Scott Rooting for you! Keep the faith! Others should be able to give you help. Seems like it should be easy. Good luck and God bless.

Yuan at new high today 7.111 to $1 lost another 5 cents since February 16.

Nate do not jinx my retirement fund!!! I sent the Mrs. her cash also, did not go as far!!! Mark and feng! Mark, It sucks. Saw on Bloomberg today RMB is now 7.16 and the one year futures contract is 6.5795 or by this time next year expect 6.58 RMB to the $.

Good luck Keep warm

I did but not literally Sent my SO so cash so she can use it for the CNY and it didn't end up as much. maybe by 2010 5 rmb to $1

Got this off the AP The yuan's value against the dollar, set at 7.1890 Thursday morning, has risen by just over 11 percent since July 2005, when China revamped its foreign exchange system, revaluing the currency by about 2 percent. The $ lost at last 7 cents since January. Take extra next time your in China

Congrats!

If there is a HSBC ATM or an ATM that will take HSBC, you can open an account in the US and use the ATM there. (I once used I think China Bank ATM to make withdrawal) Once you activate it, let them know it will be okay that your fiancee will be making withdrawals and that you understand that you are solely responsible for any lost or theft. Send or leave her the card. Transfer funds can be done over the internet from a different account to your HSBC account. Transfer the $200 or whatever you are sending, takes about three days to complete, no transaction cost, only slight difference in exchange rate when she make the withdrawal. The daily limit to withdraw is $1000 or about 7200 rmb. As a side benefit, any funds in the account is paid 3.5% interest but going down. Good luck

What city does she live in? Do they have an HSBC there?

A visitor visa is faster and if they can show that they have substantial interest in China, homes, etc, it should not be a problem. Plus their age will help. If they were young, then it would be harder. A K-3 visa is a lot longer. good luck

Congradulations! Great day today!

I heard on CNBC Asia Lan Xue expects the RMB to appreciate about 10% against the dollar for 2008. That means the dollar will be about 6.50 yuan to the dollar by end of 2008. She said the yuan appreciated 7% for 2007

Thanks Mark! Yes, I hope not more than 5 months! Keeping my fingers crossed! Nate
