Yeah I remember now - I think your's was settle without a court hearing - just through the mail?

No - they would get the 10 year card, if, at the time of the interview, you had been married 2 years or more. With the K3, it would be MUCH easier to stretch it to the 2 year anniversary. With the CR1, it's at the time of the visa interview. With the K3/K4, it's at the time of the AOS interview, which can be delayed for up to 2 years.

There IS NO appealing the consulate's decision. What HAS HAPPENED (Goerge&Li) is that they were white-slipped, it was returned to the USCIS and they got a court hearing. The case was won, and the USCIS re-affirmed the PETITION and returned it to GUZ. It is STILL up to the consulate to decide whether to issue a visa, or not. FOR THIS ONE CASE (very rare) they decided to issue the visa. But the appeal ONLY concerns the petition, not the visa.

Secret, ASIAN Man! Secret ASIAN Man! :roller:

Geez, Rog! I'm not so sure about these English rags with their own foreign correspondents.

It's true if they're from another state - the regulations do state they must be surrendered. She needs to be treated like a first time driver.

No - the Chinese driver's license won't do her any good - simply don't tell them about it. They are not understanding that the Chinese ID is a national ID card - she will still need it. It's not like our state ID's at all. I don't think there's ever a reason to surrender it - even if she becomes a citizen. Go somewhere else, or talk to a supervisor.

"My fart meralgia died " "meralgia" is a pain in the thigh, according to Stedman's Medical Dictionary "Meralgia Paresthetica By Brad McKechnie, DC, DACAN Meralgia paresthetica is a painful condition attributed to entrapment or injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve at the site where the nerve leaves the pelvis. The patient with meralgia paresthetica may complain of a dull ache, itching, numbness, tingling, or burning sensation over the lateral and anterolateral thigh" http://www.chiroweb.com/mpacms/dc/article.php?id=43404 Here's a website which discusses both farts and meralgia on the same page, but there doesn't seem to be a connection http://www.runeed.com/health/index_1872.html

Does she have any other American ID? But check up on the requirements to get one for your state. she has an american express credit card and will soon get a bank of america debit card with her pic on it. Those aren't ID's, but of course it's optional. The state ID might come in handy when she uses the credit cards - they sometimes ask for separate identification.

hemorrhoids?

You may need the I-94 - a duplicate can be ordered. The IO at the AOS interview will ask for it. I'm not sure about what happens if you don't have it. http://www.murthy.com/news/n_alkeep.html It seems like you need it for the SS card, also. But you've already been there !??

Gary - your petition has been "locked down" at the consulate. A lawyer there will do you no good. It will be returned to the states. If the USCIS decides to rescind the approval, you will be notified by mail and givens chance to appear in court to oppose the recision. Do not miss the court appearance. A finding of fraud would be a disaster for your chances of ever getting a visa. A ruling in your favor could mean the petition would be re-affirmed and sent back to GUZ for reconsideration.Or it may just die (this is the most likely)

All you need is the EAD, which comes in about 60 days. In the meantime, she's a stuck at home Momma. Jiaying was able to get a state of Texas ID the first month she was here (exp. 2011), and then use that to get her TDL, which arrived the same day as her EAD (not sure how we got the ID), but they apparently don't do that anymore.

File your tax returns, and make copies. There is no penalty for filing late, since you owe nothing! When they ask for something, you need to provide it no matter how silly it may seem. It's just a hoop to jump through.

Excellent price. Interesting purchase procedure Buyer beware.

It sounds to me like they know what they're doing, unlike some other countries we know of - foreign "hot money" in the form of US debt may not be all that good of a deal.

It's simply contraband that you are not supposed to board the plane with. I think they keep it for a while before they discard it. No penallties, other than that it is confiscated. Incidentally, on my last trip, I did the same thing, but it was never found through three security checkpoints, including at the consulate. My camera gear provides a good distraction.

I'd say go for it! Check the price with him, and then bring him what he wants. Upgrading is not an issue, as long as the phone works and the buyer is aware of what he's getting. they'll work fine in China. It looks like it's pretty easy to unlock them yourself, if you want to try that.

No - you need to break out their income separately (assuming she doesn't want to sign. The best way to do this is by including the W-2's.

http://i38.tinypic.com/2ql8j69.jpg The NASDAQ dropped more like 70%, but took more than 2 years to do it back in 2000 - 2003.

Large traders have a great deal of control over some stock prices. They can run the price up and back down as they see fit. The US market, I have no doubt, is manipulated in this way. I've seen stocks rise by as much as 25% going into a good news release - and then begin falling BEFORE the release. there is very little, if any, scrutiny at this level.

The Chinese mutual funds FXI and MCHFX are up 60% (down from a high of 160%) for the last 2 years, while the Hang Seng is up only 20%

Sounds wonderful !
