Good luck to you and yours tsapper. Looks like this long ride is about to come to an end for y'all. Magic 8 ball says... "Your in there like swimwear."

Hi õ¹å²Ý my wife is also from Hunan. Just what this site needs another lovely lady from Hunan Love that Hunan spicy cooking! Not so much the Hunan hot temper.

Compleate copy of passport is recommended by petition instructions if using passport as evidence of US citizenship. You have other evidences of trip to China, (Credit card receipts, ATM receipts, Hotel receipts.....) That's right now I remember. In our case I had 3 trips before marriage and I sent in the I-130. Copies of passport pages with stamps,and visas. Maybe I sorta killed two birds with 28 pages of passport. 3 trips before marriage. What was I thinking? Poor girl is stuck with me now.

Correct me if I am wrong but, when submitting passport stamps as evidence doesn't one need to submit all pages of the passport(even blank ones) and every page notarized? E.G. The following is an unaltered copy of Mr. Dolomite passport. (On every page and notarized at the local bank) Anyways that is what I did and USCIS/NVC/GUZ had no problems.

Hi dj Two things stand out from your post to me. 1: Is there any other type discussion with a Chinese wife? 2: Yes Hell! I wish I could have mine go visit for 4 months. 4 months I could drink beer, smoke in the house, walk inside with my freakin shoes on, eat pizza, burgers everyday. 4 months of no phone calls at work "I needa yoooou do this and this and this and that". "NO BE LAZY MAN!!" Naw heck I love her. Hope the time passes fast for you.

I know I know nothing like being an ass over nothing. I've been thinking the same. I don't want her to grow up a 300lber and can do nothing but cook and clean. For the record she is a great classical pianist and brought Western culture to our home. Go figure that one? It confuses me too. Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin I want to buy her a go-cart and watch her get muddy.

Yeah that's the thing I used "step-daughter and step-dad" so folks would understand that she is Chinese and I am American. She is my daughter too and I have became very proud and fond of her and her Mother. They are like carp, I dragged them here from China and yet the refuse to die and eat everything. I'm just worried about her health and want her to bring her butt OUTSIDE!

My step-daughter is 14 doing okay in school but behind in English. None of her friends live near us, I see no school books or library books at home. She does help clean house and cook for her Mother and I and for the most part is not a brat I would say normal 14 year old teenager.I think bedtime of 10:30 school night is fair 12:00 on weekends, 1 hour piano practice each day. I have set up a basketball goal, we have trails she could hike, we have animals, vegetable garden and flowers. She is happy but will not go outside for nothing very long. She stays on the computer all day and night after 2:00am and often on school night I must threaten to unplug the computer for her to finally go to bed. If she is not on the computer then she will sit and watch Chinese TV all day. She is getting bigger than when she first came here and I am also worried about her diet. We get along fine no fights just normal everyday family stuff and I would say she is a great daughter. I know I am the step-dad talked to the wife about this we agree on this or that and she will not follow up with her daughter.I am no tiger step-dad. Am I out of line? 1: Three hours computer/TV time school night and four on weekends. 2: Bedtime is 10:30pm on school nights and 12:00am on weekends. 3: Must find interest/exercise outside. 4: One hour piano practice each day.

Love it!

Russian spacecraft (CRASH) landed on moon hours before Americans http://www.telegraph...-Americans.html Interesting article about a lost tape of the ill-fated Russian Luna 15 mission, note it crashed on the moon and failed to complete it's mission which was to bring back lunar samples before Apollo 11.
