That sounds like a great and sensible option! Thank you very much!

You can easily revoke her green card, and switch to a 10 year tourist visa to travel to the U.S. whenever you want. Thank you very much! I believe we may opt to live in both countries part time.

Thank you very much! I had not thought of her green card situation.

When I retire, me and my wife are thinking of living in China, at least part time. She is a Chinese citizen with US permanent residence. Of course, I am a US Citizen. Can I obtain a family visa there and what are some requirements and length of stay? I have heard that US citizens can fairly easily reside in China for a year or longer. Thank you for your advice!

Thank you very much.

My step son, who is now a US citizen, has recently applied for his wife (who is in China) to come here to US. He filed I-130 form. Recently, I suppose it was approved and his wife has received an appointment for interview in Guangzhou. The two of them were married here in US while she was here on student visa. Her visa expired meaning she had to return to China, and has been there over a year. I believe she is applying for the F2A Visa. If all goes well with her interview, how much longer might this process take? I have heard that it is fairly immediate that she will be able to return here. Thank you very much.

If it is sensible to ask...what might be the best port of entry in the US, as far as hassles, language barriers, and strictness be? I've heard that being able to enter into smaller cities might be an advantage, as far as crowds and so forth...and not being asked so many questions...as opposed to a large city airport such as LAX or New York. Ant ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My friend doesn't speak much English and went through a big hassle in LA during his last visit...Thank You!

Thank you very much. You've helped me out many times in past. I assume by your answer that my step son leaves this part blank. Thanks again!

In this question, myself, being the step father...can I be put in as the US citizen father, though I'm not his biological father? I did not adopt my step son, only petitioned him. He is applying for citizenship and we are not sure of this question. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much!

Also, does he have to send in I-864 along with his I-130, or can he wait for this year's income tax return and send the I-864 after first of year? He just started working early this year and does not have a prior three years of tax returns. His income is most sufficient for the support, and he has some assets. I am thinking that the quicker he gets this done, the better. Thank you very much.

Thank all of you VERY MUCH.

My Step son is a permanent resident. He recently married his girlfriend here in the US. She is and has been here on a student visa. What are the initial and forthcoming steps he needs to take to petition his wife for permanent legal status? They are both here in Texas, both work and the wife still attends school part time. Both are Chinese. Thank you!

Thank you for all your help and info. My stepson has roughly a year to go to apply for citizenship. He has actually been here over the five years but went back to China for a little over a year to finish school. Therefore he lost a years time for the five year total. Though, I have heard he may be able to apply for citizenship a little before the actual five years completion. So we will research your advice, and once again, thank you sincerely. I will write to you upon any further questions...

My stepson has just been married to a Chinese girl who is on a student visa. He is also Chinese with permanent residency. They were married here in US. What is the next step that the girl needs to take in order to stay in US? Does she need to get another type of visa or does she perhaps need to be petitioned? Thank you for any help...
