My fiancee says you can call 0114 and ask for tickets, they will give you many numbers to call and compare prices. There is a great disperatity (sic) in prices. She has some other numbers for booking from Shenzhen I will post later.

I wrote to the AAJA for help and while they could not help directly they did give me the following list. The Asian American Journalists Association's (AAJA) three-fold mission is to encourage Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) to enter the ranks of journalism; to work for fair and accurate news coverage of AAPIs and our communities; and, to increase the number of Asian Pacific American journalists and news managers in the industry. Since this concern is not about news coverage, it does not fall within the scope our mission. However, your concern was properly forwarded to non-profit AAPI national organizations that do address issues like these. Below is a resource list that may be helpful. Please contact these organizations directly.

After several letters and voice mails I finally heard from Senator Diane Feinstein, California, case worker (Masha). She told me she could do nothing. She can not help with the security clearance. I am in this situation because I have already passed the security clearance in July, I informed her, now it is a duplicate problem. I suggested she put pressure on Guangzhou. No, she said and seemed to think our conversation was over. It is not over until my fiancee is on US soil!!! Randall and Fang Sacramento and Shenzhen

I will be sending them a letter today as well. I had no luck with Senator Feinstein, CA.

Nice letter Tex, but my fiancee interviewed October 30 and we are still waiting! Don't leave us out in the cold.
