I realize the OP has probably already made a decision, but for reference starting a business in China will be much harder to do legally if neither of you is a Chinese citizen. Especially in education. China isn't exactly open to foreign-owned schools.

I don't understand what China would be pushing the US to do. It's article 9 of the Nationality Law of the PRC that states Chinese who obtain foreign nationality lose Chinese nationality. It has nothing to do with US law or Obama.

And you're speaking from experience? Not mine, but an English-teaching friend's.

Consular assistance is way overrated. In the movies it's depicted as a get of of jail free card, but in reality all it means is that if you get into trouble you might get a 5 minute meeting with some flunky from the embassy where he wishes you good luck.

Maybe, maybe not. The Constitution doesn't define "natural born Citizen" and there has never been a definitive court ruling on what it means.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be case according to the Nationality Law of the PRC. http://www.gov.hk/en/residents/immigration/chinese/law.htm http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/faq_roaihksar.htm Therefore the child would not have Chinese nationality if born outside China, since my wife has US permanent resident status.

I have a US passport and my wife has a PRC passport and US green card. We're researching the best place for our child to be born from a passport perspective. We're looking at four options. We'd be interested in hearing feedback on whether our analysis of the child's passport situation in each case is correct. Option 1: Born in the US. Child would only be able to hold a US passport. Option 2: Born in Canada. Child would be able to hold both US and Canada passports. Option 3: Born in mainland China. Child would have to choose between US or PRC passport. Option 4: Born in Hong Kong. Child would be able to hold both US and HKSAR passports.

Because the majority of the $$$ going to "Homeland Security" is pure pork barrel spending. Why improve government services when you can pay back campaign contributors?

Just as a data point Qian is working with an EAD receipt and no EAD. Her employer is a Fortune 100 company with 200,000+ employees, so there's nothing under the table about it.

- Apply for SSN ASAP after entry - Get married ASAP after entry - Apply for AOS ASAP after marriage - Apply for EAD ASAP after (or at the same time as) AOS Once you have the SSN and EAD receipt, you can work. You don't need the actual EAD: see the instructions for form I-9.

According to the NBC FAQ the I-693 is required at the time of filing the I-485, and the NBC will issue an RFE if it's not. In our case we didn't submit the I-693 at filing (due to squabbling with the doctor over insurance coverage) and haven't received an RFE yet, even though the case has been tranferred to CSC.

Did you have to pay the $170 fee again?

What are the admission class and length of stay on the I-94 after entering with AP?

This FAQ on the NBC sheds some light on what the NBC does and how it fits in to the bigger scheme of things. http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/nbc/faq.htm

Shouldn't that be 3 years?
