guanxi rocks. Don't forget about the Chinese to English Translation step, though - usually done at another office, not the PSB.

yeah, we know all about this having had to do it for her Notarial Birth Certificate. The irony being that they asked her family did she need the police certificate and we said no...thinking the VN one was all that was needed! argh!

so the good news is 300RMB (and some shoes from me) did the trick....her brother has the certificate. getting notarized and translated today and I should have it in my hands sometime next week so we should be good to go with no delay to our plans.

after the initial frustration things have calmed down a good bit.....sorry for being so hysterical but needed to vent a bit of pressure....

thanks folks!

regards

will

Excellent! Burn some joss this weekend.

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.

Last year when MyTam went through the process, we had trouble getting it from Cambodia when she lived there. Good news was Cambodia was on the list of countries that don't require it, but when she went for the interview, she got a blue slip asking for it anyway. Apparently, things had changed.

everything went fine....thanks for all the support and advice. we got to the consulate office around 12:50. i had been told we could go right in and straight to window #2 but we had to wait in the line outside before going in and then in the immigration section there were 3 lines in the queues set aside for the morning appointment times. no one at the window until just after 1pm. i noticed a bunch of blue slips. the front of the 3 lines started going to the window one by one, alternating, but patience eludes everyone and it was quickly a mad press for the window. being the tallest (and only white guy) I could reach over a few and get my blue slip in there. then it's getting a number and waiting. finally after about 45 minutes called for document intake....handed over the police certificate and told to wait. another 45 minute or so wait....called to the window, handed our EMS label and the white instruction sheet and told to go pay for our delivery. and that was it....

finally....Sarah relieved that a 5+ year ordeal is over.....now how to figure out how to hang on to the GC.

regards
