Is she able to work

[Derek & Yun]

Hello.. My fiancee is about to go to an interview for a government job (communist thought politics center) and I a bit weary of her working there because I remember somewhere there's a question asking if you are a communist. She's not a member of the communist party but would that effect her K-1 visa petition? Thanks.

Good question for GZ speaks. As long as she doesn't join the party it shouldn't make any difference

Thanks.. But does working for the communist party considered as being affiliated with them?

I would say that if you think that your fiancee's job might put your visa at risk, it would probably be a good idea to find another job that didn't. The job would only be a temporary one if she plans on being with you in the US. Is it worth the risk?

If your going to paint such a broad stroke, then affiliated with the Communist or other totalitarian party, could mean any living and breathing person from China. I'd tell your wife to find another job if you feel that strongly against it.

I don't like the communist thought politics center wording. You have to list your employment and it reads: employed with the communist thought politics center.

 

What do you guys think about that?
