Take a look for yourself at K1 visa catagory. How many did they approve and how many did they deny for 2003, 2004 and 2005? I'm thinking the government is being too laxed about weeding out the fraudulent applicants. Obviously this is for ALL of countries--not just China--but the overall trend is explicitly clear. The DoS has been exceedingly generous with approving K-1 visas with each succeeding year. Edited October 18, 2006 by SirLancelot (see edit history) Link to comment

Yuanyang Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 It appears that overcomes have an 83% success rate of success. Am I reading the data correctly? Link to comment

David, any website where I can import excel data to read? I'm boycotting any humongous office type combo packages--such as MS Office or Sun StarOffice or Word Perfect Office. I just don't want to install these massive packages on my system, but I would like to view that data. Any suggestions? Link to comment

I just don't want to install these massive packages on my system, but I would like to view that data. Any suggestions? Yes - there are viewers of varying quality such as QuickView. I would not know, however, if that one is still available. Check any shareware site for "viewer" or "file viewer" Link to comment
david_dawei Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Here's Microsoft's Excel Viewer: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=EN --- Another thing to try before downloading any viewer... Go to Explore / Tools / Folder Options Scroll down to XLS ; click on ADVANCED Is "Browse in same window" clicked? IF not click this and try to view the online excel file.. (not sure if this option still requires Excel.. but it's meant to view an excel file in a browser window instead of opening Excel). Link to comment

Haha... when I searched for "excel viewers" the first one of course was the MS Excel Viewer.. haha.. As for XLS file type, it's not registered on my system as there's nothing that's assigned to launch XLS files currently. I guess I'll have to download that MS viewer... the other viewers are all shareware it seems. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Link to comment
C4Racer Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 It will be very interesting to see if the numbers tighten back up in 2006 and 2007, after the US ICE busted up some big K1 visa fraud rings. Link to comment

You should be able to view the xls file in Internet Explorer with out downloading a viewer.You can do this by one of two ways. Find the file, right click on it, select open with and then pick Internet Explorer. You can also register the extension into your file types. Click on My Computer, click on C: (Local drive) and bring up the root of your hard disk. Now up on the file menu, goto Tools - Folder Options. The Folder Option Dialog screen will now be up. Click on the File Types tab.Select New. enter xls in the file extension box. click ok. Now with the new extensiom highlighted, click change. It will tell "Windows cannot open this type of file". Click the radio box +select the program from a list. click ok. Choose Internet Explorer. Click okay. Click close.Now this file type will open with IE, anytime you click on it. Link to comment
