Louis, Good luck on the interview. It seems like yesterday we had ours. I imagine you are pacing the floors. Not to worry, she will do fine and very soon the worm will turn for you. Best of luck to both of you. Trigg

It sounds like a plan. A fax is probably ok but I would also mail a hard copy. Good luck to you.

Carl, flowers are cool and a bow for the dog is a nice touch but today I found the ultimate thing for you to get. We were at a friends house and Ling used the bathroom and saw the blue water. She made me go directly to Walmart and buy the things you put in the tank to make the water blue. Then she called everyone she knew in China and told them about it, laughing and acting like a big shot. SOooooo flowers good, dog bow nice, but blue toillet water is the ultimate love gift----go figure!!

The new letter of intent to marry is required. However, it is one of those requirements that they rarely ask for ---unless you don't have it.

Carl, Don't forget to buy new sheets and pillow cases. Ling told me this is a Chinese tradition for the marriage bed. Actually I think she didn't like my Snoopy sheets. Relax Carl, Bing will do fine. I'm not so sure you will make it though. I noticed you even changed the date to the 13th. That's not fair. Everyone else played by the international date line rules---you gotta play fair too. Good luck-you will have your visa in a few days.

YES!! You need another letter of intent to marry. The first one was 13 months ago. They want you to reconfirm this.

Congrats to both of you. The best is coming soon for you.

I think bing will be fine. I'm not so sure about you, Carl. Relax, soon she will call and say "have visa!!!"

Cool, now you get to play the waiting game. It will seem like it is forever until it is over. Then it only seems like a short dream.

Louis, Yes ESL means English as a second language. Most public schools offer this. You should not need to do anything but sign her up for school. There are classes offered for a fee but as I said, most public schools offer ESL classes at nopcharge for a school age child. During my working life I had contracted my services to several public schools and have dealt with this before. It is generally no problem at all. Trigg

Louis, Yes, her passport and visa. She will need her medical records for her vacinations. This is no problem as Chinese get more vacinations than Americans. It is really as simple as that. Trigg

She will be qualified the day she gets to the US. She will qualify for classes and help as ESL (English as a Second Language). My wifes daughter is 14 and we had no problem enrolling her. You won't have any troubler and don't need to do anything but take her to school and sign her up. Oh, and bring her school records from china. Trigg

My darlin' went through the same thing. I warned her about window seven and sure enough, she got window seven. Her English is also poor and she cried. But, when all was said and done, the worrying was for nothing. She said she answered some in english and some in Chinese. So, don't worry---she will do fine. Easy for me to say--my fiancee is now my wife and has been in the US for 3 weeks. Be cool---CFLers always do fine.

Yup, I was in GZ last October and he made me wear a seatbelt. I thought he was jsut intersted in my safety or a big tip--NOT

James, Like most CFLers, you will do fine. It looks like things have gone faster. mine took only 9 months and 20 days and some have been even faster. We will keep our fingers crossed for you. Good Luck. Trigg

Congrats to you. Now the time will go by faster and soon teh bacjelor life is gone forever.

Take several pictures of you and her and family. Save all reciepts--document document documen!!!!. Keep everything you can for "proof of relationship" And most important of all---have a great time in China.

oops! I meant Carl-not Car

Car, Youa re 100% right. However, my shoes feel safer due to the airport foot inspection policy I go through everytime I fly. Don't worry though, even my shoes are liberal!

I know we have many varied opinoins here but you can believe one thing, we are all pulling for you and we all hope everything works out for the best for you. Good luck and keep us posted. Trigg

Correct, at least that's the way it was with me. Send 230-I and I69 to get P4. Do it quickly and possibley get June Interview.!
