  1. These are Chinese people talking about freedom basically to establish a second party Why assume anything?
  2. I understand your point Randy, but his over-stay was inconjunction with the pending AOS Application filed before he turned 21, so the over-stay is moot argument form the USCIS standpoint. Just trying to forewarn you of what you'll hear. Remember that he is entitled to stay and fight it out in court.
  3. By the way, the USCIS will claim that he is overstayed by either the expiration date on the I-94, or his 21st birthday, whichever is later. This does not seem to be an issue anywhere, so don't worry about it. He is entitled to stay and fight it out in the courts. If he does decide to return to China after removal proceedings have started, there is a form G-146 he will get to take to the consulate for them to verify that he's back!
  4. Yes, the 'protection' is that you may file the I-130 for your 'son', if he was under the age of 18 at the time you were married. Your possibilities are to sue THEM (for not doing their job of approving his AOS), or to wait (about 2 to 4 weeks) for the removal proceedings to begin. To sue them can work (their arguments are very weak), but you would need to talk to a lawyer NOW, before the removal is initiated. For the removal proceedings, you would go to immigration court. The best thing to do there is to find a lawyer who knows your immigration court and the judges, and is sympathetic to your cause. Either way, most lawyers (and judges) will roll over and play dead and simply parrot the USCIS view, so it's best to do some shopping (for lawyers) before you begin. Only your lawyer can advise you from here. Keep us posted, and good luck!
  5. A reversal being from the VO's supervisor? I think I know the answer but does the USC have the right to a meeting with the supervisor Theoretically, yes. But try explaining that to anyone at GUZ.
  6. This is all that's specified in the INA - it's a pretty round-about interpretation of the wording to interpret it as saying that the word "child" means that he must still be a child at the time of the interview. But that's their interpretation of it for now. Good luck in your battle - there's no doubt in my mind that you'll win if you can fight it out through whatever court(s) are necessary. Sorry to hear this. It's a shame that the other cases haven't had an effect on their policy, but they just really didn'y hit the heart of the child at the time of the interview issue.
  7. From Roger's link (this is the only reference that I know of) I still say they can punch their own damn holes.
  8. I'm satisfied. http://www.chinafamilyvisa.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/music.gif http://www.chinafamilyvisa.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/yahoo.gif http://www.chinafamilyvisa.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/dj.gif http://www.chinafamilyvisa.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/bathfun.gif http://www.chinafamilyvisa.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wine.gif
  9. No - my personal preference is to let them handle their own filing system - they can punch their own damn holes. Others agree with the ACCO fasteners, but I figure you can submit a nice, clean stack of pages, separated by file folders or tabs, that they can readily adapt to their own format. But like I said about the I-693, it will be removed from the envelope (which you can't do) before filing. There's a document box or large (8 1/2x11 or larger) envelope which will let everything lay flat. Just add the medical envelope to the stack. In this scheme, attaching anything to anything else is unnecessary. Again, just my own preference. Go with what you're comfortable with.
  10. I would recommend NOT punching holes in the medical packet, unless you can locate exactly where the holes should go. They will take those forms out of the envelope and add them to your file along with all others. I recommend NOT punching holes in any of the pages, but, hey, that's a different story.
  11. Go ahead and file. You will probably be okay. You may get some questions about it at the interview. There is no filing deadline for the I-485.
  12. There are more than a few people at work who got their undergraduate degrees in China, and then transferred to American universities for their graduate program. Look for schools that actively recruit foreign students with F-1 visas Yes I know she doesn't need a student visa, but that will help you find a school which will be willing to look at her Chinese transcript.
  13. That's right - the EAD is the first official US government-issued ID that most of our Chinese imports will get before the green card, and important if only for that Imports! How about Immigrants. They're all imports - some don't make it to the immigrant (green card) stage. I shouldn't give the Customs folks any (taxing) ideas.
  14. You cannot appeal a visa denial. If you want a chance to get a reversal, you would have to go to GUZ NOW, before they have a chance to put your case in lockdown. It has been done, but your chances are slim to none. If it is sent back to the US, you may receive a notice of intent to revoke. The most you can hope for here is that they may re-affirm the petition and send it back to GUZ for a second chance at a visa.

  16. No, of course not (any applicable child labor laws would still apply). But that's exactly why they would want to apply.
  17. If you have an interview, it gets sent to a local field office, where the interview will be held
  18. Samsong it does not ask for mailing address. it just asks for address so I am assuming her home address. Is it OK to list the work address in place of home address They need a mailing address in order to mail the P3 and P4 packages to her. She will need the interview letter to get into the consulate.
  19. Yes - if she doesn't get the mailings from the consulate, you will need to keep in close touch with the DOS phone line. It's best to use her correct mailing address - that's what they need it for.
  20. I figured someone would have responded by now - I had lost sight of it. We're not a very cohesive bunch, but we have gotten together a few times. That was actually Jim (SinoTexas) who put together the La Grange thing. That was a favorite place of his. I'm the original "gave a party and no one came" guy. You're a little bit far out of the way, but Houston has a big Chinatown that you may find worth your while to come to.
  21. You are one of the few people who has gotten their money's worth on that line.
  22. Before you pay for number 2, check out http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/contactiv.html
  23. Yes - 1's and 0's are a universal language - Only the displayed text changes, and that comes from the operating system (if your installing a Chinese OS), or whatever webpage or software she uses.
  24. Faxes and/or email through their website are the only ways to communicate. They are responsive, but are you sure you would want to postpone her interview at this stage?
