By the way, there should be a fillable version that will duplicate your answers from first page and fill out additional 3 copies. Each copy has note on the bottom left where they go (for USCIS use). Also, my wife is from Kaifeng! Good luck!!!

sorry for delay, website hung up. Can not get contact info due to lady's shame and fear of hearing "I told you so". I will call USCIS tomorrow, not use MSC#, and present "what if" type scenario, and recourse, both minimal and maximum, I may pursue. Thanks for your support and kind words. Give your wife a hug for us!!!!

I agree with you 1000% and have restled with this for several weeks. It has brought Fang and I to tears sometimes and that is what makes me the angriest. We are both very concerned for this lady but know that if we call anyone, USCIS, the police, anyone....we are commited to this lost cause and certainly making things worse in this lady's home. We do not have the financial resources to do much for her. I am not convinced the husband is behind all of this. His health is bad (he say's lungs are bad from car accident...I say cigar smoking). His 2 last hospital stays were brought on because his rotten daughter brought over bottle of whiskey. Perhaps she is trying to kill dad for inheritance....he invests in casinos...sounds like he's worth big bucks (and NONE of his kids work). They do not like Chinese lady for obvious reasons. I do not even know where nice lady is??? Rotten daughter hustled her off today, telling her to gather her clothes (when she discovered almost $2000 missing). I think daugher brought nice lady to be with her husband who I think is staying with another daughter while he recuperates. I will call USCIS and present "what if" scenario tomorrow. I will not share MSC#. I can not see doing much more except advising nice lady. Fang say's nice lady sounded to be having a panic attack on the phone today. Perhaps 911 from nice lady to police may get the ball rolling? I don't mean to sound as if I am distancing myself from this, but quite honestly, my anger at this man and seeing how upset my new wife is when she talks to lady, tells me this is a can of worms that should not be opened by us. It will put a strain on our new marriage. We will advise calling 911 if necessary, but I do not want to initiate something that will surely destroy any home life or shelter she might have now, or take on the financial, legal, and perhaps violent burden (he has a family of nut-jobs) that can come from it? We are still in the process of refinancing and do not have anything to contribute to this lady's financial situtation. It could also mean months of lawyers, court, USCIS, having a room mate and many other legal problems. Sucks to be us, huh? I told Fang I would pay to fly lady back to China, but I really don't have it (unless I want to jeapordize house refi, Fang's tentative health insurance, and tentative life insurance on me for Fang). Don't want to do that!!!! Perhaps USCIS can she some light? Perhaps nice lady needs to work this out herself? Also keep in mind, she came here because she was marrying a rich American. That is why she has told me that she can not return to China. She has told this to many people in China, and is ashamed to return. She also has a niece in California, but can not go there because niece told her NOT to come to America. Perhaps niece knew or sensed something that we don't? I have told Fang that we will not let her be on the streets, but must view from afar and only intervene when really needed. I think nice lady needs to initiate action before we do.... Don't really need this in our life right now!!!!

Yes. it is not looking good and I will post more details after I take Fang to English tonight. I'm very worried for this nice lady and am torn between getting involved and opening a hornets nest or not. Latest on USCIS is another RFE mailed to him on May 30. Also sounds like one of his rotten daughters has stolen about $2000 from her. I am also guessing this rotten daughter has turned off the house water while the miserable husband was in the hospital (from possibly alcohol overuse last weekend). We think daughter is trying to destroy her fathers health. He is wealthy. Sickening and creating a bit of turmoil in my house.

Hi Amy I have no idea either. USCIS kept on saying they mailed out something to us but we never received anything. Finally we received 3 Biometrics appointment letters in one day It's not as bad as waiting for the P4 since we are together right now Lulu got her green card interview date today so thing are going to the right direction. Congratulations on the interview date, and good luck!!! Keep us all posted. : )

....now THAT'S very funny!!! Thanks for the laugh!!! : )

Sorry to hear about your trouble but am confident this will all work out fine in the not too distant future. Hang in there and please keep us all posted. Good wishes going your way!

Thanks, Michael It's really piece of cake. Just give Fang the key and you sit on the passenger seat . Lulu has never drive before either and she knows nothing about mechanical stuffs. I am very proud of her today!! Thank you for making it sound so easy!

I am also so happy for you and Lulu!!!! You'll have to tell us more about the driving thing. I know it is coming for me down the road, but my sweetheart has never driven and I can't imagine how difficult this will be!!! (although we have ALL been down a pretty rough road, huh?)

let me re-phrase - tea from china, well of course, no big deal medicine ? hmmm we better check into this now, read between the lines your bags, you wont freak about official attention like she might My gal just put in her "checked-in" luggage without a problem.

Thank you Dave & Christine!!! Fun journey huh? May we all be happy now!!!!!

That's VERY funny! : )

and to you too, my friend. Hang in there, and know your friends are watching and wishing good thoughts your way. : )

Great advice and appreciated nice wishes from you all!!!! Yes, accounts being put in both our names, and saving these changes in a folder. Thank you all so much and yes, driving will be a must sometime soon...perhaps the scariest part of this process! :0 (Fortunately, additional car and insurance not affordable at this time!!!! : )

My sweet Fang finally got her green card today!!!!! We are both so happy!!!! What's next? We already have social security card, state ID, work authorization and bank accounts in her new married name. Should we go back to social security to get card without restrictions (that red label across top)? Anything else to update? Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!! : )

Thank you and Congratulations to you too!
