  1. Help: Chinese translation

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    P.J.

    as i understand "µÇ¼Ç×¢²á" means you and candy marry in China. that is what me and my husband did in Hangzhou. We went to this office and µÇ¼Ç×¢²á us as a couple. But if you would do that then you will be unable to apply for a K-1 visa but only K-3 or CR-1 like ours.

     

    I am sorry that I dont know much about K visa but only CR-1. If you guys marry in China then i can explain all these process to Candy.

     

    Good Luck

     

    p.s. If you apply CR-1 visa in China then it will save you a lot time. We applied CR-1 in June and we receive the first packet in July. and the second packet in Augest. So it is really faster than you apply in the U.S.

    Hello gentlemen

     

    Yeah, everybody know about the rape of nanking.

     

    But, that is old history, as with the holocaust

     

    If you still resent it after all these years, then boycott japanese products. Can you afford not to enjoy the best and coolest gadgets coming off Japan?

     

    my two cents

    hello another_old_fart,

    There are a lot Chinese out there in China boycott Japanese products which is made in Japan. maybe it is silly to you but I do understand the reason why they are doing this and i don't buy things which is made in Japan also.

    I am really moved how all people here reply my post and I really want to say thank you of all of you who understand us and how we feel about this history.

    Also I am so proud of these chinese relations of you who taught you this history of China.

    Hello everyone,

    I am sorry for using this place to put this post which is nothing about immigration visa. But i believe P.J. our webmaster will understand me and support me here.

     

    If you are a chinese. I am sure you know what does 9.18 means and what happened on 9.18,1931 in China.. As a chinese i won't forget what does Japanese did to our homeland China in that horrible War.and it is unforgiveable that until now they still can't accept what they did to Chines and other asian coutries and say sorry to them.

    If you can read Chinese and love China. I wish you could go to this website which is built by some chinese who deeply love our homeland and fight for our reasonable right from Japanese govenment.

  7. HUGE favor to ask of anyone coming to China soon

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    I can also recall using the J&J stuff in the green bottle while I lived in China. I agree, it works great. Also used those little incense devices Dan described. They help keep the little vampires off ya.

    Is it safe to use? If it is, we should import some to USA (with the West Nile virus now).

    I only think J&J is 100% safe since it is made for the Baby. what a pity I can;t find the same stuff here in the US. It seems J&J is making more stuffs in China than it does in their own coutry.

     

    Incense works ok but i dont think people will like its smell.Also i have heard "RAID" is not 100% safe for your body too. But i did use RAID every night while i was in China. i like their smell and it helped me fall asleep sooner ;)

  8. HUGE favor to ask of anyone coming to China soon

    Hi All,

     

    Well I'm here in China and doing very well.  No time to give more of an update now. 

     

    I have a *HUGE* favor to ask of anyone (Don if you see this please let me know) who will be traveling to Southern China like Guangzhou anytime soon. 

     

    I'm getting torn apart by mosquitos.  Forgot to bring my Skin So Soft by Avon.  It's this thing that works wonders for keeping away those buggers.  If anyone is going to be in the area please let me know if you might be willing to pick up a bottle and I will pay you back.

     

    Sincerely,

     

    P.J.

    You can buy Johnson & Johnson company's product in any big Market. It works very well and just for keeping away any bugs or mosquitos. Also taking some Vitamin B will help you too. Remember it is a green bottle if you look for in the market in Johnson's area.

     

    Also there is another one which is so common in China. Called Hua Lu Shui. I am sure your girl must knows it. just make sure to get one made by a famous compnay.

     

     

    Enjoy your Life there P.J.

  10. Gift-giving

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I need gift advice for people in China.  In the past, I have read a number of threads on various sites, and gathered the following from those threads.  I know it's difficult, since most of the stuff we buy here has a "made in China" label.  These are some of the ideas I've compiled.

     

    American Chocolates, candy, gum

    Lotions, cosmetics, skin care products

    Cassette tape recordings of local radio stations (I thought this was clever)

    Red envelopes (for giving US money)

     

    Few questions. 

     

    1.  With the casette tape recording idea, I thought this was cool, but would this be a problem to bring into China?  I'm just taping innocuous stuff like morning DJ talk shows and popular mainstream music.  However, I have concerns about being a Westerner and bringing in media, does anyone foresee any problems?

     

    2.  What kind of chocolates go over well? 

     

    3.  Any other suggestions?

     

    Thanks,

     

    P.J.

    PJ,

    if your sweetie likes chocolate then get Godiva. :P now you can already find a lot foreign companies' chocolate in China but still Godiva is the one that you can;t ever find. Bring a nice box of Godiva. I am sure she will like it. :lol: http://www.godiva.com/store/default.asp here is their website. :D

  13. Chinese Health book

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    This is the health certificate book which Shanghai entry-exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau asks me to get it before i leave China. I have heard some people from 001 didn't get them and left China. I wonder if i could save a trip to Shanghai also before i leave.

     

    Again i wanna say thank you to all members here on candle!

    you found someone who is helpful and you are keeping the name secret from others who may need help?  Yeah, thats the spirit.  Good show!

    sanfranman8

    i think you misunderstood what we meant. People in GZ consulate can't do anything about your case if it has been holded by FBI. We could only be told if they recieve our case clearance or not.

     

    That is why we kept writing emails to DOS and CA because they are the ones who might be able to put press on FBI. I think most of people here will agree with us.

    Let's not forget the rest of us who are still waiting though.  I truly believe that our combined efforts have resulted in clearances for many of us in the recent weeks.  Let's continue to work together and leave no one behind.

     

    You are right let us fight until all of us are out of this black hole!!

    We really understand how everyone is suffering here and we will try our best to help

    :)

    Yeah We wanna say thank you to PJ, Wolf, Argyle,rfsun, christy,R2D2, Mick, donahso... just too many people have helped us and We really wanna say thank you to all of you.

    I really believe that this is time to all of our on holded people. Please never give up hope. God bless you all

  18. Focus on Black-hole case

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    My husband hurt his back today and he could only lay in bed the whole day. He is needing me more than anyone else but i can only sit here. I just can;t even take care of my husband it really frustrates me so much.

     

    Anyway I have received 4 people's email and they are going to sending letters for us. I wanna say thank you again here. You have been showing us that we are not fighting alone.

    Also thank you PJ for having this great idea. I really wish all our efforts could move these officers and then we can get people one by one out of this black hole.

     

    May God send all of us back to our loved one soon...

  22. Letter writing campaign

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    Hi Mick,

     

    Yes there are still some of us who are part of that infamous Black Hole.  That's why I started this thread.  We have to do something about it!  Not just for those of us who've waited so long, but for every one of us.  

     

    No one should have to wait a year for a K visa, but how many here have waited longer than that?  It's my goal to see that this system works the way it's supposed to, for everyone.  

     

    I don't want to see another single person have to go through the pain and heartache that so many of us have had to bear!

     

    The only way that we can accomplish this is to have an orchestrated, concentrated letter writing campaign to a single media outlet.  I have chosen the Los Angeles Times.  If every member of this web group would write one email each day for one week to the L.A. Times, our story would be national news.

     

    I intend to write every day, will you join me?

    Arglye

    We will join you !! Shall we send our seperated story by oursleves or send a same letter which all our signs? please let us know what shall we do here

     

    :( We don't want to through another Summer !
