Dead Zone

[Phillip2 3]

I would like to say everytime I come to the China section I never see much action going on here. I am also a memebr of CFL. I am not planning on spending much time there until after my approval at NVC.

I am curious about once done at NVC what is next top happen. Because then it is up to my wife t o complete the remaining things left I know.

I am willing to listen to anyone that wants to start talking about this. We are all a team so let us get this dead horse moving again. I know there is e enough of us from China to start getting some more value here.

I agree. My experience hasn't been all that smooth. I filed my AOS through an attorney in late August, and got my bio taken a month later in Sept. RFE response letter (for more support for my sponsor's tax return) was sent just a few days ago, and now I am waiting to hear what's going to happen next. It has been frustrating dealing with the attorney... the case was handed down to one of his assistants who pretty much has no idea what's going on. Looking back, I wish I did homework and DIY instead of hiring someone else who I obviously still don't trust... My case is very straight-forward with nothing to explain, and no in-between gaps or anything, but now I am stuck dealing with the law office most of the time, to push my case forward. Well well well, that's my experience so far with the AOS.

Phillip2, sorry, I don't have anything to add to the NVC topic...

You're darn right it's dead here. Over in the SE Asia section, we have way more discussion about Vietnam only than you guys have here, and you've got your own country forum.

I wish I could help you with your question intelligently, but I really can't. I do have more than a passing interest in China and Chinese immigration issues, but of course I've never been through the Guangzhou consulate experience as my wife is Vietnamese. Good luck to you.

Ha, thanks!! I've actually lived in the States for quite a while (undergrad and grad school)... from Beijing originally. Hubby and I live in Manhattan, and it's a hectic place (lots of grumpy people, hahaha)... So yea I am currently on an H1B (working already), so just doing the AOS thing here, going GREEN from H1B through marriage (instead of through employment, which takes FOREVER)... My hubby taught English in China a few years ago, and absolutely LOVED the experience. I've never been to Guangzhou. Have you guys ever considered moving back to the Far East to live? :star:

Wow from BJ? Whats a H1B? Sounds like a shorter time frame is it? I agree with hubby I LOVED it there to. And yes we will be going back to live. Wifey paid off our home in gaungzhou before she came here. Its a long story but we didnt meet on some date site. Wifey wants to live and work here until we get older then go home to GZ. She is the boss so what she wants is what we will do. Did hubby teach in BJ?. I have had offers to teach english in China. Had offers to come to HK and the mainland in the field I know best. Wifey says no for now.

Our family is in Xian. Dad has been very sick for the last two years. We just found out he passed away. He was 84 and I loved him very much. We will be gone for a while. Wifeys family (my family) wants us to be there. Take care.Wish you and hubby all the best!!!!!!!!!!

An H1B is a work visa. It is not an immigration type visa. Getting here through work, as has been mentioned, takes forever and costs somebody a lot of money.

Hi! Sorry to hear about your father... Yes, H1B is a work visa. It's for a 6-year period, and can be extended beyond the 6-yr time frame if the applicant files for permanent residence 1 yr before the expiration date. My hubby taught in BJ, and really enjoyed the experience...
