Well, of course we're not going to lie. The biggest issue is whether simply stating that she's no longer a member for the past two years is sufficient get the waiver or whether we would need proof that she's no longer a member. The issue is what would this proof be and where to get it? We'll know soon enough. Just....edgy about this issue. Thanks.

It is unlikely to be an issue, except that it may cause an administrative delay in the issuance of the visa. She IS a member, and will be unable to "prove" inactivity. If you include the letter, keep it simple - no more than a sentence or two. After talking to her more, she found out that according to the CCP Bylaws she isn't a member... http://imageshack.com/a/img401/369/qse4.jpg She hasn't paid dues, participated in the party's organizaional life, do work assigned to the party, or anything else for at least two and a half years. I assume this would qualify her for an exception under (1)... 9 FAM 40.34 N4 EXCEPTION FOR PAST MEMBERSHIP(CT:VISA-939; 03-21-2008) a.INA 212(a)(3)(D)(iii) relieves an alien of visa ineligibility if his or her membership or affiliation terminated at least: (1) Two years before the date of application for a visa or for admission; or (2) Five years before the date of application for a visa or for admission, in the case of an alien whose membership or affiliation was with the party contro lling the Government of a foreign state that is a totalitarian dictatorship as of the date of application Is my assumption correct? Or what am I missing?

My fiancée is having issues with this as well. She applied to be a member in college, which was more than two years ago. After college, she never thought about the CCP again. Basically, the school came up to her and said, in essence, 'You're a good student, you should join the CCP' being a good diligent student, she did as the school said. After she applied, she never did anything with the CCP again. Now, she's freaking out. I asked her if she can get any proof that she hasn't paid any dues or when her membership expired, but her answer was basically 'I don't think so' Does anyone have any suggestions to help? I'm telling her to write a letter in Chinese and English explaining her situation. Is there anything more to do?
