Correct, marriage in the USA is not fraud, its the use of a visit visa to immigrate that is the fraud. Also in this case adjustment of status after a marriage is not an option, the adjustement of status requires an immigrant petition that would result in an imediate visa number, typically in the unlimited visa class such as in the case of a spouse of a US Citizen. The only scenerio in where an adjustment of status may work would be this, they marry after getting green-card, she files an I-130 and he returns home to China without overstaying, and 2 years or so down the line he were to come here after the petition has been assigned a visa number and while visiting they decide on adjustment of status, in that case it's possible, but then again it is advisable to go through the normal interview process in Guangzhou for the immigrant visa.

This is not a problem as long as he could get a visit visa. Also could from time to time visit the states while the immigrant visa is in process using the visit visa. Visit visas tend to be valid for up to 10 years allowing multiple entries. As for the "Love Boat" wedding, I think how that one works is to apply for a marriage license in your local jurisdiction and then while on the cruise they simply do the ceramony and captain acts as an oficiant makes it legal and once return home turn the license into the local clerks office and receive the marriage certificate.

I would not do that. Here's a similar case. Couple married while in process for visa and eventually ran into problems when applying for citizenship. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/12/us/12naturalize.html Perhaps a short trip to Guam would be enough to get the green-card (Passport Endoursed) after getting visa, return to China to marry so can start the visa process for spouse of an LPR and then travel to the states. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/541529-can-guam-be-used-as-a-us-port-of-entry-please-help/ https://www.cbp.gov/contact/ports/gu

Citizenship process tends to be 6 months to a year, it's really not that hard, yes, some English comprehension is tested for but not all that complicated. My wife became a citizen 4 years after getting permanent residency. You will find many topics on citizenship here: http://candleforlove.com/forums/forum/37-citizenship-process/ I highly doubt the government would wholesale deport permanent residents even in the event of a war, in this case they probably would be considered to be refugees...

It will be a 10 year visa they don't set expiration to that of the passport. What you then do is when traveling to China you carry your new passport and your old passport for the visa.

I am of the buy it and own it outright, so for the past 6 years or so have bought various refurbished Apple iPhones that were of the prior generation, my current phone an iPhone SE I actually bought new directly from Apple, when shopping for refurbished iPhone SE phones the refurbished ones were at the same price as new. I chose the SE last fall because I prefer the smaller size of my prior phone an iPhone 5, the SE is the shell of a 5 with the tech, cam, processor, and speed of the newer iPhone 7 generation. I have invested in many iPhone apps so am not much interested in making a switch to some other platform, and my prior experience with android was the Motorola droid and it was not good. My service provider is Straight Talk which uses AT&T service and provides unlimited voice, text and data, though with data they do throttle it if you exceed a certain amount in a month, also if you tend to use the phone as a hotspot Straight Talk does not allow this mode. https://shop.straighttalk.com/shop/en/straighttalk/phones/st-iphone-se-32gb-grey-reconditioned-item?gclid=COmGibu_ltkCFYJOgQodtYkODw&gclsrc=ds (IPhone SE $99 Refurbished no contract)

So instead of DC, you ended up at the consulate in NYC? Yes, the visa section in DC handles transactions like this... 2201 Wisconsin Ave #110, Washington, DC 20007 https://goo.gl/maps/F9Pz3HvbKvj

A couple notes. Police reports are considered valid for up to 6 months, so don't run out and get one too soon, best to do this a few weeks before the visa interview. Also if the report comes from the police office and needs translation she will need to take the report to the notary office and get it translated they will make a "white book" of it.

Check Self-Employed and in box asking doing what simply state "Unemployed"

White books are what is expected at the visa interview, this is the norm for everyone who has dealt with this that has gone before you. In most places the PSB is co-located with the Notarial Office. Simply tell her its the police office.

On the line about employment state "Unemployed"

1) Just the front cover, bio page and any pages with visa and entry/exit stamps should be fine. 2) Sure, as a way to separate things this should be fine. 3) You would have signed them if mailing the packet so yes go ahead and sign, I don't think there is anything that says do not sign until in front of an official. 4) Nope... I would secure anything not needed at the apartment or hotel. From my visit to Guangzhou years ago they did hold my cell phone at security. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/planning-your-visit-uscis-beijing-field-office 5) The 2 hole thing is more of a convenience for the government workers who would end up binding the packet in a case folder it is not a necessary for you to do that.

Gaps in your employment will have no effect on approval, the consulate is only concerned with how the sponsored immigrant will be supported if your employment record and status does not satisfy them they will ask you to get a joint sponsor. Also, the consulate treats the I-134 like an I-864 and tends to require the same kinds of financial evidence attached to the I-134. Past 3 years IRS returns or transcriptsRecent Pay stubsLetter from current employer stating job status, approx income level, what you do.Study the I-864 instructions and use what the instructions as a guide as to what to attach to the I-134.

These documents are translated at the same notary office where they are acquired.

K-1 visa is a Non Immigrant visa, and as such does not use the I-864 or I-864A, you will provide an I-134 and your joint sponsor will also provide an I-134 affidavit of support, you should use the same sorts of financial vidence as you would and will later use for the I-864 when applying to adjust status in the states after marriage. If moving to China in March, why not simply marry there and file for a spouse visa to the consulate, the fees at less, and spouse once arguing in the states would immediately get green card status allowing work and travel. This type of filing tends to process in less than 4 months.

Apple pay REQUIRES the use of the fingerprint reader for it to actually if you lose the phone whoever has it would not have your fingerprint to make it work.

Permanent residence status does not expire with the card, the rule is a person should file an I-90 to get a new card at their earliest convenience around or after it expires. In your case, if filing an application for naturalization you could do so now and if the citizenship interview happens before the card expire date great, if not and it happens after that date, again it's not a big issue. If really needing evidence of residency status, then file an I-90 around 90 days prior to expiration to get a new card, but it would suck to pay the $455 to get a new green card only to obtain citizenship around the same time the card gets replaced and then turn in that $455 greencard.

Simply doing the 1040-EZ for past years, mailing them off to the IRS and attaching copies of the returns to your I-864 that you will provide at the interview is proof enough, signing the I-864 form is swearing under penalty of perjury that the attached copies of your tax returns are the truth.

IRS.GOV has prior year forms just need to look a little harder on their website. https://apps.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/priorFormPublication.html
