Good luck to you! ºÃÔË!

Correct, Priority date is for other types of visa applications as if in the case a US citizen were to petition to get a visa for example a Sister, or Brother, there are numericale limitations on how visas are issued. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/ty...types_1306.html Your letter was a form letter with all the standard wording. Spouse and finance visas are exempt from priority dates.

I would contact DOS and NVC about this, if it has taken that long, your petition would have expired before it would have been entered into the system there at the consulate, the consulate can extend the approval as long as they do it before it expires. I know that GUZ stores cases for up to 2 months before they "receive" them into their system, but more than 4 is excessive. Good luck!

Kevin You state you don't have home in states, do you still claim parent home as residence? This is considered your Domicile, indicate your father's home as your place of residence in the USA. The law requires that sponsors be domiciled (live) in any of the States of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any territory or possession of the United States. Read: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/in...nfo_1328.html#4 Great care is needed on your part about how you fill out the forms especially about Domicile. Good luck!

Parents apply for a B-1 tourist visa them selves at nearest US consulate or the embassy in Beijing. http://beijing.usembassy-china.org.cn/touristbusiness.html Good luck

Have you checked your case on line? I would just to see if they sent anything and items were returned. June and July are on the line for the backlog caused by IMBRA a few months ago. Check case status here: https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp

Correct, in order to apply for citizenship "Naturalize" the Legal Permanent Resident (Green-Card holder) needs to live in the U.S. for at least 5 years with out leaving the U.S. on trips lasting 6 months or longer. Or in the case of a LPR spouse of a U.S. Citizen, it is 3 years residency in the U.S. without trips of 6 months or longer. http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/guide.htm http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/index.htm

You mean P3, P4 is the invitation to interview packet, P1, and P2 you dont see I beleive they are between USCIS and NVC, and NVC and Consulate. About Police report: http://travel.state.gov/visa/reciprocity/C...der/C/China.htm Your fiance needs Notarial birth certificate and unmarried certificate both should be unavailable at the local Notarial Offices (Gong Zheng Chu) Also should be able to get the certificates translated there.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/reciprocity/C...der/C/China.htm I suspect the record goes back to age 16. She live in any place outside of China for more than 1 year? If so a police certificate is needed from that country. One other thing she may want to get at the Notary office is her NOTARIAL WORK EXPERIENCE CERTIFICATE, and of course the Notarial unmarried Certificate, and if haven't got it yet also the Birth Certificate.

Huh? almost every home has TV's in every bed room I don't have a TV in the bed room, but I do have an old 17" computer monitor with Mac-Mini attached to it to act as an entertainment computer to play DVDs and other videos on. Dose that count as a TV?

OK, my fiance did not like my green ball cap when I visited her, said bad luck. So chalk that one in the bad luck column. I found this sight about all things Feng Shui a while back when looking for a book about tea for my fiance, and get the monthly letter from them. http://www.dragon-gate.com http://www.dragon-gate.com/resources/alert/index.asp (Feng Shui Alert the monthly letter) Enjoy!

AOS has more documents required. The affidavit of support is different that the one at the visa interview. Uses the legally binding I-864 form. http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k1k2visa-aos.htmlhttp://www.visajourney.com/faq/k3k4visa-aos.html You need a lot of documentation for this interview, they are looking for evidence of a bona fide marriage, things that prove that you are living together. Like Joint bank accounts, insurance, name on house lease, the list is very long. A few guides: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3aos You are taking a casual attitude, not preparing is just asking for a denial.

Awesome! Looks like things are moving along nicely!

I was reading the Chinese Embassy site in DC and the Chinese page only indicates that they won't accept Visa applications by mail, but nothing about not extending a Chinese passport. http://www.china-embassy.org/chn/hzqz/hzlxz/t84203.htm Looks like the fee is 10 + 5 for return mail. For visa, passport, authentication applications, please contact: The Visa Office of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China 2201 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Suite 110, Washington D.C. 20007 Tel : (202) 338-6688 Fax: (202) 588-9760

If her passport is still in maiden name book her tickets in the passport name, and have a copy of the marriage license handy and of course the green card in order to get back into the states. See this post about traveling to china after AOS. http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20663

Correct a the SSA will issue SS number to a K-1 visa holder during the valid period of the visa, so the first 90 days is when to get the number, if not you will have to wait for EAD to get the number. After AOS and when you have the green card return to the SSA office and have them reissue an unrestricted card. See: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...om&page=ssn https://s044a90.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/36f...b4?OpenDocument Note: C. POLICY - EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION BY CLASS OF ADMISSION, K-1 is listed in the table. Some times having this page printed out and having it handy when visiting the Social Security office, is a helpful reminder to them that K-1 holders can get the SS number.

if you use the e-file, YOU MUST Sign it after printing one out.. someone got a blue slip for giving them an e-file prinout (unsigned)... If you want transcripts quickly, you can get them in a day turnaround, but you'll pay for it... I ordered transcripts on a Tuesday, and they were in my mail box on Saturday. The agent at the IRS that I spoke with was very nice, and printed them out as we spoke and put the in the mail the following day. I live in NY and the IRS office is in OH so that may explain the fast mail time. It may be too short of a time to order then in your case though.

Police certificates are good for 1 year. http://guangzhou.usconsulate.gov/kvfaq.html

Wow we are about a month behind you, great to hear that they are moving along.

From every thing I read the divorce time is not a red flag, they are mostly looking for evidence of a relationship. In your case with 5 and 13 years you will not have any problems.

Correct K-3 visa holder needs to get EAD or Green Card first in order to get SS number. The Visa journey guides that TONADO pointed out are an excellent resource! Another link to VJ's FAQ: http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k3k4visa-aos.html

Call the IRS and request Tax Transcripts they are free of charge, they are acceptable in place of copies of tax returns. And take a week or so to get them. http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

From USCIS site. http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/PermRes.htm#maintain Should be fine as long as green card dose not expire while out of country. But a renetry permit is needed if more than 1 year.

One other thing you may want to keep in mind, You indicated moving back to the states and looking for a job. For the interview you will need to provide an affidavit of support I-864. You need to show ability to support at 125% of poverty line. So if you will be unemployed how will you show that? assets can be used, but you will need a lot of liquid assets enough to be the amount of (125% poverty line x 3) Do you have a co-sponsor in the states? http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-864.htm http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-864P.htm Finally on the I-864 you will need to provide past year's IRS Return, even if living abroad you need to file returns, so you will need a copy of last year's return or if your interview happens next year, then perhaps this year's return. If you failed to file a return last year you may want to file a late return. You can also use tax transcripts they are free from the IRS. http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc850.html http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html (Tax transcripts)
