Hi Hi All, Havent posted in a while but had a quick question about my son. He was born in china and came back to the US to live. My wife is chinese and I am American, we live in Colorado right now. My question is , we want to have him visit China again in the near future but not sure on the process since he got a travel document originally that allowed him to come back to the states (that expired this past May). Do we really need to visit our Immagration office located in Chicago in person to get this done or can we fill out the forms and use a courier service to help bring it to the Chicago office? Thank you! Bill W All, Havent posted in a while but had a quick question about my son. He was born in china and came back to the US to live.

Hello, Everyone! It's been a long time. Has anyone had to apply for a travel document to enter China from the US? I was under the impression that once one had a US passport all one had to do is apply for a visa. That is not the case for my Chinese-born son. The same applies to children born in the US if at least one parent is Chinese and has not established residence. It's an effort to prevent dual citizenship. In the above case, the child is considered a Chinese citizen and therefore cannot be issued a visa. The child cannot be issued a Chinese passport because he has a US passport. The travel document gets around the dilemma. The problem is that the family has to apply in person at the visa center, in our case, Washington, DC. In order to schedule an interview, an appointment has to be made online. It's all in Chinese. My wife has made three attempts, each time resulting in a three-day timeout. She's getting frustrated. Is there anyone who has gone through the process who could describe it is such detail that I could use Google translate to get through it? Thanks in advance.

Wife's daughter is back in the states now. We are waiting on the acceptance letter from the university that she will be going to in Hangzhou to include this with the 131. Can the 131 be expedited? I read a couple places where advance parole can but not a re-entry permit. Also, as soon as this is approved and we hear of this (797?) can we do a walk in for the biometrics or do we have to wait until they say we can do the biometrics and then do a walk in so it can be sooner than having to wait until it's scheduled. Also, worst case scenario, they don't give us the bio approval before the daughter has to go back to China can she take it at a consulate? Have no idea why they make it so difficult. Should be able to go to the local police department take them and have them sent to USCIS. Thanks!

This week the Chinese govt changed the policy for exit of a baby with a us passport and a chinese mother and us citizen father. They are no longer giving exit and entrance books. We had to file for Emilys chinese pasport. And get a us visa issued to the chinese passport. Even though she has a US passport. Nedless to say this caused us a lot of isues his week. Since we were near guz trying to file the paperwork we did a quick passport application and tomorrow I will hit the consulate during the open 2 hour friday window time. Hopefullythey will have a easy way to quickly file for and get the visa when the passport arrives. I broke a rule and purchased the plane tickets for for jan 18. Stupid thing is the baby lap ticket has her English name and her chinese passport has to have the chinese name. Sorry fir extra typo s tablet is not good for my finger,
