I think Lulu's responses/answers are impeccable.

I am very happy for you! Congratulations. :cheering:

I am very happy for you, Mama Bear!

He is good at making a romantic scene a technical analysis.

Since it is a trip for marriage, we expect to read some romance. You think you can get away with your drinking stories?

It seems this Xiao Hu friend of yours is a very bright bed lamp.

I thought you would be too drunk to tell your China stories by now.

When we applied for my parents, we didn't need to supply our income information. My parents supplied evidence to show their financial ties to China.

We invited my aunt to visit us, a few month after my uncle (her husband) passed away. Her only daughter and granddaughter live in China. She brought some documents to show her financial ties to China (but I think she didn't need to show them to the visa officer). So far we have invited my parents, together and separately, my 16 year old niece and my over 80 year old aunt to visit us. They all got the B-2 visa. I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that all our invited visitors returned within planned time frame. I wonder if US visa department has any database to help them make decisions based on track records. Hope your aunt's visa application goes smoothly.

Congratulations, David and lulu!!

Come to witness a name change. I wonder if David is going to take Lulu's family name.

:lol:I love this piece of news!!

Why do you want to quit being an automotive car designer? It seems to have already satisfied your income requirement. Is it because you are tired of that profession?

As a Chinese, my everyday life has been influenced/guided by these philosophies. It is nice to know the underlying systems. I am learning from your posts. However, don't hide your activities in China behind all these theories.

Do you think you are addicted to China or addicted to some girls in China?

I think if you are in financial destress, this could be a red flag. If the VO can see that you are doing fine yourself, it should not matter.

Yes. That's also what I wanted to say.

I think you right... Those things are not in our daily sexsual practice... To be honest... as a city girl... this is the first time I've heard someone put them with sex. Same here.

I hope the schools from China pay more attention to how to regulate the student flow in the staircases. Should avoid situations that everyone has to be at the same place at the same time.

It it time to celebrate our moon festival again. I pull out the recipe recorded on CANDLE and will make some moon cakes again for tonight's celebration. http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?...mp;hl=moon+cake Happy Holiday, everyone!

I applied a visa for my daughter through Pasiasia.com. It was a two year multiple entry. If I don't remember wrong, it only cost about 20 dollors more than the 1 year visa. The visa was granted end of May or beginning of June this year. The application form didn't have 2-year option. We just wrote it in. And it worked.

What he said...

This summer I needed to transfer some funds to China to cover my travel expenses. I decided to try Bank of China. I have a Bank of China account (±¾Íâ±ÒÒ»¿¨Í¨) which I opened a few years ago in China. Before departing US, I visited a Bank of China New York branch, wrote a check to cover the transferred funds and the $20 fee. The process is quite simple and fast. You need to bring a valid ID, your social security card (for the first time) and a credit card (which is suggested but not used). You also need to know in which branch (address is requested but not required) the destination account is opened, the account number, the account owner's name, address and phone number etc. I was told that if I only need to transfer $3000 or less, I could bring in cash and they would wire over right away. For anything over $3000, can't use cash, you would have to wait longer. For example, I went to the NY branch on the 17th of June, I had to wait till the beginning of July to get the money in China (I was told that they would wire on the 30th of June). Though it took some time to have the money over, I found this process being easy and inexpensive. There were no additional cost when I withdrew from china side. I think I will use Bank of China again next time I need to transfer money. If you want to try it, I suggest that you call your local branch before go there in person.
