Two ways to get the Code Numbers that represent the characters used fir her name.

1. Visit a post office, they have a book with the codes.
   
2. Go to this page and enter the characters:

Thank, i did go to that site and type in her name and the boy's name in english, it then gave me a unicode Hex #. Like W=0077 Is a copy of this is all she will need? or will she need to go to the post office and look up her name in chinese for another code or are they the same.

You need to use CHINESE Characters, NOT PINYIN.

 

For example: my wife's name Yang Yu ÑîìÏ Results in 2799 3558 for CTC NOTE Yang Yu is PINYIN for ÑîìÏ You need to enter ÑîìÏ into that online lookup.

 

Also you don't use the Hex Number.

Have her do this and email the characters to you, OR send her the link to the NJstar page or have her got to a post office and get the codes.

My web security software won't let me open up the NJ star website. The Beijing Embassy website lists this website to look up the code - which I can access:

 

http://www.bioinfo.tsinghua.edu.cn/~zhengj...bin/getCode.cgi

 

Just in case someone is running into the same issue that I have.

Thanks for all of the good information, I was able to go to the site and then I went into another site and copied her and the boy's name in chinese then I paste it to the search and I was able to get the codes for both there names. I emailed them to her, I hope that is all they will need from her. If I am wrong please tell me so I can help her threw this last bump in the road. All of you people have helped me so much and I wish all a merry christmas and a happy new year, Thanks

"Two copies of the DS-156 form in English with original signatures. Chinese nationals must also fill out Items 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 18, 20 in both English and Chinese and must provide the telegraph code for their Chinese surnames and given names while filling out Items 6 & 7, which can be found at most Chinese post offices."

Are you sure about the 6,7,8,9,15,18,20 needs to be in Chinese, because no where on the instruction forms say they are to be in chinese, just chinese name and telegraphic code

I am just quoting what I read from the forms off of Guangzhou's website, the link I supplied.
