Hello all, We are just about and the end of the long immigration process of getting my family to the US. I have searched many sites, without any luck, concerning the requirements to properly exit China with our daughter. It seems everyone who has done this has a different situation and story. She has her US passport, but has been living in China via my wives household registration book (Hukou , so she doesn't have any Chinese issued visas in it. We tried to get her a Temporary Exit permit (Tongxing Zheng ֤ͨ), but we were turned down, both here in Xiamen and back in her hometown. We were successful in obtaining a Chinese passport. Does anyone know the process of getting a Pro-forma visa from the consulate general in Guangzhou? I checked both their website and ustraveldocs, but I drew a blank. Thanks in advance, Phil

Hi everyone this is my first post. I am posting for a friend of mine who's going through this problem. Here's the situation: - My friend is a naturalized US Citizen. He was married with his wife in China, and they are living there, for over 2 years. - My friend applied for his wife to come to US, by filing I-130 stateside. It was filed around March 2013. It was approved and sent to NVC just recently, March 2014. -They had a baby girl born on July 2013 in China. - My friend thought his baby could get US Citizenship automatically. But when he went to the embassy, he found out she can't. Because he did not meet the "5-year US residency" requirement. - My friend will have to file for I-130 for his baby to come to US. Then, once the baby sets foot in the US, she can become citizen right away. Now, apparently, we would want the baby and the mother to come to US together. If my friend files I-130 stateside, it would take a whooping 12 months + for process. The baby cannot be separated from her parents that long. Again, the mother's case is now in NVC, and they were just starting to file I-864 and DS-260 etc for the mother. What can we do for the child? How can we get the baby to come with the mother? Please help. Thank you. -
Hi all. My step son will turn 14 in about 4 months. Do we still submit everything based on him being 13 now? IE...no G-325a required for him...etc. Also, is USCIS Chicago Lockbox where we mail our AOS? thank you Don
