A lot longer than 10 years. I have been married for 10 years. This website helped me a lot in the beginning. I stayed married because I got tired of the divorces. Big fight again. Over stuff I inherited before we got married.

Thank you. My original post was on a different email. Wife is Chinese citizen. Our communication is still bad. So today she says she knows about the we chat green code. I call it green code. She says her Chinese WeChat is an American Chinese program and does not have it. Since the 48 hour timeframe and we live in Tennessee I have no idea where to get tested. The health department has not heard of it. I found that strange as a lot of people travel. I thought if I asked here someone may know where to go in New York. She will most likely go through NY. I thought it would be easy to ask wife for friends NY phone or WeChat. Nope will not let me talk to anyone. She lost all her id and bank info and made friends in NY and Washington DC while I struggle to figure out where to go. Thanks for the replies. Now I know she needs different WeChat. Where to go and the process to get on a plane is still a mystery. I am guessing it is a COVID test and they jam something up your nose.

I need to find out how to test or where to get the green code. This looked like you could do some online?

Looking for a bank I could put my retirement in to and withdraw money in China with no or low fee. I know bank of China has a couple of branches in New York. Any one with experience? And any cities in southern China with low smog and mosquito population?

I just got back from my third trip to China a month ago. We went through New York JFK airport. Same machines you describe I do not remember before. Much harder for my wife. I think I used my passport and it printed a ticket out. I had to find someone to help my wife and she had to put her green card a specific way to get it to work. Her instructions were in Chinese so I had no clue. A lot of people had trouble and of course this made us get in longer lines and we were at the end. My best trip to China so far and after 3 weeks coffee and a hamburger sounded really good. Starbucks coffee was about 4 bucks a small cup. She wants to move there but I never could pinpoint anyone who could tell me what a house cost. Her sister lives in downtown Guangzhou and I think her tiny "house" on the sixth floor was in the range of $300k.

That address is correct. That is what I was looking for in the beginning. But I was unable to make the appointment because of the Chinese. As it was pointed out to me because it is for Chinese people. My wife expects me to to most all things, it was a successful trip. We are on our way back for the 6 hour drive.

No, ended up at the Washington DC visa office to replace her lost passport (she has no idea how she lost it). Last year she needed paperwork for her retirement. We went to New York for that. I kind of mixed those two together. DC visa office was tame compared to Chinese New York office. Now we wait for a month to see if they replace passport.

It was not at the Chinese Embassy but at the visa office. I found this out after we got to DC. We had the paperwork so far but waiting for the interview now. Her passport was in her name in China but her green card and everything else is in her married name. 2 hours so far. New York Chinese embassy was a mad house and you had to wait in a line a block long to get in.

Chrome browser auto translates pages, and that link looks like the booking site for the consulates and the embassy in DC.http://ppt.mfa.gov.cn/My wife and her friend were able to make an appointment to get another passport. This was an impossible task for me to do. I guess we will see how difficult it is.

Chrome browser auto translates pages, and that link looks like the booking site for the consulates and the embassy in DC. http://ppt.mfa.gov.cn/ That did help a little better than copy and paste. But when I got to location I will still need her help. Would be nice if they also had English but I expect there are a lot of other people that would like other languages there. People who need Chinese passports are CHINESE - these pages are in Chinese ONLY for all the consulates. I wish my wife was able to do a lot of things. She speaks and reads Chinese, I don't. I just got her to go online and search for things a few years ago. Now she uses my old ipad but still asks me questions I can not answer because I can not read the Chinese. I was thinking other people helping Chinese people get their passports may be in the same situation. She expects me to teach her English but since she can not remember what I teach her for 5 minutes I gave up.

http://www.china-embassy.org/chn/lszj/hzlxz/t1234488.htm http://www.china-embassy.org/chn/lszj/hzlxz/t1234455.htm Thank you. That is what I told her but she says she saw that you need an appointment. If I tell her something it is not true. If her friend tells her something it is true for sure. I found another place online that will pick up the passport for a fee but I am going to check the place you posted a link to also. When we went to New York to get paper work for her retirement the line was way down the block so I am more prepared to go and wait to get in. I expect it will be very cold there. It would be nice if they had posted a valid email and had the funds to answer you. When I get off work I am going to try and compare the web sites with her and see if what she sees in Chinese they have it in English on the English version. Both those links are in Chinese. I will have to have my wife look at them. I did email the link to the visa place you posted.
