^here's a link to the statement we based ours off of. we edited it so that it made sense for the N-400 and was accurate to the details of my wife's life and experience.
-
I know you quoted Martin, but I can answer from our experience. We prepared a letter/statement which we provided in the initial N-400 application. It was a modified version of the one that we submitted with every other application in this journey. We didn't provide documentary evidence. The statement we prepared was based on one we found on here somewhere. I'll see if I can find and link it for you. Her membership was actually less than 10 years ago. I want to say 6 or 7 years before her application
-
That makes sense. Thank you as always for the tremendous amount of guidance you give!
-
That's amazing to hear!! Congratulations!! Our process was fairly quick as well. Not that quick though!! Applied November, Interviewed in March, Naturalized in May.

Hey Randy, Thanks again. After talking with my wife, we may actually choose to go for the residence permit and stay for the almost 1 year it looks like it will get us. Glad the process if fairly painless! Fingers crossed it goes smoothly for both of us. Do you know of cases where the child and her husband are US citizens but are able to get the residence permit? Thanks!
-
As always, Randy, you are the guru! I think this would be an occasionally stay more than the 180 days situation. So you're saying that once in China, we can just go to the PSB and ask for more time? Or buy a residence permit? Do we need to do anything special or provide documentation for why we want to do that? Or is it typically a pretty easy procedure? Just to add an odd thing about our Q2s is that they only gave us 120 days of stay. I don't think it will really matter but just thought I'd share that this is a thing they do sometimes
-
Hope your process is just as smooth Barfus!
-
As an update, my wife had her interview in March and they just confirmed that in her case she just joined for school and that was that. Pretty quickly approved and had her naturalization as part of a big group in may.

Hi everyone! Been awhile since I've been on here. Thank you all so much as always for your help on navigating the US immigration process. My wife got US citizenship in May! Yaya! But we're both looking to spend some extended time in China up to a year. As of right now, we both have Q2 visas and we're considering a Q1. Do any of yall know if we were to get a Q1 would it cancel our Q2? And how long can we stay in China on a Q1? Are there better ways for us to stay in China for a longer period of time? Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! As always, thanks for all the help and support through this crazy process! My wife has her N-400 interview scheduled in a few weeks, though we did try to push the date due to medical issues (haven't heard back on that yet). I'm looking at the letter scheduling the interview and it asks for so little compared to every other step of this process, so I'm wondering beyond: The letter Her greenscard Her passport Our marriage certificate My birth certificate What she needs to bring? There's also a statement about all document she used for entry. She entered on a K-1, and I remember having a lot of documents then, so is there something from that she needs to bring??
-
Congratulations! That's wonderful! Cheers to making it through that final hurdle!
-
Thanks so much Randy!
-
Thanks Randy! It looks like Lee's phone number is disconnected as well. I hope he's alright!
-
I've reached out to the folks you mentioned Randy, but haven't heard back yet. Any others you can think of? Maybe not limited to the southeast? Thanks!
-
Curious to hear if anyone has had success applying for citizenship who at some point joined the CCP, particularly those who applied before the sacred 10 year mark. Thanks!
-
Well, given all of that, for us I don't see it as an issue. She does not have any retirement from China, and given the current covid policy, I'm doubtful we're going to be traveling there anytime soon. Thanks everyone!
-
Essentially, what benefits does maintaining Chinese citizenship have that would be lost?
-
That's so exciting! Best of luck to you both!
-
wanted to check in to see what you ended up doing Ihp. My wife may be about to start the same process and we are considering a lawyer.

Cities in the US with Big Chinese Communities?
homerjay1011 replied to homerjay1011's topic in Stateside
Thanks Randy! That's definitely helpful! I'm guessing it's pretty hard to find the exact nightly chinese square experience, but a community center sounds like it would at least be a place where they could connect and be with other Chinese people. -
Thanks so much Randy!
-
Hi everyone! My wife is considering citizenship and bringing her parents over. We are both busier than we were before and much more established in our lives so we were thinking about hiring an attorney to expedite the whole process. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
-
Hi everyone, Grateful as always for all the support and community at candleforlove! My wife and I are thinking about bringing her parents over here permanently, but want them to have a community where they can feel at home. We live in the southeast and Atlanta would probably be the closest best move, but I'm curious what other's experiences have been in other cities and in Atlanta. My FIL loves the part of China where he can just go to a square and be with people and I'm wondering if that's in Atlanta or anywhere near the southeast. Thanks!

Thanks for all the help everyone! Managed to easily transfer some money via wise for father's day!

She does have alipay, so that might be a good option! Does alipay have some sort of bank account number or does wise have a send to alipay option? Also, when using services like xoom or wise, does it automatically convert it to rmb? Or is it a choice you have to make?
