They blue slipped us at first interview and asked for 3 years tax records.

Does this list of judgements suggest that they are working on cases from september(petition filed in feb. 2006)? How often do they update this list?

Mine was returned from Guangzhou 10 months ago. Has anyone here ever heard from them for an appeal? I noticed in my 129f instructions I am supposed to ask for a waiver to reapply.(less than 2 years since 1st 129F) I cant find a form for that. I guess I am supposed to just write a letter. Anyone done that before?

Will they even aknowledge a flood of questions about our petitions in limbo? Is this actually the right dept. place to ask?

I can never fit Guijuans address on 129(especially if filling out on computer). Do they allow extra paper for things like that?

Now that "PUNK" shirt I like better than the "PUMA". Check out the hair on that cat!

Try this website for starters. http://www.sadoun.com I bought a Sonicview 360. Fairly user freindly. You will need whats called a "linear" lnb dish. Directv and dishnetwork are "circular" LNB dishes. they can not recieve the signal from other satellites. Thanks for the Info, but in my reading, it sounds like it only works for the computer. Does it work for the TV too? Thanks

I am also interested in how this goes for you. GUZ returned our file after 4 months. USCIS had had it for 10 months.

I settled on Galaxy3c and the CCTV channels it has. CCTV4 is chinese CCTV9 is english.(they also have french and spanish) It sounds like mandarin most of the time. i was watching something last night that sounded different and was subtitled in simplified chinese. I suspect they were speaking cantonese. i think that is still most common in the studio districts of HongKong(Jackie Chans native tongue I believe)

I got a FTA satellite system working this weekend. I have several options for channels of Chinese interest but, I am not sure what is spoken on them. I am almost certain CCTV will be mandarin. Some cahnnels are taiwan based though. Does anyone know if they speak mandarin in taiwan. It sounds a little different and I am not catching many words. I do not want to confuse myself listening to the wrong dialect than what Rosetta Stone teaches.

I have never had any problems with customs taking long in Newark. But I also do not normaly check luggage. Getting your checked bags takes longer than customs in my experience.(remeber to take the train between terminals. walking requires more security checks.) Most of my flights have gone well. this past visit was my first problem. I did not know the ticket window in Beijing was only open from 2 -3:45. Showed up at 4 for my 5 oclock flight and was greeted by a dark terminal. $250 to reschedule.

They always want to blame fast food. Its not the food, its the additives. The additives are found in fast food and prepackaged food. Countries turning to prepackaged food are starting to have health problems, they need to learn from our mistakes... If its Hydrogenated, Modified, Hydrolized or Sodomized it does not belong in your food!

Just curious if the idea of a class action suit against DOS has ever been tossed around? Everyone who is denied a VISA is being called a liar. An engagement/marriage is a partnership. They are calling us both liars! It is the basis of western law that you have a chance to confront your accuser and have access to all evidence being used in the accusation. We are being denied that. They seem to sit on our petitions indefinately and hope we just go away.

I am not sure what you mean by A# and G#. I am only aware of the reciept number (WAC###). How do you get a supervisor. I just keep getting told they do not know anything more than whats on the website. They tell us not to try and correspond for 180 days. I do not wish to piss anyone off with constant calls. But doing nothing seems dangerous.

We are still waiting for our reason for denial letter. It has been 3 months since they acknowledged recieving our case from GUZ.
