Congratulations on ten years!!!! I haven't been on this site for a while. My wife and I will be celebrating our ten year wedding annivesary in 2014 and we have cfl to thank for helping us through the visa process. I spent many lonely hours reading and posting here while waiting for her visa, now its a sentimental journey to look through all those old posts. I hope everyone has a great 2013

Do you know how to get ready to shift gear?

Mike, thats good advise to rent an automatic, we plan to do that for the driving test. My wife is doing better than she thinks (and of course I have told her so) but its taking a little longer than she expected. I'm sure she will be driving soon enough. T -
When my wife completed the physical for visa she tested positive for tb, she had the x-ray and is was negative. She was told by several health professionals in China that she did not need any treatment and it was just a false positive (possibly since she was vaccinated as a child), She was instructed to bring the x-ray to the p.o.e. and they would review it. When she arrived they instructed her to go to the county health dept and they preformed another tb test and -x-ray, the results were the same (positive test and neg x-ray). Now the health dept sent a letter recommending treatment or sign a letter of refusal of treatment. Does anyone have any experience w/this and will this have any effect on her visa if she refuses treatment at this time. As always, thanks for any insight.

After the name check started, once they hit about 6 months I knew there was a possible delay or at least the potential. I called dos every week for several months and got the same canned response, name check/security clearance still pending. I called and wrote Marty H. office (assistant sec of homeland security) and received a response by letter (about 6 months into the name check and about 1 1/2 yrs into the process) "still pending, security delay". The I contacted my congressman and senators and about a month or so later, she was eligible for an interview. My wife had a cr-1 interview, k-3 fell by the wayside.

Did your wife first come here under the K3 and went back for the CR1 interview? We filed both k-3 and cr-1 at the same time, the cr-1 beat the k-3 in completion. My wife waited in China (she did not come here first). Our case was a little unusual as far as the time frame, there was some additional security clearance done. I had to contact my congressman & senater to get/keep the case moving. Hopefully you will not fall into the same black hole, but be advised and prepaired it can happen. T

We were cr-1. She has been home for a little over a week, it took 2 years +.

Adding pages to a USC passport
eeyore replied to Stone's topic in General Visa Discussion & First Steps
You should be able to go to your local post office and they will give you a form to fill out and send (w/passport) I think for a fee you can have some form of express expedition. -
If you guys post this question to me, I'd flash Birth Control Ads "If you do it once day, you have more school fees to pay . If you do it once a year, you have more time to drink beer "!!! 237855[/snapback] Amen sister!!!!!! Gotta love Chinese philosophy

I can relate, I'm just now returning from the brink of the black hole abyss. Hang in there, it will come to an end and it will be well worth it :candle: :candle:

Wow! it takes 2 years for a CR1! 236906[/snapback] I noticed it too, you have been married for over two years.why is it still CR1 instead of IR1? 236945[/snapback] I think that could be correct. I don't know for sure and really don't care, just as long as she was approved, passed and has it in hand which she does.
