I been doing some checking online for Chinese passport renewal and it seams as thought the Chinese consulate website can't view the application for new passport.

Perfect, At least we have some time??

We where planing to go home next year (2021) for hong's mothers 80th birthday

 

At this point? no green card and passport.

Not looking good.

The passport renewal is in Chinese for Chinese citizens only.

 

Yes, it's there. Your wife should be able to help you.

 

You may need to renew the entry permit at her PSB, although I expect it's there on the Consulate's website also in Chinese only.

[Martin B]

Renew her passport and get an I551 stamp.

 

You'll need to renew it in person at the Chinese consulate.

 

My wife did this a few weeks ago - what s shit show.

Thanks Randy for the reply:

 

However when i visit the link i provided i get a blank page.

Meaning the application does not load.

 

Also why would we need to renew entry permit?

We didn't need to do this 10 years ago when renewed her passport last time.

 

here is a screen shot of the page that is not loading the application.

My wife's visa is still valid, Were just waiting for the new 10 GC to be delivered.

 

Current visa is a IR1.

This will be our second time doing the passport renewal in NY.

 

The only difference this time the paper work/application is done online now.

Start here

If you don't need a green card or a travel document, then you won't need them.

 

Simply renew the passport.

 

You should be aware that the CR/IR-1 visas are good for ONE entry only. After that, she will need the I-551 stamp or validation or a valid green card.

 

An expired green card will most likely still allow entry to the U.S., but may cause her some grief when trying to board a flight to the U.S.

Just a update for everyone, My wife received her 10 GC (second time around) and it took 10 months to get.

 

However? It's time for her passport renewal again!

Jumping through hoops again as always and looking like another trip to new York again.

 

Can't seem to find the application for passport renewal.

The first time we did this is was easy. now today it's not so easy.

 

Any help would be great.

[Randy W]

Congrats!

Congratulations. :redblob:

[Randy W]

Here's one I found through a search of CFL. They change links once in a while, but this one is still current - that is, the link is still active. You may want to make sure you have the version they expect you to use.

Has anyone had their Chinese passport arbitrarily cancelled? My wife (Chinese) heard from some friends in China who said their passports were cancelled with several years still left. She was able to check hers on wechat using facial recognition - it has been cancelled with over 5 years left!!! She is currently in the USA waiting for adjustment of status. She knows of 5 people this has happened to. Anyone have any idea whats going on?? Thanks

The Chinese Nationality Law does not allow dual citizenship. This usually happens when a Chinese citizens acquires US citizenship, and then applies for a Chinese visa in their American passport.

[Martin B]

My wife recently renewed hers at the Chinese Embassy in Chicago. How can you check if a Chinese passport is valid?

 

I've heard it happen to Chinese who got US citizenship, but I have never heard of it happening to an AOS applicant....

[amberjack1234]

My wife tried to mess around with this but I would not allow her but that was 20 years ago and now things have gotten a whole lot more strick. Better safe than sorry. Randy can help you with that much more proficiently than I can. Good luck. My wife still has her Chinese Passport but it went dead a looooog time ago. I think that she wanted it for a souvenir more than anything.

My wife is literally counting down the days until she can file the N400... I've been trying to tell her it's not a big deal but since our daughter was born in the US she absolutely insists that as a family we all have the same passport...
