Docs Returned To USA

[Deekdooken]

Yang and I recieved the dreaded news - our file was returned to the INS, Stateside. We dont know why, yet. It does not look good, however.

This is the end to a two year ordeal. It seems I will soon be an Expat - I am going to China to marry Yang this Fall, and start over with a spouse visa.

The next time I talk to you all will most likely be from Shenzhen.

Best of luck to you both. Sorry to hear what you have been doing didn't work out. Gods speed.

Jamie, Really sorry to hear that news... did they give an explanation? Best wishes for you and your SO, be sure you take all the documents you will need to get married there. I got married in Shanghai back in February, it is a fairly easy process if you have everything. I am planning of going back in mid November until 1st of December.

Good Luck!!!

Sorry to hear all that.

But good to hear at least you can be with her.

It really doesn't matter where, right?

I have such nightmares and I haven't even started yet (wife #1 stalling on divorce).

 

To go down the road and then start all over again must be incredibly difficult. My lao po and I have discussed what we will do if eventually we are turned down ... we will go to a third country (currently evaluating) and settle there together.

 

All the best to you and, if it's appropriate, please let us know what the problem was.

Your case is starting to sound like Alex's in that the files are being returned stateside. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I sent you an email but to restate what was said.......IF YOU CAN GET MARRIED ON HONG KONG........ a few in here, myself, and my wifes cousin all married in Hong Kong and went through the K-3 and it has gone very smooth and Hong Kong is efficient. Good Luck

I am very very sorry to hear about this additional difficulty. The last I think I remember about your case it seemed you were a little more hopeful, now you have another setback. I hope you can somehow overcome all of this.

It is sad to hear this kind of denial since it often adds six months and sometimes a congressman to help to simply prove you have a real relationship.

 

I like what rosyanne said.. if your together, then 'where' maybe takes a back seat. So, glad to see you can go over.

 

Whatever path you choose, wishing the two of you the best...

 

Keep us updated!!

Thanks for all the support folks. And the advice. You are all great people. I will certainly look into getting married in HK. I dont get to a computer as often as I would like to, but I will get you posted. There are always lessons to learn, huh?

Best wishes to all.
