Not a good idea to debate with her the pros and cons about
China. The USA its ok to do so. My wife does not like the .gov
in China at all but she does not care for anyone putting the PRC
down including me. I found real fast its best to let her bring
up the subject. She will be your guide on what to say and what
not to say.
Its up to you to figure out how she wants you to react.
Best not to dwell on a chinese thing as a whole.
Not if its between you and wife. Its best to leave it
at that. Mood changes may not apply though, seems
to differ then
We didn't really debate anything much. I was just surprised that she banned me from reading it. I never say much negative about China. I know there was a time when her family was poor, but they prospered in later years. Heck, that was my life also.
As far at the US over China, my wife would have been just fine with me moving to China instead of her moving here.
I understand. She kinda banned me to. Dont have a real reason
why she did, she just did. I guess its a subject we guys talk
about between ourself. With wife we just kinda have to agree.
Its ok though, not a subject for argueing. Nothing realy is.
Our home is in China also. I'm still trying to understand why
we are not there now. Its been 5 years, still have a few
things cant seem to get a straight answer on. Shes my life
so all I know to do is she will tell me.
To do it my way wont work.
I'm happy with that.

I'm actually highjacking Chilton's thread. Not intentionally, but I want to talk about it from a different perspective.
http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36812
I first read about this last week in Time. I started to read the article and I didn't finish. I told my wife about it and she didn't seem too interested. To my displeasure, I later found the magazine with the pages of this article torn out, by my wife.
To say the least, I wasn't happy. I wasn't angry either for that matter, but I didn't understand. My wife isn't a very political person. Yet I do know she feels her country is great and I agree it is. I would never say the US is better that China to her. The US is my home, but I wouldn't want to disrespect anyone and tell anyone from anywhere,"my home is better than your home",... it would serve no purpose or benefit to do so.
Yes, China has problems like America has problems. I'm sure we here in america have a strong sense of rights that are not present in China.
Having saud the above, I stil don't understand why my wife felt she had to distroy my magazine(article). We didn't have an argument, but I did let her know I wasn't happy about it. She simply said she needed to use the pages for something. (toilet paper maybe?
). I beleive she felt Time was saying bad things about her country. I'm pretty sure she didn't read the article.She doesn't seem to beleive what happened in Beijing back then and doesn't seem to care to know. As far as politics, my wife says she doesn't know who the president of China is and doesn't care.
My point in starting this thread is not to paint my wife in a negative light, I'm just trying to ascertain if this is a common feeling among a the common population in China.
I do remember a woman I knew once from China, who had a masters degree and was in the square when the shooting starting. She used to ask me, "don't you feel lucky living in the US.?"
Just wondering if anyone else has had any other similar situations or what does thier wife feel about how thier country is about human rights.

Ain't figured out what to get the old woman; maybe an iron?
Metal objects hurt

Just wanted to wish a
Happy Mothers Day
To all our wives. We have no
children but I know she would be
the best mom a kid could have.
Got her a card, some white roses
and a stuffed Tigger from Winne the Pooh.
She loves them things.

It's all just a long and complected story but I am working on it very hard to stay in touch and maintain. It is really hard to know what another person feels or thinks without being able to be there with them.
She wants me to move there till the VISA clears, but if I do that, I would have to quit my job and sell my truck. When we get to the states, I would have to start from scratch again.
sorry it didn't work out, good luck in the future
I think you two should decide if you need to sell your truck.
Kinda sounds like looking for a newer model. Distance is a problem
for most of us, many times it can make you sell that truck. I'm a poor
white boy didnt even own a truck. My sweety loved me very much, still not sure why.She was able to come here first so we could be married she knew I was in doubt and couldnt afford to go there.. But somehow she found a way to do it.
When she had to leave I knew I had to sell that truck I didn't have and prove to her what she already knew. And I did six times. Still dont
know how I did it but I did. Yep pretty much quit my job to be with her. Found it not so hard to do if thats what you two realy want.
You do have to prove things to her, as well as she does to you.
Something I think we dont think about to much is shes gonna
sell her truck. Quit her job and start from scratch again.
That truck goes boths ways. Up to you two to want to sell it.
Yep got a big mouth she tells me that all the time. Makes sense
in a dumb way though dont it.
Need more proof sold it. Notice shes laughing. The female guide and her gave me a womans bike. 20 more miles of up the butt proof.

Told us the same thing.
Ours went up to $27.99 monthly.
yep got it also.
Yes, I am now paying the fee too. I called them and they explained it to me this way. They said they had been exempt from such fees under Americam Law until this year when Congress passed a new law covering any web based phone service that does business in the U.S. Sounds believeable.

If a person realy wants to do this there are many places on
the web one can find this type of work. ESL is only one of
many, there are also .gov programs as well as different
religions that offer these programs in China. Many of which
you need no BA or a degree of any kind. You need only to
speak english.
It can be very complicated to do this, thats well known.
This truly has to be something you want to do. Yes it can
be rewarding to you as well as the children. Just make
sure you ask and know all the faqs before doing this.
Bottom line is these kids can and will care about you faster
than you think (if you thought about that). So be sure this
is what you want to do. These children come first not your
thoughts of a worthy goal or a dollar bill. That has to be the
last thing on your mind.
In truth it should not be there at all.
My Wife have a friend who are finding Native English Speakers to Teach English in Hunan Province. There are several vacancies. Any one with BA degree who are interested in a 10 month contract in Hunan Province, China. Please PM me.

She has an SSN? Can't work the same day?
Don't understand other answers. Got a SSN
gives you the right to work don't it? Please
correct me if wrong. We live in NC also.
Once deneid(spelled wrong) due to no approved
I-130 for K3, that was the only reason. If she has
a ssn go for it. She is legal to work .
We have been through heck and back over
this subject. Your state may not be Fed.
Just a sugestion, only a faq.
Best to contact the county you live in.
State and local they can give, we found
it not the same as federal level. Just what
we found, more or less. (not typ). Results
may vary....................
As far as FED law goes makes no sense why
she has not the right to work. SSN gives you
all the right you need, don't it?
How exactly does it work? Wendy is getting bored to tears here at home, on her extended vacation. We plan to mail off the AOS packet later this coming week. How long must we wait before Wendy can work? We have her SSN card and stuff, just wondering what others have experienced and what we might look to expect. Thanks!

Thanks Much!!!!!!!!
MissingYou is also a K-3, and doing the same thing (EAD only) -
see http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showuser=11253

Sorry bout that. Yes shes here on a k3. I-129f was approved
just over 2 years ago thats when she came. I-130 P2 took
so long wifes visa expired, had to apply for an extension
which after 5 months just got that in the mail 2 days ago.
Just got approved I-130 (P2) 3 months ago.
I work for myself and its all but died. Real hard to come
up with $1010. Thanks much for the advice. Will do!!!
Is she here on a K-3?? If so then file an I-765 and pay $340 for EAD based on Life act Visa. I-765 line 16 coded (A )(9 )
If not, then the only way you can file for an EAD is to include the I-765 along with I-485.
Please give us more details, like what type of visa was used to enter the USA? In most cases K-3 visa has I-130 and I-129F filed and typical I-130 and I-129F are approved fairly close together.

Sorry no timeline, it's a mess. Jing has been here almost
two years now. We filled for ead before we knew i-130
had to be approved first so of course she was denied.
We have p2 now for i-130 approved so want to file
again. Can't afford the total package so was wondering
if anyone here did aos one thing at a time?

Best to let them do the photos.
They didn't like any we had with us.
Be sure about the address to go to
also. We found many taxi drivers
saying no such place. Wrong address
they kept saying. Just tell them where
to go. Don't ask if they know the place.
Wifes new one is ten years. If your driving
though theres a small supermarket maybe 2 or
3 blocks from there. Only place we saw you
can park near by. Without money meters
anyway. We were there about 3 hours.
