I'm living with my fiance in China. I'm wondering how to write my Chinese address on the I-129f. I've seen some posts talk about it already, but I'm still a bit lost. I can't fit all of the pinyin in the space allowed on the form. Should I just write "See attachment" and write the pinyin and Chinese characters on a separate page? This might sound stupid, but is the attachment page supposed to be stapled to the I-129F? How does one include it as an attachment among all the other documents that accompany the I-129F? Same goes for my phone number. The spaces provided at the end are for a U.S. number. Should I leave it blank and just provide an email? Thanks for any advice!! -
I hope this article is written through a pessimistic view of the moment, though it does sync with the current situation: Worse Than A Trade War: China's Anti-Americanism Flares........ “Google has been blocked forever!” Anne Stevenson-Yang of J Capital Research in Beijing tells me in an e-mail yesterday. “Our company’s back end runs on it so we have to run VPNs 24/7. This has been true at least since 2011.” This year, starting in late May, Chinese authorities began interrupting Google services across the board. In addition to restricting access to Search and Gmail, they also targeted the Calendar, Images, Maps, and Translate functions. Beginning June 2, Google’s advertising platform was blocked. As a co-founder of GreatFire.org, a site that monitors censorship, told the New York Times, “This is by far the biggest attack on Google that’s ever taken place in China.” The comprehensive attack on Google was long-lasting, suggesting that it was motivated by more than just a desire to censor information about Tiananmen. Moreover, this assault occurred while Beijing engaged in an obviously concerted campaign against American companies. Chinese authorities in the last month have prohibited the installation of Microsoft Windows 8 on government computers and launched an investigation of IBM with a view to removing its high-end servers from the networks of state banks. State media also engaged in a coordinated blitz against Cisco Systems. ......

Here is link to a story about the changing relationship between China and Japan. I thought it is an interesting read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25411700 I have heard of some of the brutal treatment that the Chinese suffered at the hands of the Japanese soldiers during the 1930's and the 1940's. In recently years I have heard about the blind slide that the Japanese are taught about those times. I also had heard that Mao did not tried to stir the mass against the Japanese when he was in power. But I never heard the rational behind. From this article it seem like both sides had fed different versions of the story to their people. Perhaps not so much for the sake of revealing the real truth as much for political gain at different times in history. I wonder when it will stop. Hopefully soon but I suspect it won't be soon enough. Danb

Hi all, this is my first post in any forum and the reason why I am posting is because I can't find anyone who has had the same problem elsewhere. I hope someone can help. I am trying to help my girlfriend get a visa to visit me and we have come across a problem which is birth certificate related. She can't get one. She was adopted from around two months and her adopted mother found her roadside. Because of that, there is no way of knowing who her biological parents are. She went to the place mentioned in other topics with the hukou and adoption papers and was told that if she doesn't know her birth parents, she can't get a birth certificate replacement. What can we do? -
My fiancee was born at home in 1990 and never got a birth certificate. She is from the countryside (Nong Cun). Her parents also split up after she was born. Her mother tried to put her up for adoption, but then was eventually raised by her grandmother who has now passed away. She unfortunately continues to have bad relations with her biological parents. As we need a birth certificate to continue the K1 visa process, she gone and asked the Gong Zheng Chu (Public Notary Office) about obtaining a birth certificate, and they have told her that she needs to get a DNA test with her parents to prove that she is their child. The problem is that her mother refuses to take the test. I'm lost now and don't know how I should proceed. I don't want my petition to go up in flames over a birth certificate, but I don't see what else we can do. Does anyone have suggestions?
