They did not think the marriage was real, and the wife couldnt speak fluent english, and I couldnt speak fluent chinese. You have to remember, the wife and her friends know about US immigration inside and out. She will not listen to me. She will listen to her friends though. When she says to the officials, I talked to a lawyer friend and he said coming to HK is much easier to get visa, well that sunk that ship. Nobody with a I-129F and married will pass interview at HK, they will say to them like they did me, go to GUZ. So thats a waste of time to go to HK.

You might get a interview with HK, BUT YOU WILL GET DENIED using the I-129F. Just go with the I-130 and run with it. Trust me I have been through that 2 weeks ago.

Just got back from Shenzhen, it gets harder and harder to leave the wife there every time I leave. damn it. Anyway, I got the ball rolling again, I contacted Mark and we will talk tomorrow, he said nothing is impossible. He also said GUZ might return that petition back to the states without any action and that is a big NO NO that is against the law. I just paid the $70 fee, so here we go again to GUZ. The way I understand that fee paying stuff, is now I wait to hear from USCIS for the next step. Also, what is the choice of agent form, explain that process, I think I tossed that, can I get another one.

I never heard of front loading until 4 months on here. So I just sent petitions using instructions from VJ only. Questions asked wife, remember after I was asked upstairs, after they had already taken photos from her album, sealed medical records and looked at a binder full of chats and emails and other stuff. The first grilling was in front of me, I stood up to go to her and was told to go sit down. (1 hour) What website we met at? Does wife understand english? Does husband understnad chinese? Husband full name? What I do for work? How many times divorced? Do husband have kids and how many? Where does wifes daughter live? Did husband know step daughters husband before daughter married? How far husband live from daughter and son-in-law? Any other relatives in the US? He told wife he does not believe we have a reliable marriage Wife tells him we go HK to marry to have interview HK. Asks where we have been to visit in China? He asked wife why 1st interview not take husband taxes? thats BS Finally say to wife not believe the marriage is true. Some of these questions were in an office I was not allowed in.

After a heated discussion with the wife, she wants a USA lawyer, I said anything you want. Whos a good lawyer that wont take the money and run and one that has been through the same situation. Hellother people have been through worst and got approved. Yahoo Ming plays ballfor the houston rockets couldnt speak a lick of english and got a visa in 2 months, yeah right. Its the money talks and BS walks I guess. Nice rules for for immigration.

Bottom Line..........denial.............."not a bonifide relationship". They did not look at document one from me. They wanted to see what wife had. Wife showed them emails, receipts for presents sent to her cards from postal and thats it. I had a suitcase full of emails and chats, bank statements, deposits for 2008, DBA business stuff, I was loaded for bear and they did not ask for one document from me. Hell, I had all the proof for 4 years. Go figure that one !!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the lastest sports fans.........ANOTHER DENIAL @ HK this has been an experience for sure. Got to the Consulate and the only one allowed upstairs was the wife, I was fit to be tied. About an hour later they came down for me. They had taken some docs and pics from the wife before I was upstairs. Only about 5 for interviews, just a room with chairs like a gallery and 4 tellers windows (bullet proof) where they conducted first part of interview. Everyone heard your business and very unprofessional. We were the last, they asked the wife up to the window and they started to ask wife questions in Chinese. They asked if she could answer in English, she said no. Then the questions came hot and furious, she stood there for an hour, question after question. They asked me if i could speak chinese I said very little, they were a little pissed and asked how we understood each other. I said after 4 years we know each other more than you think. That ended that. Then they went to have a pow wow and the lady brought re-enforcements a man. Asked the wife to step inside an office without me and started grilling her again. They came out and said to me because wife knows little english and I know hardly no chineseNO GO. Plus they pulled from the wife we married in HK to interview in HK, well that was a no no. So they denied right then and there and said go to GUZ with the I-130. which they had no record of in computer. Since no ties to HK thats the route to go. The man even came out and spoke several sentences in chinese real quickly to me. I went duh So the moral of the story is, if the significant other cannot speak at least 50% english and understand it, and you cannot speak at least 30% chinese, and you have no ties to HK, you wil not get a petition there FOR SURE. I am glad I have the I-130 still in the kicker, al I have to do to start that is send in the $70. HK is strickly ENGLISH all the way. Thats it from Shenzhen for now......I need a break to relax after this one. over and out

You cannot withdraw, cancel or anything else with a petition, trust me I know. It just sits there in limbo forever. You will not here from the state department so dont worry of this stuff. Just do your busniess and let it go.

I arrived 2 days before, and the wife had done everything ahead of time. I showed divorce papers, passport, signed a document, done deal in 10 mins, got the date and time 2 days later, and happy days forever.

GUZ's last infamous words "not a bonifide relationship" that must be in the confidential code they swear to at that consulate. The other is "thats their gut feeling", they have no guts otherwise they would tell you the real reason. All of you that are waiting good luck and persue your happiness and love with your significant other, its worth every rmb. 1 more day and i'm gone to Shenzhen.

FABULOUS news CONGRATS your on the downhill slide now, You 2 be safe always.

Thanks David, your one of the go to people to look at another aspect of all of this. Its great to have you here for sure.

What sense is it for them to approve both on the same date then. I think that is so nuts. I had both my I-129F and I-130 approved on the same day. I have a GUZ number and a HNK number.

I would think that if you made the 125% level, that would be sufficent. Like 17,500 20,500, 21,700, 22,300. The rules are the rules, but dealing with Guz they can twist them every which way but loose

Put your time line down, please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please put your time line down so the rest of the group knows whats happening. All you have to do is read everybodys time line will save you asking questions.

Sorry, if you felt i was bashing, no no no i am not "a-son-of-a-bash". I just widh more people would come here first and then ask. It would cost the time of getting the correct answers. The senior people have been there done that and have such a tremendous amount if info, I coundt have done this without these people, for sure.

Why in the hell did you hire an attorney. They do nothing but take the money and run. They know nothing of the goings on at Guz, they are clueless. Sorry, you just wasted that money.

That is why they are so damn behind, they are freakin puching holes. Thats the only thing they are damn good at.........hehehehehehehehe and they do a hellva job.

I should have said you will never here from the State Dept telling you anything.

You do not have to send letter to CANCEL old petiition. Whoever says you do is wrong. You never will be notified the petition is back in the states. The old petition stays in Limbo in the computer and that is that. I have been there and done that, so take my advice please. Just let it go and do the K-3. I still haven't found out the real reason for my denial, just "not a bonifide relationship" great answer to tell you nothing.

When I sent in all my forms and data I did a cover letter and put them in seperate folders according to the cover letter and labeled every folder with black marker. This way they can remove them freely and can punch holes in them any which way they want.

Just received an email from HK and our interview date is for March 24th @ 8:30am sharp. Here we go again, I am loaded for bear. I just booked the flight. One suitcase is full of paperwork....hehehehehehe
