hoopy - verra cool !

Congratulations !

When you get a moment, can you please fill out something in the Embassy Review portion of yer timeline? Yer the 2nd case that had the 2 day 'stuff' at GUZ IV, since the changeover on 6 DEC 2010, and this info would be most helpful to folksen coming up behind you.

Wei - you going to China for CNY? If no plan, suggest you rethink all - as is best time to celebrate with all of the family - they will BE THERE anyway - and will be a good time to visit, prior to the big jump.

re: IR-1 :: WHOOP !! No more foolishness until ya want to file for USC. YAY !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Well my frind Pushbrake is the expert but I know when she was approved we then had to tell them when she took the approval paper and her passport to Guanzhou that we were wed over 2 yrs and get the IR1...so if you havent been ,married your choice of CE1 is the best I guess...just take yout ime and do it right...they will find any reason to make you work harder...I wish you well and hope it goes smooth...Hoopy
