Congratulations & Best Wishes

If you got it (physically), then you would get it (mentally)... For those of us who got it physically (a loving SO), we will never get it mentally (a fraudulent SO). Did you get that? Got it David.

That is incrediable. $60,000. I just dont get it.

What is the best way to ship clothing and other personal items from China. This is probably an issue, far in the future for me, but I do wonder about this. Thanks, Gene

Everything that is posted here is so very helpful. I do appreciate the different view points. I talk to Ling most of the time twice a day. With the 13 hours difference in times it works out well. I talk to her free using Skype on the computer. That is computer to computer and Yahoo messenger for the video stream. When I call her cell it is .02 a minute using Skype. Skype is a free download with a better audio than the phone service. http://www.skype.com/download Does anyone have a better way staying in contact?

This is a good site. The information provided speaks in a language closer to what I can understand. Although the whole immigration process is a language and land all of its own. People are friendly herel and this makes the process of immigration more palatable. I have not put together the proof of income or the proof of Ling and me knowing each other. I have recently filed the I-130 and I-129f. So I am interested in learning about both of these issues now. I would like to speak briefly about the I-130 and I-129f. When putting these packets together I thought about the people who were going to process the information. They are probably nice people simply doing a job who don’t get paid a lot and yet have a major control of life. So I wanted to get along with them. I made the packets as concise as I could. I made sure the information provided was exact and easy to read. I’m a very visual person and need to see layouts of packets not just explanations in words. There are visual aids available on the internet. Something that has stuck in my mind for almost a year is this. All of you guys have something like this in your head and heart. The first time I was in Zhuhai we were having dinner with a group of Ling’s friends. You know the round table Chinese style. As we were eating and everyone was talking (I understood very little of what was being said) Ling kept gently putting food on my plate. Being an independent American male my thoughts were, “If I want food I will get it thank you very much.” I did not say anything while this was happening of course. After the dinner I spoke with one of Ling’s friends about this. She explained it was one way a Chinese woman would serve a Chinese man. I suddenly realized how gracious this gesture was. I also realized how little I understood Chinese customs. I will try and put together a timeline at this point since it is the acceptable practice. March 2004 met Ling. August 2004 went to Zhuhai 10 days December 2004 married in Zhuhai 14 days Jan. – March 05 gathered information. April 05 Zhuhai – Beijing 14 days May 05 filed I-130 June 05 filed I-129f

I'm new to this site. Is there anyone reading information on this site that has a loved one in Zhuhai? Best regards, Gene Miller
