......I have been told that the most important part of the interview has to do with... : how ' well ' the Chinese person in question speaks English....and I don't know ,..also maybe.. writes English..? Can someone tell me if that is so. And if it is at all possible ...can someone illustrate in some way what they figure will be admissible and what will not pass ....and is there in fact also a written test. ...later...thank you.

Thank you so much to run that by me ...that's incredibly important. I'm on it ....I am going to ask her about that ..very next e-mail. Thanks again. How did people manage before this site was set up..??

I want to thank you for very that valuable information...I don't know what we ' newbies ' would do if this site did not exist. I will no doubt need ' you guy's ' advice many times again. I am a little lost as to whether this message will just go to you ...the Don...or to everyone ....because of course I want to thank everyone for their input..!!?? ....later...sacrebleu3.

Hi,.. newbie here . I am becoming very attached to this Chinese woman who has a 12 year old daughter. Of course I am thinking ahead at this point. I have been told that there are two ways to go about marrying a Chinese woman. 1 ) ..someone goes to China and marries that person ... comes back to the USA., and satisfies the requirements of a K-3 visa ( spouse visa ). 2 ) ..there is also what is called a ' fiancee-visa ' ( ..do not know the specific form #) ..all I know about that visa is that when all requirements are met...she comes over to the US...and you then have a month to get married or she has to go back to her country. 1 ) In this perticular instance of a woman with a young child ...( which would have to come over with her.. not later ) ..is one visa better suited than the other ? ..or is it another form of visa that I do not even know about. 2 ) If both visas can apply in this instance ...is one way to go faster than the other....easier or preferable to the other....do both ways cost more or less the same money. 3 ) If someone decides to go and marry over there ...is it a civil ceremony that must be performed ? 4 ) In the messages posted I keep seeing references to Guangzhou...( GZ for short ? )..which I assume is the city in the province of Guangdong. Is that the ONLY city in all of China that deals with immigration matters ? 5 ) Assuming that the answer to # 4 is yes...is there one visa type that gives most of the paperwork to the person in the States and less to the one in China...making it so that the person in China does not have as much to do ..or travel as many times to Guangzhou ? 6 ) Does anyone know a phone # That I can call to also help me with all these questions. .....I think I will keep some questions for later..if that's allright with you guys.. ...it must be obvious at this point that I need all the help I can get ! Thanks to anyone that will reply. Sacrebleu3.
