Hi everyone, newbie here! My fiance and I just got engaged and filed for the K1 visa - so exciting! I am a citizen of Hong Kong working in Shanghai, so we just put Shanghai as the embassy of choice. But now I am reading that Guangzhou is the only embassy that issues K1 visa? I am panicking now (esp when i read about to the possible delay in receiving the packages because of Chinese custom here) and wonder if we have chosen the wrong place to apply for the visa. I travel to Hong Kong for work often and have addresses in both cities - is it possible/do you guys advise us to call and try to switch it to Hong Kong? Thank you so much - this is an incredibly stressful process, I am grateful forums like this to get us all moving and staying positive! -
Guys, Thanks for greast webpage. Hoping someone out there with some relevant help and advise at hand. I have lived in Shanghai for some years for work. I am now in the US for the same work. I am Danish Citizen. I met my wife in Shanghai (chinese citizen from Fuijan) and we got married here in the US as its just way easier. She went bak to Shanghai for her L2 dependant interview (, I am on L1-visa) . She had same 2 weeks ago and everything went fine. Marriage certificate and all other docs were in order. VO had no further questions. A supervisor still decided to put her in AP and handed her a pink form for same. Told her 4 weeks or more... no further documents asked or anything else... they kept her passport... As she of course was upset she did not asked more into it as it was no way expected. Now, we have our honeymoon in 3 weeks time and I am starting to get worried... I have read on the american chamber in Shanghai that the Shanghai consulate are down to around 3 weeks in AP wait time, but I have read so many different stories that have no idea what to expect... does anyone out there have similar experience or advise on what / how to approach DOS? I have seen people posting that they have been in contact with DOS, but no idea how to do this... my company lawyer is of little help and jsut advise me to wait and tells me its "usual process"..... well... Hope anyone out there can share or chip in... thank you guys! brgds Peter

I found this list for marriage in Shanghai online. Is this outdated? My concerns are #'s 3 & 4 under foreigner requirements regarding the cert of marriageability. http://www.shanghaiexpat.com/phpbbforum/procedure-for-marriage-in-shanghai-china-t8799.html I'm a US citizen, she's Chinese and is going to change her hukou to Shanghai. Hopefully this won't take long. Anyway , I have a couple questions: 1) Do I need both 3 and 4? I was thinking it was 3 OR 4. Is this written wrong? Hopefully it's out of date. 2) is #4 correct in saying that one must live in China for 6 months to be able to obtain this at the consulate in shanghai? 3) If I'm able to get my single cert in Shanghai at the consulate, will it be acceptable for marriage in Shanghai? My Fiancée read somewhere that it needed to be the version from the states(#3). 4) Does anyone have a list that's current? Thanks in advance for any help
