Otherwise, if you DID happen to list her as a daughter, you would have nothing to do at this point. Simply have your fiance fill out appropriate P3 and P4 documents for her and mail both sets together. No processing by USCIS or NVC is required K-2's are much more informal than K-1's

The hearing would be for revocation of your petition. Yes, you should (I would say MUST) attend, IF it occurs. They will NOT hold the hearing without notifying you be mail. No action you take outside of the hearing would affect the hearing, IF there is one, unless you or your lawyer could convince them to let you withdraw the petition. A Freedom of Information request might provide useful information. It is unlikely they will take any action. I would say, just carry on with your CR-1, and watch your mailbox for any notice concerning the K-1. Thanks, Randy have you ever heard where they do a revoke without a hearing or a chance to defend? I was thinking about the non revieability act that they could deny with no review or chance for me to appeal. Ain't gonna happen! You're under due process here, except that they only notify you by mail (no serving of warrants or summons or anything). This is a separate matter entirely from the visa denial - they do not review the consulate's decision - the information from the consulate is used in determining whether to revoke the original (your) petition. But yes, it can happen if you miss the notification somehow. That's why I say - watch your mailbox.

It says your petition was sent back to the states after a white slip, with a recommendation for revocation "We will notify you of any action we take on this case" - watch your mailbox. It says what I typed but verbatum however I believe you are correct. I was told by allot of people that they don't review them at the CSC they just let them expire. Do they normally send this notice out when they let them expire or do you think they will give me a chance to appeal my case? If they give me a chance to appeal its a lose lose situation because now they we are married if they do side with me she will not get her visa because it was a K1 and if they side against me she will be banned for life. So this is very bad news unless these letters are justa formality and they are going to let it expire. The K-1 was already denied - there is no way to have that overturned. A petition revocation hearing would give you a chance to get a peak in your folder. Having it re-affirmed wouldn't do anything for you, like you say. Again, the notice simply says that it has arrived in the states. You will be notified of any revocation hearing. My take on the revocation hearing is that if you show up (especially after marrying your fiance), look the judge in the eye, and tell him your relationship is bonafide, there is no way they can enter a finding of fraud.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure. The one and only time I ever saw our file after sending it was our AOS interview. From what little I could see of it, it was pretty thick and looked like it was all there. At my wife's visa interview The VO seemed to have no problem finding what she needed. Yes - it should all be there. Sometimes, the IO will fail to find things that he expects to NOT be there, e.g. the medical report. Be ready to remind him that it was submitted at GUZ.

To all outward appearances, interviews are chosen somewhat at random. Nothing odd at all. It is, however, less common to have an interview for the 10 year card. You shouldn't be surprised either way.

The quality seemed to be a cut above the typical shopping center parking lot carnival that you find here. It was too cold to go on any of the rides, so we did something else that day.

Not many people have interviews on April 22, 2009 , but other than that - was there a question? HI Randy, Just kind of odd, to have a interview when she hasn't received her first CLPR/CG? But then again its been 8 months since they received the AOS packet? Interviews are the leading cause of green cards - which will hopefully arrive soon afterward. Interviews for removal of conditions are less common The interview is waived in some cases, but is still a good reason to celebrate.

You may very well be in trouble - all the people who work for the post office are Chinese. Have her send you the address by e-mail, and then cut and paste (either electronically or literally) it to your label. Oh, and be sure to add in big western letters, the word "CHINA"

Typically (in our experience, anyway) the I-130 is approved in the US, and then sent to the consulate, where the applicant would be interviewed some months later before the visa is actually awarded. They would then be awarded a green card automatically when they entered the US. So I'm still guessing that your interview was concerning the I-130, but whatever happens next, you'll be notified in the mail. Don't give too much weight to the online status - they are rarely updated for AOS. Good luck, and Congratulations!

Ord to PEK is $897 on Travelocity with a 13 1/2 hour flight. Of course, the next flight to GUZ would put it over your total, but you might check your own sources on that route. ORD to HKG is $828. Get creative

Disney is always VERY innovative in that style of doing business. I expect the primary reason for the problems in HK are due to accessibility from the mainland as others have said.

This is an area that we don't have any experience with. My guess is that that interview was for the I-130, and not the I-485. Have you had your biometrics taken for the green card? But I would expect you'll get a notice in the mail when card production is actually ordered, and then it'll be a couple of weeks after that.

If you apply for the ( a )( 6 ) EAD, it's unlikely that they could get it to you before it expires. Don't waste your time or money.

Nothing is needed if it's not asked for. But why would you take a chance and not include everything they might ask for? You don't want to be taking shortcuts here.

Yes - GSM phones work in China, CDMA do not. That's assuming you have a SIM card that the Chinese carriers will recognize and your service is activated in China. To use a Chinese SIM card, your phone must be unlocked. If your American carrier offers a roaming plan that works in China, you won't need a Chinese SIM, butit will be expensive

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

sorry for the bad news, however i have confidence that you will prevail. good luck and wish you a speedy green card. perhaps you could share the details with us? cant really share the details yet, but IO suspects "fraud" nightmare IO ??!?

Unusual path to it, but as good as any! Congrats!

The rules aren't hard and fast there, especially when the I-130 and I-129F go to different consulates but, again, what I THINK I read was that they will not accept a K-3 I-129F application after the I-130 is approved (NOA2)

The rule I found was quoted above. Once the I-130 is approved by the USCIS, a visa number is "immediately available". If the IR-1/CR-1's are really going through that fast, then the K-3 would likely be combined with the IR-1/CR-1 anyway in GUZ. There's no reason to waste your money on a K-3 if you know in advance that the I-130 is going to be faster So I'll see if I can't find a reference to it.
