dnoblett and Randy, thanks for your response! I got an email reply from USCIS Beijing that I sent last week, they seem to be really strict on needing to cancel the old one before they let me file again! Seems like a gamble if I go cancel my old one and could possibly end up not getting accepted for the new one

Yes, it was a mistake and we should have tried DCF before filing with the Lockbox! Would there be any issues if we submit this DCF I-130 while the other one is processing in Texas? And thank you for your suggestion, Randy. I will try to include anything that can show my time living in Shanghai.

Hello everyone, I have filed I-130 for my Chinese wife thru Chicago Lockbox in July 2018. It was accepted to Texas, but the wait times are getting way too long. I am wondering if I should try to file again thru DCF with USCIS Beijing although I believe my situation is not so straight forward. I tried to get a definite answer from USCIS Beijing, but their response is that every case is different and I will need to make an inquiry in person, so I would like to hear your suggestions on rather I should travel to Beijing to attempt for DCF. Here’s my issues: I am an US citizenI was born in Hong Kong, so I have a HKID card and the Mainland Travel PermitI only use the Mainland Travel Permit to live/work/enter and exit China. I have never used my US passport to get into ChinaI met my wife in Shanghai and we are still living there togetherI still work in ShanghaiWe got our marriage certificate in the US For proof of residence in China, will the following be enough?: Work permit (I don’t have a resident permit, as this is no longer issued for Mainland Travel Permit holders)Employment contractBank statements Thank you for your help!
