Will my recent deportation from China prevent me from bringing my Chinese fiance to the US?

I chose to have diplomats from the US Embassy come visit me and clear things up. The Chinese authorities made a bunch of ###### up. They claimed I was a child molester. First of all, I didn't molest her at all...and she wasn't a child...she was 22 years old. They US Embassy was actually shocked and pissed off that the Chinese police had falsified this stuff, but they cleared it up with the chief of the immigration police. It was unbelievable, but I got out of there in one piece. Yes, you know what you are talking about. Most of the people there are using fake degrees and certificates.

THANK GOODNESS! Does this mean that they Chinese govt will wipe this from your record there?

Definitely a story for the movies, but what you are looking at is:

NoA1: comes in a few weeks. This one just lets you know they have your petition

NoA2: This is the long one and can take as little as 3 months (some very lucky people) to 6 to 8 months. There are quite a few things that can change this timeframe. Like your particular case, or the service center slowing down.

NoA2 to NVC: The guides say 2 weeks, but it's more like 4 weeks from my experience. *If it gets tagged for AP at NVC level it can be stuck there for awhile, but I rarely see this happen*

Once at the embassy it depends how prepared you were and when you can get the interview. Though exact times I'm not sure because my Fiancée and I are at this stage now.

Start checking out a few of our timelines to get a better idea, though I would look mainly at those pertaining to China. As for our case we started in January and believe she will have Visa in hand some time in September.

I did have one more question lol. Did any of you fill out the G-1145 form and attach that with the I-129F petition? I seems that this is only needed if you want to hear from them via an e-notification as to whether or not you were approved? I know it is free of charge, but is it worth filling out or skipping? The official uscis.gov site lists the current total cost for the I-129F as $340.00. So would I just be able to write a check or money order to mail along with the forms to one of the three Lockbox facilities? I would rather not mail cash. I appreciate all the help.

Yes it is worth filing your forms along with the G-1145. Also, do NOT mail cash.

There are clear directions available on the USCIS website. There are also directions available here, too, with step by step directions and indications of what to mail and where.

I would say that the entire process from start to finish should take around a year on the average - especially after seeing others' timelines here.

Best of luck and welcome to the club!!

Thanks a lot. Well, I won't be able to return to China in five years, which doesn't matter because I have no interest in visiting China ever again. While I was there, I did a lot of traveling and saw so much of the country in every direction. The countryside is beautiful, but as for the cities...they are so polluted and disgusting.

They also told me that I would never be able to work in China again. That is kind of lame because what if I obtained a degree and returned to work legally? Oh well, I have no desire to go back.anyway.

Why are you going to SCHOOL for life insurance sales? I work in life insurance. I read a book for 2 weeks, went to the Department of Insurance in my State, took my state exam, passed and am licensed in all 50 states. Doesn't make sense to me.

Your life insurance license might be effected by the deportation. That's pretty serious. Just saying.

Each state is a little different. If this person lives in California or Florida though, good luck! They are the WORST to try to get insurance licenses in. California wants to know everything down to if you've ever had a bounced check.

I actually wrote my entire experience down with the intention of creating a blog, but my sister and brother in law strongly don´t recommend I do so. They feel that it will make it much more difficult for me to find work in the future, since most companies check you out online nowadays. That is good advice and it was discouraging as well. I put a lot of time into writing it out as well. I also have written about other experiences, but they don´t think I should blog on anything negative and just stick to blogging out positive things.

As for it being a possible movie...well I just don´t think I was in the detention center long enough for it to be taken seriously. I was only there for 7 days. Now if I was in there for like 2 years...I would be serious about trying to turn this into a movie haha. Writing a book might be another way, but that would be quite a big project haha.

There is a reason these types of accusations are looked seriously upon by the Chinese government.
