  3. TIPS

    in Culture & Language Discussion

    Posted

    Waiters and waitresses are not the only people who just work for tips. I work in the casino industry and most dealers, cocktail servers, bellhops, and others are paid less than minimum wage. They get around it by saying that their income is supplemented by tips.

     

    I am usually very generous when I go anywhere and tip the waiter/waitresses, because I am in the business and also members of my family have worked in restuarants. If the food and service is good then I enjoy tipping.

  9. Letter From the Employer

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    John Doe is currently employed at our company in the position of lowly servant. He has worked for our company since 1899. He is an excellent employee. He has proven himself to be dependable and diligent.

    If John is such a great employee, why is he still the lowly servant after 106 years. He should at least be the head lowly servant that others can look up to. I bet after 106 years, he can just be above minimum wage. Lucky guy. <_< :lol:

  11. Are digital photos going to be a problem?

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    On my first visit we tok photos with a film camera and digital camera. Pretty even about 20 photos from each. On my second trip we took only digital photos, around 70. We had photos of me with her parents and other family members on the second visit.

     

    When my fiancee went in for the interview, she had placed the photos with me and her family in the front of all the photos, so they were the ones the VO looed at first. She had not problem getting the visa.

  13. A comprehensive list of common documents needed

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    I will try and add my 2 yuan worth.

     

    The list of documents looks good. If she has a child you willneed their birth records and court documents supporting of her custody. You may also need a letter from her ex, allowing you to let the child emigrate to the US. This will probably be needed at the interview, not at the start of the process.

     

    The police certificate is something she can get from her city of residence(hokou). It may not necessarily be the city she is living in. It is usually good for 6 months or 1 year, but it is better to get it when you are close to getting the p-4 or interview.

     

    I do not know if she has to do anything for the medical exam. My fiancee just called one of the hospitals in GZ that were on the list and checked on the times for the exam. She then showed up and a few days later she had the results back. I know you can pay extra and have the results back the same day, but you must arrive at the hospital when they first open.

     

    I am not sure about the single certificate for her. I know she got one, but I do not know where. I did a letter stating I was single and wished to marry her when I send my 129F. I did another letter after the p-4 as an update, stating I still wanted to marry her.

     

    I am sure others can give you a little more info.

  20. GuangZhou Cuisine

    I know when I was in Korea in the 1986 and 1990-1992, that dog was considered a delicacy. I know they were trying to discourage the practice, but I do know it continued. I do not think I ever ate dog, but I did eat in some out places that were off the main drag. So I cannot say for sure. And the Soju probably killed my tastebuds.
