We've gone through the document intake years ago but it was pretty straight forward of handing in the medical documents. We had a IR1 visa interview.

Congrats glad to hear you got it quickly.

Congratulations!

I've travelled with baby before. I think your best option would be the direct flight to YYZ and the drive. It's not easy in baby with the ascending and descending portions if flight. Get a forward facing car seat and you can let her sleep in it inflight if you buy her a ticketed seat.

I wouldn't worry. My wife didn't receive her 10 yr. green card until about three weeks. As long as your wife has her I-551 stamp she will not have any issues. Congrats to you both.

Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

I'm not sure where to post this question. Please move it to the right forum.
We are planning a trip back to China. I was told by someone that since my wife is a Chinese citizen still. Our son and I are able to get longer duration visas with multiple entries. Does anyone know the specifics of it? I was also told we need invitation letters to, has anyone gotten a visa as a spouse of Chinese national recently? What should the invitation letter from my wife state? Can she write the letter for me and our son standing just 10 feet away?
Thanks -
I think it's crazy to be put through that. They are waitresses and hostesses, not military recruits.

It is very tragic and senseless act. My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected. As a parent myself I know this is a worst nightmare.

Congratulations. I was wondering where you go maternity shopping. When my wife was pregnant she shopped Destination Maternity I think it was called. The clothes fit and feel great but she spent a great amount there. Where do you guys get good deals from? It will be useful to know for the next time around.

Mike, I don't believe it makes a difference where the USC. I personally didn't know there was even a limit for sibling visas in a household. I only knew that they had limits, and greencard holders have to wait for availability.
-
Mike if I remember correctly a green card holder has to wait for an immediate relative visa to become available because they have limits on that classification of visa issued. An immediate relative if a US citizen has no limits of visas to be issued.
Others will correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I recall.

Every time I've entered China they never ask what's in my suitcases. However I'm not a Chinese citizen. Maybe different rules for visitors but that seems odd to me.

Mike, my wife got her IR-1 in summer of 2008. There was no issues that was hindered the approval. We already had a long history together with me going to visit her twice every year until we filed for her IR-1. We supplied ample evidence with the application.
I'll give you more details when I am on my laptop.

Mike,
I was going to take my wife and our son to Chongqing next month to visit. I haven't been able to get our son to drink powdered milk and we are concerned about the safety of the food and milk there. Although my wife was born and raised there. She's more concerned about food safety.
Where in Chongqing will you travel to? We live in Jiangbei district when we go back to our "vacation home".
Had an awful experience the first time we took our son back when he was just over 8 months. I hope future trips will be better. I've been to Chongqing twice a year since 2001 until 2008 that's when my wife joined me in the states.

Good to know your sister in law knows the area and how to get there. It's been a long time since we've been to Chengdu. Feel free to ask as much questions as you want. It's a daunting processes to go through flawlessly and nerve whacking at the very least when things don't go as expected. It's better to know how to do it right from the beginning rather than go at it a second time around.

I got married Chongqing. Your sister in law's fiance will need to go to the US Consulate in Chengdu. He will need his passport and her Chinese ID card. The Consulate is on Lingshiguan Lu.
He will need to swear under oath that he is free to marry and intends to marry. The whole process takes about 15 minutes if they are not busy. Just wait in the lobby after you passed through security.
The Chinese party must wait outside however. Go there on a good weather day. The benches outside the consulate in Chengdu are not sheltered nor comfortable. You'll need to walk a block or so to the Consulate if a taxi is dropping you off there.
While out in Chengdu visit the panda sanctuary there. We did and it was quite fun. There is a high speed rail now from Chongqing to Chengdu that takes about 2 hours point to point.
If either had a previous marriage you will probably need documentation that it was finalized. I don't know as it didn't apply to us. Good luck.
Also while out in Chengdu try the Peking duck there. It's pretty good.

Most electronics with USB charging capability will trickle charge drawing roughly 550 mA. The exceptions are of course the newer smart phones and tablets.

The figures show you can charge three at those power requirements without increasing the charge time.

I apologize I read that wrong. As usual Dan's knowledge supersedes.

Congrats and good luck.

If you're a US Citizen and this newborn is your child. The newborn is a US Citizen regardless of where the birth takes place. You need to register the birth abroad with the US Consulate.
