alike. Solid Oak mount base with rawhide top trim laces. Fill it
with candy, coins or beef jerky!

Thanks iDave
but while reading the title.
I kinda thought this was goin in different....
you know like a BULL that has no berries?
-
ah i see... that's quite strange, no? the date on my 2 yr GC was the day of the interview. But I think it's better to be able to remove conditions earlier. =)
Thats strange cuz our 2 year GC was from the date we enter
the States "POE".
Yeap I just check it again, from the date that we enter SF aka
"POE" ... but maybe CR1 is a tad different?

I file my lovely wifes papers for her 10 GC back in mid Dec
Yesterday "1/21/09" we went in for her interview as they called it,
but there was no interview only finger prints and photos was take.
In was very painless, less than 15 minutes in and out.
Emma was so worried cuz she didn't have her passport as it was
sent off to be renewed....
The only things that was ask for was......
the paper showing we had an apointment, Texas DL and her 2
year GC.
Really I was suprised on how these folks handle things and to tell
the truth they was even nice and showed a smile to everyone
Was told from 2-4 months before the 10 year green card would
appear in our mail box.......
guess we will see if thats true or not...
-
My wife even had a pass divorce. RED FLAG?? Maybe!
But ether way our papers flew through the system with no problems.
Dang Nuworld that has got to be a record
and no sir I ain't pickin on you... so don't go there... please?
as long as the both of you are happy thats all that matters
I hope y'all live together and or happy for the next 100 years

I hate to bring this up and don't want to put salt in anyones
wound but,
I'm not trying to start a pi$$in contest but, some folks got pink
and had only known there other half a few weeks.
As for me I was in no hurry to tie the knot and made plenty of trips
across the pond.... in saying that I know many folks can't get the
time off from work and for others I'm sure there are or other reasons.
Both:1. A very brief courtship followed by a plunge into matrimony;
2. A marriage ceremony arranged only a short time after petitioner arrives in the beneficiary¡¯s country and they meet for the first time;

Sleepless, hei - sorry, I wasn't complete... grrrr.
Darnell..... seems we both forgot something
don't forget to try out all the rooms... in your home,
condo, apartment, etc..... etc......
You get the next 21 months without much paper work
and most important have fun!!

Green card arrives automatically.
SS card may or may not arrive automatically, but usually ppl go to a SSA office 2 to 3 weeks after arrival, and apply in person.
NO AOS , once you have GC yer done for about 2 years - then you apply for 'removal of conditions'.
He'll be eligible for citizen after 3 years of green card date, can apply after that time tick. It's not automatic though, have to apply for it.
Darnell, it seems you forgot something
"State ID Card" should be done after SS is in hand, then banking
stuff, etc, then get "State DL", that is unless you don't want her/him
to drive
but thats JMO

some where back bout three pages ago
this thread took a hard left turn and went
down the wrong road.....

men or men and goats or just stinkin goats

the truth

Well Mr Roggie aka ur hinneynass....
bills are a lot easier to carry
1,000,000.00 yuan but better yet if-in it was in US dollars.....
I mean you work for the US Gummit... I trust that you can
take care of this tiny problem....
Dam did I just say I trust lit ol Roggie?
Its not like its a bail out or even a loan, after all I could sell-em
"my new hammer and throw in a new book that old St. Nick left me"
you know just to sweeten the pot
I'm thinkin this falls in the line with appreciating....
-
Well gezz thanks Roggie but.....
I want be needin your 1000 yuan
In fact I won 4.6 milion today, but I order to collect my
4.6 million "Which is in the form of a Cashiers Check"
I have to go to Western Union and send this firm 500usd
on second thought get my 10,000 yuan ready Roggie
maybe its worth a travel to the frozen tundra for 100,000 yuan
-
Darn Roggie you gonna marry this lit lady two times?
My guess is once ain't enough for you? You folks in
ChezWizConSin sure do strange thingies.. guess its all
that cold air you folks breathe in?
Can't blame I would marry my wife again....
so long we'er both the same side of that big pond
life with that big pond tween you.... well it really sucks
-
URROYALHINEYNESS...
I knew it!!! I knew it all alone that u was nothing more than a
URROYALHINEYNESS.....
for a few years thats what I have called you
but as I recall the way I put it Roggie.... it was no so "PC"
OK I ain't so smart in math but ..
now I see the light and the truth and the "PC way"
and cents we have a change coming in our future....
one would think apprecating is the only way to go
so did I win???
-
I just love this time of the year...
spreading love around durning the holidays makes everyone
feel loved....
love you Roggie...
not really but it sounded good.... huh?

Bobby,
1 to 2 hours? The office must have been busy.
Fully agree with KTM and you though. Our marriage registry for the Red Book in Chengdu, took about 1 hour at the maximum. The hardest part was filling in the blanks on the paperwork registry form.
The US gave me five months of headaches, with paperwork.
My wife still wants to know why the US has slower processing of government paperwork than China. BTW! I agree with her on this point.
Dave
Well bro Dave
As I recall it seems we was the only couple in the office at this time.
as it was durning or around the lunch hour
The cute lit gal that waited on us did share her hot-n-spicy noddles with us and she also got to pratice her english skills.....
Heck I felt proud as I was able to teach her a few Texas Redneck words.
Yeap your right the paper (s) was just fill in the blanks, It was easy even for a TEXAN, as everyone knows I ain't so smart in math.
As I recall they even take the photos for the two famous "Red Books"
3 photos total... the wife, then me and us together.
Now the cute lit gal types all the info in the computer, checks to make sure we are both single, down loads the photos, prints and paste them to the famous "RedBook" and to her paper work
Sign here and here, and pay, then the cute gal said a few words.... and now your married...
You get two Redbooks and we also got two gold Chinese coins
in a cute lit red box
oh BTW they do keep the single paper (s) showing your single and able to marry, and the one that was translated into Chinese with the famous Chinese Red seal/numbers on it... so its best to have extra copies made...
Clear copies as you may need them down the road.
"yeap as you can see the paper work in China is a real night mare"
but as I said before....
getting married in China aint' right for everyone
-
Statistics actually say K-1 is faster and has a slightly higher approval rating than the K-3. That's the only reason I went the K-1 route. Not to mention getting married in China has its own paperwork nightmares.
Good Luck!And what exactly are those nightmares? spoken from experience?Hmmm, 1 hour to single certificate and then the little red book. Yeah, a total nighmare.
Yeap "our lit RedBook" took about the same time 1- 2 hours
bout as easy as ordering StarBucks coffee....
ok not that fast but, it was no nightmare and I'm talking from experience. or you?
I'm not saying getting married in China is right for everyone
I'm sure some have had nightmares, and I'm sure some of it
was just "BS" and some where there paper work was not correct,
etc and some had a third party with there lit fingers in the pie.... like the ex or other family members
Some folks have no ideal.....
-
We went CR1 and I would not have done it any other way.
JMO... My lovely wife wanted to do K3 cuz those gals on 001
said that was the only way to go..... but I put my foot down
and say NO way Jose!! and yes it was like steppin on a land mine
but today she will tell you I did the correct way
Everyone has there reason for filing which ever way that see
fit. But it took us less than 1 year... 347 days from start to finish
and no we didn't use a Lawyer.
Just remember... First in does not mean first out.. in other words
just because your file is on top today, tomorrow it maybe on the
bottom of the pile or heck maybe hindin under someones desk....
best wishes

And I thought AC-DC meant something completely different
Darn you learn so much here in CFL wonderland
-
Wow! I am curious how much that cost, but I will keep my mouth shut. You are definitely the man when it comes to keeping family first sir!
Well shippin stuff by a freight container ain't cheap.
We had a 20" container full and plus on 5 of my 7 trips
back to the states I always carrired some of my wife's
and or son stuff....books, cloths, shoes, purses, etc...
opposs I forget to say shoes and purses?
Now of course the purses belong to the wifie not the son
Even a beautiful new leather Chinese sofa and love seat
We did ship some stuff viva China post but we lost one box
and some of the boxes looked like they had be through hell and
was ready to tear open the next time they was picked up and or droped. Only one picture frame was broken out of all this shippin.....
so all in all the wifie was happy and everyone knows a happy
wife means a happy home....
so the money was well spent... JMO
Get some rest and enjoy ya'lls life together
