Hello there, I am new to the forum and am seeking some advice. I am a US Citizen, I have been working in China on a Z-visa for 3 years with a net income of about 20,000 RMB a month which is deposited into my Chinese bank account. I don't send over any money to my inactive empty American bank account. I have about 50,000 RMB in my local bank account. I don't currently have a job waiting for me back in the US and am working for a local company. My girlfriend and I have been dating for one year and we are getting our hukou in Harbin in October. After the hukou, I plan to apply for her to immigrate to America (I-130). Can anyone tell me what minimal financial standing I or she needs in order for us to to get approved? To be specific: Should I send money over to my US bank? Does she need to have any money in her own local bank account? (I deposit some money over to her every month to help pay bills/rent to the landlord) I am planning to ask my mother (home owner/ my residence in the US) and brother (high income) to apply for affidavit of support with me. Another note is I filed bankruptcy about 5 years ago but I've been maintaining several credit cards and building back my credit. All of your input is very much appreciated. Best of luck to all of us. Thank you. Julian
