Sounds like a wonderful trip Eric. I hope you and Yuhui enjoy all the travel. While she is in Cincy, I can give you the addresses of a couple of hot spots on South Beach. Just don't go to the one with the bubbles coming out the door.
Mick, actually Eric's plan of this weekend is to stay on Candle...so you'd better keep an eye on him..
-
Yuhui will have to put up with mother in law till the 13th, unless Mom can get to fly to Venezuela to see my older brother in between.... What a girll... ( yuhui that is ! )
side note to Yuhui - Inlaws are like fresh fish - good for about three days.
Thanks Frank..
Well, I've been with my inlaws in France for about a week this May... really a good time with them, except for the complicated French talking B)
So now I am busy catching up with my French language and French recipe

Doesn't her paperwork in America allow her to travel almost the same as you? Since she has a visa and greencard (if she has one now) Hong Kong customs should not worry too much about her wanting to stay there should they?
Yes, my paperwork here allows me to travel "almost" same as him.... just the #$%$% US passport is way too flexible
no, I haven't got the greencard yet. biiiiiiiig waiting list in Maimi
BTW, just got an email from Chinese Consulate in Huston, they confirmed that I can stay in HK for less than 7 days....
SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!
B) -
I was thinking some time later in the year when some people might have some time off, but of course anytime we are free we would be happy to meet someone. Esp the infamous poster you get to live with Yuhui
OK, I'm back in the States.
Where is the party ?
Eric.

WELCOME HONEY HOME!!!!!!
though still 29 hrs to go...
-
Thank you Mick for the nice post!
And this morning, when I just woke up struggling to open my eyes, a sweet whisper came "Happy National Day!!"....sooo sweet..thanks honey
And coincidentally, today is also Eric's birthday according to Chinese lunar calendar, since he would be far away in Germany on his "regular" b-day,,, we would have more celebration today!! waaaoo
Anyway, today is a nice day, isn't it!
May our homeland more splendid!
May my honey more handsome!!
May all couples here more happy!!!!

Very sorry to hear that.
Sounds like they had plenty of evidences.
Unfortunately, the VO is kind of God with those matters. Discretionary powers
I suggest they contact GZ and find out what other evidence they might bring that would have tipped the balance, if any.
I do not think the lawyer will be of any use, as , like I said, visa issuance is purely at the interviewer discretion. Not to say this is hopeless by all means. Just to say that I don't think a l;awyer will accomplish more with GZ than they can themselves.
I wish them luck.
Was language a factor? Does she speaks English or does he speak Chinese? Typically the language barrier is frown upon by VO's.
ooops. eric ( and not yuhui ) was writing the above .

sorry to put it in a wrong place..
please forgive me

Hi,
Has anyone here tried to check your AOS status on-line at www.bcis.gov or through the phone at 1-800-375-5283?
We did both and met the same problem that they asked for the 13-character application receipt number which "can be found on application notices you have received from the BCIS" as they say..
The receipt we got from KS City BCIS is just a grocery shopping receipt with some numbers but no way to be 13-character, then we dug out all the files and found that on NOA2 there is a 13 receipt number on the up right corner, we tried this, but it turned out to be "cannot be found"...
Anyone has managed this please give us a hint, thanks in advance!
By the way, we are heading to the Miami BCIS in 2 hrs, would let you know about the exploration.
-
Of course Yuhui did just fine! If she can put up with you....she can do ANYTHING! B)
Way to go YUHUI!!!!!
I like that
B) well, just between you and me Don...
-
Thanks all for your encouragement!!
Thanks for my honey's patience!!! B) really B)
Well, gentlemen, please be more patient with your honey, practice makes perfect, and this is not an EASY job, so what we need is just practice, practice, and practice... and we can do it!

Same here with Yuhui
She's a SPF45 freak
ooops. Wifey forgot to sign off AGAIN !

Yuhui, do you know how to park yet? Maybe you can teach Lijun
We have worked and worked on that...
Lijun says people in China park on the yellow lines instead of in between the lines
Of course... even parallel parking
-
BTW, in case to recognize my not bad driving today, honey is in the kitch now cooking me STEAK!!!
Nice Hubby!!
-
Well... honey, it is too hard to tell except that my ears feel more tired than my hands and right foot...too much yelling " GO, GO, GO, WATCH OUT,, STOP,,, BRAKE... ..." Of course these were from MR. Exxx
Frankly I am pretty proud of myself so far with just about 11 hrs' driving experience, including 8 with the instructor from knowing nothing at the very beginning
Thanks my honey for the brand new car of course
...though I have suggested for a used car for a long time... the new one does make me more nervous with no doubt Ok, honey, hope it won't be long I can go to Publix alone, this way you would avoid the most tiring errand
-
But as far as the company is concerned, he is right, he won't hire you with the 1-year valid EAD for a permanent position, what if no green card after one year?
Maybe it is just for some temperory job like working in KFC??
Honey would be against me to do that though Actually I just want to get involved in the society and thanks for my honey's a hundred percent support!

Well, everything sounds settled down to us so far except the "interview" which we think it is just a matter of time, and since I've got all the papers(SSN, EAD, AP, DL), we really don't care about the interview too much..
I think it is LEGAL to do almost everything here, so I start local university search for another degree, as well as some job huntings.
But today I got two frustrating phone calls. One was from a university, when topic came to my status in the States, I answered" I've applied for Permanent Residency and it is in process."
University: "Then which type of visa you have"
Me: " K-1 fiancee visa"
University: " Then you are not allowed to work here"
Me: "I've got my EAD which is valid till next April and by then the green card should be issued."
University: " Our program would last more than 1 year, so contact me after you get your green card..."
Another call was from a company I just sent resume this morning. At first it sounded like a phone interview, then again came to the status...
Company: " You are a citizen or permanent resident?"
Me: " My permanent residency is being processed now and I have legal work permit now"
Company: " no, we won't consider you then"
Me: " But I am legal to work in the States now"
Company: " no, maybe you can contact us after you get your green card. Have a good day, bye!"
I am so confused and frustrated now... if so, what EAD means???
But I did use EAD to work for a translation company on line once...
Just hope not every comapny/university do the same...
Does anyone here have some experience like this?

Hi guys.
We filed the change of address with the center in KY ( the only one doing that stuff ) on May 20 or so..A week or so before moving to FL.
BCIS Kansas City said today.. "they received it on 6 /24" ( woaa ! Now that's fast in BCIS SOP's manual...LOL )
They sent it to our new BCIS jurisdiction in Miami 7/3.
There is hope after all !
Now, we'll wait for MIA to kindly invite us for the AOS interview...
After that, we're done . At least until lifting of conditional status.
All other paperwork taken care of. Yuhui has more cards in her wallet that she's ever seen
By the way, congrats to he new "visaers".. Yeah, that includes you ChinaDave.
!@#$% The wife keeps loging me out and sign herself in ! Above message was from Eric :-)

It's about time! If they got the info from Atlanta, it looks like they are working on your filing with them. That would be a good thing.
Did you ever get that little cash register receipt?
Good news about SSN Mick !
Now, about the lil' receipt, have you asked the dog?

I was wondering if we might start a list of AOS/EAD timelines, much like those posted in the Visa Delays Forum. Might include the following:
Date Entered the Country
Type of Visa
Marriage Date (if applicable)
Date Received SSN
Date Filed AOS/EAD/AP
Filed in person or by mail?
Where filed?
Receipt number received?
EAD Granted
First Appointment Scheduled
Here is our case:
Date Entered the Country: March 5, 2003
Type of Visa: K-1
Marriage Date (if applicable): March 18, 2003
Date Received SSN: received the number by calling "800" around Mar20th, and got the card a week later in mail
Date Filed AOS/EAD/AP : MArch 26, 2003
Filed in person or by mail? By mail
Where filed? KS City
Receipt number received? 3 days after filing
EAD Granted: Apr. 29, 2003, together with fingerprint
AP Received: May 14, 2003
First Appointment Scheduled: NO IDEA

Hi,
My wife and I are going to China for 2 weeks in September. We have
filed for AOS (fingerprints have been done) and are waiting for the interview. We have a multi-entry advance parole document (I-131) for her reentry back into the USA.
My question? Has anyone had any problems coming back to the US
using an AP? Also has anyone had any problems at the airport in
the PR China when trying to depart? My wife believes that the Korean Air
airport check-in employees in Shenyang won't believe the AP, as it's not attached/printed in the passport and they might believe it to be a fake.
Also does a Chinese citizen (living in the US with conditional or permanent residency) require a visa to enter the PRC?
Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
Ty
One more thing...
My AP is under married name, and my passport is under my maid name. So we also took our marriage lisence and showed them. And the driver lisence with the married name also a strong proof I think.

I came back to the US with my AP from Paris on May 31. The United Airline guys at the check-in counter didn't look like familiar with the AP paper though, he checked it and my passport, then went to consult with someone (maybe his boss?), then came back asking for my driver lisence. thank God I had it. So he had nothing to say but let me go.
I think they asked for DL just wanna another ID to prove my status in the States..
And at Chicago, we very easily cleared the US immigration, they just copied my AP, also I got a new I-94 with the deadline May 2004 which is a year from then.
That's my AP experience, no idea about the airport in China. But I think since AP is not very well-known, you just take all the related papers & ID just in case.
Hope this would help you!

Ok, we have been here since March 28th. BCIS still has not entered Li into the data base so no SSN, hence to bank account, no drivers license, ad nauseum. I have repeatedly called BCIS to no avail. They say to call NVC who says to call BCIS, who then says to contact the local service center. However, down in these parts the Regional Center in Atlanta and the Alabama Center in Birmingham refuse to give out or list their phone numbers. No published e-mail addresss either. By there own admission, snail mail will usually take 2-3 months for an answer due to "lack of staffing". Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what we might try at this point. Congressment seem to be unwilling to help. I am at a loss.
But after so many months of dealing with this system (we started in September 2001), I am not the least bit surprised.
Mick.
This is aweful. Unbelievable. Suggest you contact the BCIS office at her POE to see why she has not be logged in yet.

Really happy for you guys. I'll bet you are thrilled to be back in the Sunshine State again. Missed you while you were gone. Keep us posted on your adventures in South Florida. When are you planning your first big dive?
After I get reacquainted with cave country with some more training , I'd like to do Eagle's nest deep underwater cave, but that will have to be "negotiated" with the safety head honcho ( starts with "Y", ahem ) if ya know what I mean...
I actually brought her to central FL springs on the way over from KS.
