We went to a theme park of sorts in Beijing, there is a big difference in expectations and design in China compared to the US. The creators of the park should have done more research before launching into their standard park design. As for the Chinese not knowing Mickey, my son arrive in the US with a full set of Mickey clothing and bedding including a Mickey backpack. While it may not have been officially trademarked merchandise at the age of 10 he was proud to have everything from Mickey underwear to bed sheets. I've also seen women in China wearing Mickeyware.
  18. I've pinned this topic, hopefully we will see some action that will put an end to the fiefdom that has existed in GUZ for years and the consulate will return to being a member of the Republic.
  19. I'd be if you were holding a note for about a trillion dollars from the US Government might make you a bit nervous and concerned. The Chinese have good reason to be concerned as the risk they are currently facing is WAY OUTSIDE of the traditional Chinese comfort zone. I'm not blaming the administration for this, but congress showed absolutely no constraint in their latest budget given the circumstances.
  20. so if I go and marry her in a few month I could have her fill out a W-7 and I could start declareing 2 then file joint as 2 dependents and get more money back at the end of the year also. Right now they are holding about 400 amonth out on taxes but if I declare 2 I should get an extra 200 to send her now I can only afford to send her 200 because of the economy. She does have a job making 15$ a month I wonder if she will have to declare that or not? We are planning on having a child also so the baby will get a ss right away and I can declare 3. You do not have to report her income. You can Google the W7 and find the form with instructions. I think you do have to report her income for the MFJ status But the first $70K (has it changed recently?) of income earned outside the US is tax exempt. Probably there is a separate form for reporting such income. IMO, if I find a woman in China making $70K who wants to marry me, I will move to China and let her support me in the style to which I should be accustomed. (just kidding) If you are using the first-year choice, all of the foreign income is treated as US income so there is no exemption for foreign income in that case. If you file jointly you do need to report your spouse's income, but since you don't have a W-2 or 1099 you need to ask your spouse to help you calculate the amount of income to report. I'd suggest explaining how income is taxed including the rate, also that it appears the IRS does not have a method to verify China income and that this puts it purely on the honor system. Then ask your spouse how much income they remember making that should be reported to the IRS to be taxed at whatever rate this would be remembering that this might include paying social security on that income. Be sure your spouse understands the situation and I believe you will discover that they might not have been completely truthful about their income and in fact they didn't make anything all year, but were just trying to make you feel secure about finances and with the difference in language you misunderstood the answer.
  21. With US banks lowering credit limits on long time customers with excellent credit and the current firedrill going on in Congress on how best to borrow and spend money I can see why China is concerned. Hopefully our administration can calm their fears.
