Chinese telegraphic code???

[mikem]

Help me out on this.. I undrstand you need to put some type of data for P3/P4 in this type of code.. I believe I have seen this it is usually some kinda jumble when the site can not read or produce Chinese characters.. Where do I get and how do I apply it to the P/4 form it is for K-1 129f app.

Thanks

Mike

At the bottom, you can enter each of the Chinese characters for the name of the visa applicant, and the website will give you the telegraphic codes. It's always a good idea to double check this against a hard copy. I can't recall if CFL has a PDF on this, but I've got one if you need it.

 

I think the Chinese standard telegraphic codes are sent in as part of the P3 paperwork - on the supplemental information form

I found this in another thread a little hard to follow

I copied this info from the CUC newsgroup. I hope the instruction is still good.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions for converting chinese characters into chinese standard telegraphic code

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These instructions are for people using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and above.

If you are using something else, you will have to adapt these to your browser.

 

Go to: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/. If you are running Windows 98 or Windows ME,

you should find a link under the START button in the lower left corner.

Download the two chinese display character sets from the windows update site if you don't have them.

Just download the display sets.

 

Next, you will need both the chinese characters you want to translate and their pinyin translations .

Go to: http://www.chinalanguage.com/cgi-bin/query...gi?table=ccdict

Select mandarin and english translation output options (not necessary, but helpful)

Select "show characters ALL"

 

Place the pinyin for the character in the selection box. If you know the tone add it to the end.

For example: "Li" is spoken in the third tone, so "li3" can be entered to reduce the list size.

Click on SEARCH and wait.

 

From the list, find the chinese character, and click on it. At the top you will find a U-code.

Write it down without the "+". Do this for all of the characters. You may want to print them out too.

 

Next, on the top bar of your browser, select VIEW ... TEXT SIZE ... LARGEST

 

Now, go to: http://deall.ohio-state.edu/grads/chan.200...misc/gbtele.txt

Wait patiently for it to load, then go to the end of the file (CONTROL-END)

Right-click anywhere on the screen, select ENCODING, then MORE, then CHINESE SIMPLIFIED GB

Wait PATIENTLY for the screen to convert the characters.

 

Use the FIND feature (CONTROL-F) to search for the front part of the U-code. Start at the botom of

the file and search upwards. Search for "uxx" where "xx" is the first 2 digits of the code. There will be

several. You may find more than one character that matches closely, or only one that is exact, or

only one that is "kind of close". Write down all of the codes.

 

Go to the Chinese_Telegraphic_Codes.pdf file in this directory, and search for the codes you wrote down.

The file is organized as a 10 X 10 table per page, so codes 0000 to 0099 are on page 1, etc. Verify

the characters against the codes on this table.

Hey do they reject if you do not have HMMMMMMMMMMMM???

[kimnjake]

your fiancee may also go to the post office to find out the code for her name!

[Eva]

The telegrahical code is not mandatory for the supplemental form, it is optional. Chinese nationals no longer use this code.

[kimnjake]

if it is optional what is the purpose of asking for it on the form? and what is the use of it anyway, does anyone know?

 

eva you are always so knowledgeable...where do you get your info?
