Hmmm. I've read on another forum that they've stopped accepting brooms since September 2014. Apparently, they are now looking for something called "the one ring".

Thanks, Randy! We'll give it a try.

Hi Randy. Thank you for the advice. I'm concerned that the embassy may not accept this since my wife explained this to them in person in the interview but they insisted they needed the document. And, of course, Gong Zheng Chu insists on having the passport (or a copy of it) prior to issuing the police clearance. I wish there was some agency that could provide a record of her entry/exit dates and visa numbers. It's frustrating because we know all this data is sitting in a computer somewhere but accessing that seems be the challenge. Best Regards, David

My wife (Russian) and I met and married in Shanghai. Her interview was last week and everything went well except her police clearance only went back to 2011 and needs to go back to 2007. Unfortunately, Gong Zheng Chu would only issue the police clearance from 2011 because the rest of her Chinese visas were in her old passport (which is lost). Even bringing her diploma from the university in Dalian (2007-2011) was not enough for them. Is there an alternative way to prove that she lived in China during that time? So far, no luck getting this information from the Russian consulate. Because she lived in the dorms, apparently she didn't need to register with the local police as those of us working in China need to do so we can't get that kind of documentation. Her entry/exit ports into China were exclusively through ManZhouLi. So, we're not sure which city to even begin looking (ManZhouLi, Dalian, Shanghai, Beijing?) Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
