  1. Hi all,

     

    My wife and I are coming up on two years for her now in the US (this November) and I am unsure of what my next step is. Will the Government contact me? Do I need to contact them? Any info on what we should be doing next is well appreciated. And apologies if this has been asked before (I'm sure it has :/).

  2. Hey all ...

     

    is it too soon to start considering my mother in law coming to US for a visit? I dont know, I figure I could start now to get the visa process rolling ... not sure how long it will take. If its not too early what should be my first steps? I see elligible family is spouses and children. Does this mean that my mother in law does not qualify?

     

    TIA, Appaullo

  3. My wife is inquiring about getting her Driver's Liscence in the state of Michigan. I stopped on the way home today and they told me at the office my wife needs her Soc sec Num, her I-551, and a laundry list of materials issued here in the US ... none of which we can obtain, the last item on the list was a second item from list number 2, one of which is her passport with stamped I-94. My wife does not have the I-94. The woman then proceeded to tell me my wife would have to change her name, then have the Chinese Government change the name on our marriage certificate to my last name and have it forwarded here. Needless to say I find this all very doubtful. Once home I called the sec state and asked all this to an employee who put me through to a higher supervisor because this was, in his words : "Complicated." I relayed the above story again to the supervisor who told me to bring the soc sec number, passport/Visa/I-551 and a copy of the marriage cert with notary and english translation, plus bills in my name and the office would then make copies and send the info on to Homeland security who would then approve her being able to take the exam. I asked how long this would take and she told me "Who knows with Homeland Security." In any event I am relaying all of this in hopes there is another CR-1 in Michigan who can come to my aid here with some helpful information on any of this. The whole thing seems like its more hoops to jump through than necessary.

  4. My wife and I went to the local Community College this afternoon to query about enrolling her into ESL classes. The advisor who spoke with us told us he needs to see her original Diploma from her college back in China. Are all ESL classes like this? Or is this only because its a college?
