LiandLarry

Biometrics and pic was done on 8/19. Still waiting to hear about interview. Very quick it seems Li

Thanks for everyone's input. We mailed I-751 on July 28. Check was cleared on July 31. We got I-797C on Aug. 1. Today we received a letter from CA DMV to extend my driver license. We didn't think about the driver license's extension. We will keep you posted. Li

Hello everyone, Li's green card is up for removal of conditions since it is within 90 days of the 2 year expiration. Today I mailed to the California Service Center a packet with photocopies of documents and some pics. I am wondering what timeline others who have gone through this part of the process through CFC have had. Is is possible to get the 10 year green card without having to go to a formal interview? On a lighter note, this weekend we went to the Dragon Boat races in Long Beach, CA and they had entertainment, it was pretty interesting. We also went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Baily circus. I have not been in 35 years and she thought is was very entertaining and amazing. We both had a great time together. Take care, Larry

Li had the computer set on Chinese characters. I typed "Thank you very much" and that is what came up. I can not read characters but I guess she communicates with family and friends in China with that program. Larry

̸¿Ú¶ùÓï Thank you very much

I am a little confused on when to apply for the extended AOS. Li came here on April 28th 2006. We married on June 30th 2006 and she got her green card in August 2006. I remember that you can apply no more than 90 days before the date. Is that the Green Card issue date? I think I heard something about not going to an interview too. Any help would be very welcome. Larry

The many CCTV Chinese television stations run by the government and the government run newspapers I am sure had a sound bite or quote. Why don't the Chinese people who the government states feelings were hurt let them hear all of the news. If anyone believes that the Chinese are not aware of the complaints of the U.S. it is because of the Communist run media tries blocking the internet. They only hear the sound bites on TV and the newspaper. If the government cared for the people and actually wanted to lift them out of poverty instead of strengthing the state, the Chinese would hear the whole story but they do not hear this at all. Some Chinese actually do go on the internet which I am sure their government hates and they hear both sides of the story. Jack should not have made a blanket statement making it sound like ALL Chinese, but he was pretty much right when it comes to the Communist Government and those in the party.

When Li and my case was stuck at NVC for over ONE YEAR I think we both went crazy too. It was Maura Harty's assistants who got the whole thing unstuck in less than 5 working days. I hope they work for you. Larry

It's about time !!!!! Congratulations.

Hello everyone, Li arrived at LAX safe and sound and is very happy. We are wondering which form(s) we should fill out first for this AOS journey. Larry

Li passed her interview Wednesday.... HOORAY !! The interview was only two minutes and she was well prepared. It seems the VO liked her very much. Thank you EVERYONE who helped with advice and were pulling for us. The whole process took 2 years and 11 days...........but who's counting. Sincerely, Larry and Li

Does my SO need for her divorce book to be notarized? She has a declaration of no remarry and it is notarized. Thank you for your help.

congratulations!!

Thank you all for the information. I have never heard of SAVE before. I thought getting her new name on all the documents would save time and trouble than changing it after receiving them the first time. Larry

I have only been to visit one time and I am afraid that might look bad.

Hello everyone, I can't make it for my Li's interview like I had planned on. I am not writing a letter as to why. Would it be better to get this letter notarized? Larry

This was the quickest part of the process for Li and myself. After 7.5 months for NOA2 and then one year at NVC, maybe they took pity on us. We could compare Cheetos receipts??? Good Luck

Her first name will stay the same, her middle name will be her current last name. Her new last name will be my last name. I thought this was traditional. Plus we both like the sound of the new name. p.s. thanks for the tips Carl.

Hello everyone, Li will be coming here at the end of April and I am not sure on what to do first. She will want a drivers permit and a Social Security Card and her name to be changed legally. Her China ID won't match her new name so I am wondering what official document will be "OK" to obtain these things quickly. Her credit cards are already in her new name but she won't have an ID to use them yet. We will live in California. thanks, Larry

Congrats Am4wag !! I am planning on being in GUZ for my SO interview too. Hunter, you could post a question for USCONGUZ about this if you want. I just figured that it couldn't hurt and might help in some way. Larry

Li and I are so so glad to hear your fantastic news!! I know it has been a rough road for the both of you. Congratulations!! Larry

Yes, a lot of information. Unfortunatly the "faire" is coming to GUZ at the end of April and tickets are scarce it seems. I will do my best. I like China Southern.

I took this courier flight once. You can only pick from departure dates Jupiter offers. Had to leave the Internatial area in Japan, clear customs, get escorted to baggage claim only to then learn there was nothing for me to courier. There's not much time between flights. And, yes, I spent the night on an airport terminal bench. No way I was paying HK Airport hotel rates. Worse, "they" will not give you the return 1/2 of the ticket until about 30 minutes before departure! Very nerve racking. Guess which seat they give you? 201899[/snapback] The wing? The throne??

I got a ticket from this agency for next month from LAX to Beijing (Round trip) for $750.00 (The lowest rate I could get, and believe me I looked around) 201860[/snapback] Thank you, I will give her a call.

Thank you all for the good information! Now I have some homework to do. Larry
