This isn't correct - sponsoring companies can renew the work visa and also apply for the green card, with or without a husband.

The green card is all that is needed

You can almost see what the VO is thinking there - good write-up. Congrats!

If her parents are Chinese, they may choose either China or US. I believe if her parents choose Chinese, then the girl could at the age of 18 choose American.

Jim, the match was played yesterday which was Sunday in China Perhaps we could instigate a 3 hour delay for all posts from the East coast ??!? B)

They were free to take their personal bible to China so they could personally practice their religion, taking 300 is far from practicing their religion and falls under the category of an invasion as history shows them. If you feel this is not just you should thank the early missionaries in China and the various western governments who cause this to be an issue. Of course whatever they "hear" here in the states is the law in China, right?

His previous post - http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=418371 - I don't think it's ever been discussed here about what happens to the beneficiary with one of these fraud cases - I'd say you definitely need a lawyer, but maybe one to help you with the USCIS here in the states. It may be out of GUZ's hands because of the finding in the states. The waiver mentioned in your other thread (for dcwfn) was for inadmissability due to a visa overstay.

They had "heard that there's freedom of religion in China, so why is there a problem for us to bring Bibles?" Of course!

Interesting comment. When I was in India, they were putting in a dam. They had women marching down a trail down the side of the soon-to-be lake. Each one had a pad on their head, and was carrying a large rock in the pad. When they got to where the rock would be placed, they would tip their head, and the rock would fall out. A man was there to place the rock in position. No bulldozer needed. B)

It's in the space where it says "Beneficiary" - look just to the right - A nn nnn nnn (sorry - 8 digits after the A)

Alien # A followed by 9 digits. Be sure and find it - it's on your NOA2 for the I-129F.

Same (I-485) address - sam envelope. The other option is to wait for your NOA1 to send in with your I-765.

Terminology here - the American citizen is the petitioner. The Chinese citizen is the applicant, and actually does file an application with GUZ for the visa as part of the P-3 (Application for immigrant visa and alien registration (DS-230 part I)).

The passport shows the place of birth and usually suffices for this information, unless a birth certificate is specifically required. This has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the parents. ??

Looks like 1 guy controlling both of them

I've heard a (wifey) rumor that cars more than 12 years old cannot be licensed. That is, once they hit the big one-two they have to be trashed. This would put a big dent in resale value, if true. Is it?

An American born abroad would go to the nearest embassy/consulate and get his/her American passport. I would assume that an American-born Chinese citizen could do the same thing. The American would get a "non-entry" certificate since his passport wouldn't show an entrance stamp. I'm sure the Chinese born in America could do the same thing, if needed. This has been discussed also.

No - anyone with an American passport - Chinese, American, or anywhere else - will need a visa. Some Chinese-Americans have (originally) Chinese passports, and do not need visas, unless they have become American citizens. A child born in the US to Chinese citizen parent(s) may get a Chinese (or American) passport. Anyone born in the US is an American citizen by birth and may get an American passport.

Very level-headed. Sometimes that's just the best approach.

I'm out of here - we're not communicating. pinyin software

Uh, Dave! Here's some actual OLYMPIC RESULTS for your OLYMPICS RESULTS thread. China 22 . . 8 . . 5 . . . = 35 USA . 10 . . 9 . .15 . . . = 34 as of today!

I am studying mandarin and pinyin is very helpful for me to relate what I am learning in Mandarin to what I know in English, I use a language software called fluenz which uses pinyin as one of the key learning tools, IMO it is much easier and efficent way of learning Mandarin than audio lessons alone, plus the pinyin helps with understanding the tone marks and pronunciation. Yeah, but when she makes fun of me for saying "ren", instead of "yen" (for people), that's when I hang it up! Time for her to learn English!

Well, make that everyone except David then. Seriously, I think pinyin could help standardize pronunciations across China, except that that there are regional variations in it and the way it's pronounce - "s" vs "sh" vs "x", and "y" vs "r", for example. One reason I'm not trying to learn Chinese is that my wife's accent is different from what's on the CD's. but if you learn the common language everyone can pretty much understand you. my wfie told me everyone is taught mandarin in grade school its just they have forgotten it due to the fact of not using it. But would a Cantonese speaker recognize "yi" as meaning "yat"? I think Mandarin is common enough that once you learn it, you're not going to forget it. Cantonese speakers are pretty lively when talking amongst themselves - I don't think it'll die anytime soon.
