Hi everyone, I'm about to move to Houston, TX while my wife stays in China so that I can get a job for the affidavit of support. Our documents have made it to NVC. We are waiting for the NVC to send the information to Guangzhou. My wife can't get a travel visa to visit me. We have no idea how long this process will take. Would it make sense for my wife to apply for a K-3 and then switch her status once she moves to the USA? Is this even possible? Do I even know what I'm talking about? I am in the middle of researching this. Lee

Hi everyone, So I'm about to leave for the USA in one month to look for a job while my wife and kids stay in China. I sent in the documents to the USCIS at the end of November in 2013. The documents were sent to NVC in June 2014. This entire time, I haven't received anything in the mail. I got this info via email and a phone call to the NVC. Was it the way I filled it out on the application? Was it stolen (suggested by my colleague as both of our mailboxes open without keys - she has had things stolen in the past). Going back to separation and the travel visa visit: It will take at least a few months to find a job once I arrive in Houston. Once I find a job, it will still take a while for this visa process to play out. While my wife is waiting for the immigration visa, can she apply for a travel visa to come and visit me? I have heard no, she cannot, from many people, including the Consulate office in Guangzhou. It will be very difficult being separated for a year or two. Also, how long will I have to work to prove I have sufficient income for the Affidavit of Support? Looks like I need to be preparing myself for a long time of separation, right? Let's hope not... Thanks, Lee (Texan in Jiangsu)

We had the same issue. My son was born in China. When we went back to the USA on his passport, everything was fine. It was when we applied for his travel visa back to China that they also gave us the Chinese Travel Document. It turns out he was considered a Chinese citizen because he was born in China. We then had to get his Chinese citizenship removed when we came back to China.

Hi everyone, So someone I went to school with has married a nice Chinese lady. He was separated from her for over one year while he was living in USA. He told me that he was given free trips to China given by credit card companies that he signed up for and cancelled (for example, the Delta Miles credit card. He told me that When he signed up and spent $5000, he would get enough miles for a free plane trip to China. After getting the ticket, he would cancel the card. Is this legit? Is it possible? Would your name be put on some blacklist for these credit companies? Thanks, Texan in Jiangsu
