When calling the USCIS - how do you guys get past the seemingly endless auto menu loop and talk to a real person?

Congrats!!!

Hi All, Address questions here for the I-864 under Part 2 "Information on the Principal Immigrant" & Part 4 "Information on the Sponsor". My background - US citizen married to Chinese hubby, DCF'd with visa interview set at July 27 (I'm getting so nervous...). We have been married for 5 years and living in China the whole time. Hopefully the questions make sense. :-) Thanks a bunch! Question 1: Part 2 Information on the Principal Immigrant - Mailing Address (2.a - 2.h) <-- Do I enter in the address my husband I live at here in Beijing? Question 2: Part 4 Information on the Sponsor - Sponsor's Mailing Address (2.a - 2.h), Sponsor's Place of Residence (3.a-3.h) & Other Information (4-5) Sponsor's Mailing Address (2.a - 2.h) <--Is this my current Beijing address? Sponsor's Place of Residence (3.a-3.h) <--Is this my US residence? Other Information <--(4-5) Which number to use: US or China (current mobile no.)? Which country to record for domicile? US?

Thanks! I've go being persistant covered... still working on patient! ;-)

Hi all - finally got the interview letter/email today at 12:01pm for hubby's IR1. (Yay! Took like 3 weeks after submitting DS-260 in Beijing) Logged on to CGI as directed to schedule our interview in GuangZhou but get this message "There are currently no appointments available." Granted it's not yet 1:00pm yet, but am I just too antsy here? Has anyone exprienced this? Do I just keep trying again and again? Thanks!

Yes - we had a similar issue with the CITIC bank here in Beijing - took 3 tries (3 banks). If you're in Beijing, go to the CITIC Bank on Chang'An Da Jie across from the Sci-Tech shopping mall. There is a guy who knows how to do it there. :-)

Thanks - I'll ask the "patient" to see what he prefers.

Brilliant! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks - that's what I was thinking. Are there any special hospitals in Beijing to get them? I mean that are on-par with what's expected for the medical exam records?

Hi All - getting a little ahead of myself, but like many in China, my husband did get vaccinated however there are no records. We understand that he'll have to get re-vaccinated (no prob), but are wondering if we should get it done before the medical exam (which we'll complete in Beijing) or just wait until the medical exam and get him started on the vaccinations. From reading on the CFL, it looks like that is what one couple did in 2013 here in Beijing. Waited until the medical exam and the doc started (re)vaccinating the applicant. Once all the vaccinations were complete the completed medical exam records were released. Does anyone know if that's still the way to go in 2015? Wait until the official medical exam to get re-vaccinated as required or get a jump on it beforehand? Thanks a bunch! :-)

Thanks!

New question about addresses - last one (I hope) and yet another worry-wart-duh question (sorry in advance)... "Petitioner Information" For the Petitioner (myself) do I put my US address or the one I currently reside at in Beijing with my husband?

Thanks! I get it now sorry for the D'oh-ness! Yes, the mailing address is the same as the present address (here in Beijing) Permanent Address - I put my U.S. address where we (for now) plan on living after our arrival in Beijing. And "Yes", this is (for now) the address in the US where we want the Permanent Residence Card (Green Card) mailed. (I read on the forum here that upon actual arrival, we can change the address. But the current one I plan to use is my go-to, I know I'll get the mail address for the US.)

Thanks for the quick reply. 3) We are still at the same address in Beijing that we used when we filed for the I-130. No change there. That is address I plan to use for 1 (Beneficiary's present address). I'm a little confused with 2 - perhaps I'm just really dense... but for 2. "Mailing and Permanent Address Information" (Beneficiary) Permanent Address Please provide the following information on where you intend to live after arrival in the United States. <--Aren't they asking for the US address here? Because on the side there is a yes/no question: Is this address where you want your Permanent Residence Card (Green Card) mailed?

Filling out the DS-260 and just want to double-check which addresses to use in the form: 1. "Beneficiary's Present Address" The current address my husband (Beneficiary) and I live at here in Beijing, right? (Just like the I-130, right?) 2. "Mailing and Permanent Address Information" (Beneficiary) Permanent Address Please provide the following information on where you intend to live after arrival in the United States. Should this be my US address? We're not 100% sure where we will be moving to exactly, waiting on getting the Visa first. :-) But, my US address is where I get all my mail and such. 3. "Address and Phone Number of Petitioner" This should be my permanent US address right? Not where my husband and I are living currently in Beijing? Thanks!
