You have trouble reading?? I will not take that.. I noticed you could even make fun of us in Chinese using babelfish.. Yes, most of the recent P4's were delivered by EMS but there are some exceptions (some did get it via snail post). While calling GZ the receptionists always confirm that nowadays they are sending P4 by EMS. Some gals under the new NVC system reported they even received P3 via EMS. Isn't that amazing?? BOB, the only problem with the solution of downloading 156,157, etc. is that the A4 paper size in China is slightly different than that in the states. If your MM can get some "American Paper" to print the forms on it will be all right. Even in the the worse scenerio: there are still those guys doing business outside the consulate who sell the forms at 20 -30 RMB each. Ask your MM to be careful to get the right forms though: From April 1, 2003, the photo requirement for NI visa applicants has been adjusted and this results in the change of form DK-156. Should she have any problem, she can always seek help in Chinese on 001. Good luck! La_Diva

Congratulations to you both, Myles & Anna! Celebrations were held for Anna already last night at 001 chat room with 30 gals tuned!! She has been one of the most popular gals and has successfully "recruited" a few FANS there (like most movie starts do..hehe) ..Really, it has been so fantastic to have her on 001. (I bet you will feel the same way too, lucky man! ) Wish you two a happy life in Hawii. We just got my Name check cleared in the past few days. Hopefully GZ will work out an interview date shortly. Thank you for your blessings.. La_Diva

Yes, K-3/4 non-immigrants may elect to apply for an immigrant visa instead of adjustment of status and may wait in the United States until they must appear at the consulate for their visa interview.

oops..pressed the wrong button..P.J., can you move the above message to the thread you started about 001 navigation? thanks!

That's really complicated, isn't it? Just tried to add some English wordings and wish it could save some of you guys efforts..It looks a bit weird and will work a bit more tomorrow..Just wish i could have even a bit knowledge about the programming stuff

Eventualy, wow!!! Congrats, dear Sister (just adopt the way we address each other on 001)!!!!!!!!

I think WXH is under K3 or cr1 visa instead of K1. If it's K3, i don't think it's a problem as the forms requested must have been mailed over in P3. Just a thought!

why for Chinese women? why? for me or for anyone else? how many should be put there!!! I think what he meant was SHE WILL BE THE ONLY ONE ON THE LIST, otherwise we will be with you full-heatedly. PJ, she will pay for what she did to you and you deserve a better girl in your life..

Eric, my BROTHER? What's Jim been up to? I have no idea what you are talking about, really... I saw R2D2 ( I'll have to assume it's Jim coming back undercover ) post...about an "arrogant" son stuff, although joking I gathered I have no clue. oops, my mistake... I bet Jim will blame me for pushing him deeper into the turbid water... Sorry, sorry, BROTHERS..

Frank! Our I-129F was approved on Nov.16 (NSC) and my P3 letter was dated Jan. 6. As per the up-to-date reports on 001, gals with P2 dated Dec. 1-Dec. 15 (roughly) are receiving P3 these days..

Thanks, Vivi. I saw that a little bit ago and was going to mention it. Glad you are keeping us up to date! Sure..Frankly i thought of Jim's Son (your Brother?) - Eric, immidiately after reading the post on 001... :P Don, any update with Funfun's P4? I think hers will be the next....

On 001, a CR1 gal reported to have received EMS this morning too..Interview date: Aug. 1

PJ! I am shocked reading this. Don't know what to say really... As per your request, i will paste the chinese emails to 001, if nobody has done so.. Thanks for allowing us to share this with you..I am sure nobody will be taken advantage later by the same person.. Best regards, La_Diva

Owen is right. The Notarized Police Certifcate is issued in a standard format stating that she has not committed any crime up to date while she is living in China. Whether she has committed crime or not is recorded in her Personal Record (in Chinese Ge Ren Dang An) so she can just get a written proof from her working unit (if her personal record is filed with it) or from the Human Resources Exchange Center (in Chinese Ren Cai Jiao Liu zhong xin) and with this proof she can get her Police Certificate done. This might be the easiest path compare to that of going to different Police Offices to get the paperwork.. There is clear discription in Chinese on 001 if there is any question about this. Just post a question if you can not find it (owing to the claimed complicated layout of that forum.) I am one of the forum managers there but unfornately i can not change the layout of the forum, although i personally do not think it's an ideal one.

Jennifer got to be defensive here?? hehe..I think some gentlemen here use translation software to read 001 board messages and it might have lost somewhere with the meaning sometimes..Misunderstanding at some point is understandable.... Furthermore, is that true women speak different "language" than men at times???

Give my 2 cents here since I am a bilingual (not certified by any professional org, ) and surf both boards daily too. I started reading 001 for updates on visa pickups since they are 13 hours ahead of EST here. Although I never post there, I can see they feel the same frustration and worries like CDL here. They regard CDL highly. Nothing they say is really detrimental to any relationship or bad-mouthing any GGs. You may consider it a mere girl-to-girl talk forum. The board serves as an emotional outlet as well as a information center of visa application process. Unless you are totally fluent in Chinese, you can't really get the sense and feel of what they really meant in their messages. So reading it or not is totally up to you, but don't try to figure out what they meant I will be more than willing to help if you want to interpret certain messages on 001. If your sweetie does not read English like you do, 001 is a still a better place to kill time rather than sitting there waiting for "heavenly visa" to fall on her!!! Thanks, Charlotte! Can not agree with you more.

Not a big deal at all. File i-131 at the time you file AOS(I-485) and it will take 15 days at Hartford INS to get the AP granted, although they do suggest that you file this 30 days before your travel date. Wish this helps.

In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, etc. it's not required to present a letter of invitation any more but in some smaller cities, the local red tapes might still be there.. The easiest way is to ask your Fiancee to check with the local authority.. As for the "Permission" Owen mentioned..I think he referred to the so-called departure card which was a blue or yellow slip attached to each newly-issued passport. However, from Feb. 2002 on this practice has been abandoned.

Gentlemen! I posted some info. there for help under Jim's request, hoping that someone on 001 board might know his wife (i think it's wife, not fiancee, from what i read on ACC) personally, but i did not know it turned out to be.....Sorry for that! If i am right, there was only ONE specific gal who has kept criticizing the "business marriage" in Nanning jumped out..I did not delelte her posts as she was not targetting at any specific person..(although i did criticized her comment made in this scenerio.. ) Obviously Kane's wife is not a memeber on 001 and nobody there knows her..I will delete the the post i started and the messages following it will be deleted automatically. My sincere consolence to Kane and his wife and, if anyone contact me with information about his wife, i will forward it to ACC and here..

Thanks, Mick! Owen! Sure, i will forward the bullets from the girls to you if any.. Just kidding.. Thanks for what you have done for all of us...

Owen, thanks for posting the letter on 001 as well. I added some briefings in Chinese suggesting the girls not to call in the next 1-2 weeks..Let's see how they will fight back..

Congrats, lucky man! Your MM was sitting next to me at our 001 BJ party last month..She is such a sweet girl!

Looked at the posts carefully again. There was only one gal reported that she called GZ today and was informed that EMS for her would be on the way TOMORROW. No others reports on this even i tried to read line by line..

Congrats to Kate, Sandy and Blueskies..(hmmm..sounds weird..maybe i should add Sandy's Rob too although he has not registered here yet..) James! Your DAD eventually showed up... What a family!!

Big Congrats to Bob and Lili! Brian, this is a special saturday...If i remember right, today is one of the two dates (Dec.21 /Jan.4) gals left their passports at the consulate after interview would go to pick up their visas..Those gals who obtained the flexible dates calling letter will still have to go Mon.-Thur. You are right with the 001 post regarding a girl's reporting her p4 on the way..She also said GZ told her her interview is scheduled for Jan. 2 (or 4..Forgive my hangover this morning..)
