Sam and Fen

And I predict that one of the questions she is asked "what is your husband's favorite dance?" Thats an easy one, she will ofcource respond "The one I make him do"

And Candle was changed forever. Goodluck Tasp. Go bring your family to the US of A. Let me know when and where in Vegas, I would give anything to see you in an Elvis suit.

Your wife is pregnant and the most important for you both is to keep her stress levels to a minimum. When my wife (then fiancee) had her interview I menatlly prepared her for a blue or a white. I basically told her that if she did not get a visa now it was just a matter of time before she got it and no matter what we would be togather. It also helped her relax for the interview. Hope for the best but expect the worst (sorry for putting it so bluntly). I wish you all the best.

My Lao po and I have know each other for >3 years and been married for 15 months and she is being interviewed for a CR-1 in a few weeks. Is there a great need for us to supply an EOR along with the all of our documents? If your wife is asked for one at the interview and she does not have one in her kitchen sink you will be kicking yourself.

1. What is your fianc¨¦¡¯s (or husband¡¯s) name and age? 2. What is your birth date? 3. Why did you have a late registration on your birth certificate? 4. What is his birth date? 5. Do you realize you have a big age difference? 6. Why do you want to marry him? (Or why did you marry him?) 7. How did you meet? (This should match the information your fiance put on the Attachment to I-129F) 8. When? (This should match the information your fiance put on the Attachment to I-129F) 9. When did he visit you here? Did he visit more than once? 10. How do you communicate with each other? 11. How often? 12. Why did he come with you for your interview? 13. Or why did he not come with you for your interview? 14. How many times was he married before? 15. Who was he married to? 16. What does he do for a living? 17. Who does he work for and for how long? 18. Is he retired or disabled? Since when. What was his occupation? 19. What are his children¡¯s names and what are their birth dates? 20. How many of his children live with your fianc¨¦ full time? If not, where do they live and what do they do? 21. What are your fianc¨¦¡¯s (or husband¡¯s) hobbies? 22. Where did he grow up? 23. Are his parents still living? Where do they live? 24. What ages are his parents? 25. Name of his siblings and are they younger or older than him? 26. You may be asked about the kind of work you do and/or your profession.

It probably does do that with some Chinese, but I read somewhere that Las Vegas is one of the favorite places in the US for Chinese to visit. TRUE! The annual all Chinese business convention for my home based business is held in Las Vegas every year, went to it the past two years, my wife goes to the convention, and I hang out, then after we have a vacation. From Chinatown in NY they have special charter busses just for the Chinese to take them to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. At Foxwoods they can even play Mohojong.

If ya do, get a lap dance so she will fully understand what that is. She'll feel empowered by her new found knowledge of America. I love lap dances but I love my penis even more.

I guess Casinos strengthen the Chinese opinion of America being this big bad place. and if that does not work I could always take her to a strip club.

It was one of my rare days off today so I took her to the Casino to spend the day and we ended up leaving in 15 minutes flat. I changed some money to play the slots. After about 5 minutes she grabs all the money and says LETS GO! NOW, This machine only eat money. I tried reasoning with her that we are here to have some fun I always thought the Chinese like to gamble.

http://www.china-embassy.org/chn/hzqz/hzlxz/t84197.htm In theory you could renew your passport in China if this were to work. I dont know how that would work becoz Chinese citizens dont use passport for travel to HK. Not sure what its called but its a seperate book like a passport. In any case it will show up in HK as an "overstay".

She took the Subway. It was about a 5 minute ride. She was still sleeping, I woke her up. I see a Mop slap in my future.

Got me there. I will ask Tai Tai.

Heres the Wiki page for Terminals at PEK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing_Capit...ational_Airport Air China is 3C or 3E depending on where she is comming from and Continental is 3E.

i forgot to mention that she is taking Continental from Beijing which departs at 3:45pm Still should not be a problem. I think Air China is Terminal 8, not sure what Terminal Continental uses. In any case there are shuttles to take you to other Terminals just like JFK.

Thats is plenty of time. My wife flew from GUZ-Bejing-JFK and her layover at PEK was only an hour and a half. As far as I know since all flights are Air China there will be no need to change terminals.

From reading timelines of other CFL'ers I think it takes somewhere between 3 and 4 months to get the GC after its been transferred to CSC.

Sorry about the Blue. I hope it is what Dan says it is. Hang in there.

The satellite providers will encrypt the channels even if they are FTA, so you will still need the decoding software (which would be illegal). There are some FTA receivers with built in decoders that are smart enough to change when the provider changes the encryption algorithm.

Congrats!

My wife did not bring a spare pair of contact lenses and the one she had she dropped on the heater. They are $500 here in the US as opposed to 200 yuan in China. She also did not bring a handbag and she did not like the ones here. She had her friend send one over from China. Edited to add: She is having a tuff time finding jeans here.

From my own personal experiences, no. I'm assuming in my ACS post that he was matching dates. He didn't tell me that that's what he was doing. I was simply guessing from my observations 20 feet away. He may have been thinking about what he was going to eat for lunch for all I know. If I had the option to get something notarized for free, I would have taken it. When I first turned in my I-130, I submitted copies of my birth cert and SSN card, the copies were made in the US and notarized as copies of the originals (free at a bank). They wanted to see the notary's stamp, but after concluding it was legit, they happily took the notarized copies. EDITED content After reading, it appears that it really doesn't matter if it is notarized in the States or the US Consulate. Because I filed Electronically at the NVC, I emailed them the "new" EOR that was notarized here in the states. According to the NVC, "ALL" documents emailed to the NVC were forwarded to the Consulate. So, they have the newley update, notarized (copy) EOR. The wife will have all "Orginial" documents for the interview as we have been told to do becuase we did do electronic processing. Now, there has been a lot "thoughts" about the interview process. Some say that the decision has already been made even before teh interview starts, some say that the interview is a deciding factor in granting the wife her visa. Any further thoughts? I guess because of the "horror stories" coming out of Guangzhou, my nerves are getting the best of me already. We have every possible document I can think of and more. Evidence, going back to nearly day one. I could make a list, but I'd probably bore everyone. But Maybe I will just as a double check from those who have been there. Any issues If I submit my list for "review" from those in the know ??? Dan Heres my 2 cents on our interview process. I went to ACH because of a couple of red flags and the VO told me how to handle that. I am fairly certain that going to ACH was a big factor in our pink. At the interview Fen was asked about 3 questions, photos and emails. Thats it. All questions were asked in Chinese and only one in English.

FEE; $30 first doc, $20 for each additional doc. http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/no...ces_260608.html Better to do this in the USA BEFORE going over, the fee at a US bank is FREE! But..... Do you not think that having it done at the US Consulate will carry more "weight"? Addtionally, "they" will see it? Thoughts? I got my EOR notarized at GUZ. It was a waste of time and money. So, it doesn't really matter. In Reference to the EOR. When I submitted our documents to the NVC, electronically. I submitted a newly typed and notarized EOR. I have also been told that I should submit yet another one. A short handwritten one... Good idea or Not? I filed I129 and did not send an EOR with the application. My wife had an EOR at the interview but we were not asked for one. GUZ will have the EOR that you sent with your application. I really doubt if they will ask for one at the interview. GUZ has a tendency to request documents you have at the interview as a blue slip. Edited to add: I am not implying you should not have one. Your wife should carry one at the interview.

Very very familiar. Fens closet in China looked like a disaster zone. Unfortunately a wife does not come with "satisfaction guranteed" I dont think China would want our wives back. I dont know bout you guys but who gives a crap if she can clean or cook or whatever I would hope you all are looking for wives and companions not frickin maids or servants treat them with respect and show some class for Gods sake and have some patience you may get it in return 10 fold!!!! Really? Awww Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
