may1844 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi everyone,I already posted that my fiance got white paper on Nov 3rd If she gets denied again on the new K-1 that I filed two weeks ago and hired an attorney to take care of old k-1 visa, and the new K-1 visa.I am planning to marry her and move to China, I want to live in China until she get a visa then we move to US. Do I directly apply to the Consulate in China, since I would be resident in China?Is it faster to get visa directly from US Consulate in China?How do I get a visa for residency?Thanks!

freedream Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I do have a feeling that it will be easier for you to get a long-term visa to stay in China once you have married her. I have read a lot lately about China playing the hard ball with foreigners-- and making long-term visas difficult if not impossible.. BUt my experience was always easy at the CHinese Consulate here -- as I always made it clear on the application and to the people at the window that I was staying with my HUSBAnD. IF I had just been visiting him as a friend or (non-relative) it probably would have been more difficult. my 2 cents Hi everyone,I already posted that my fiance got white paper on Nov 3rd If she gets denied again on the new K-1 that I filed two weeks ago and hired an attorney to take care of old k-1 visa, and the new K-1 visa.I am planning to marry her and move to China, I want to live in China until she get a visa then we move to US.

Sebastian Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 If you married her in China, and wanted to stay there until successful awarding of a visa for her - When yer in China, and married: go the the PSB with her, your marriage certificate, your passport, her china id, and get a temporary residency permit. These are awarded anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending ... Link to comment

Li & John Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 My wife said you can also apply for some of the teaching jobs in the city where your so lives( in most cases, it will be very easy). If you get one, they will issue you a job visa good for one or half year. Then you can go from there. Good luck Link to comment
