Hi everyone. Thanks for reading. I'm an American citizen who lives and works in China. I married a Chinese citizen here a little more than one year ago. I now want to start the process for her visa so we can live in the USA together. I need a lot of help. I assume that the k-3 visa is the way to go, is that right ??? My main problem is that for my last job in USA, I did not make enough money to sponser my wife. So I need a family member to be the main sponser. What exactly does that family member need to do ? Do they need to show there yearly salary ?

As you can see, I really don't even know how to begin, so any help, ideas, or suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

hi but i would say start with this if you have been in china for a year you should be able to file directly with consulate http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...om&page=dcf

hope this help some there are more vj ers that will help

Yes, married and living abroad with an official resident status in the current country would probably qualify you to file for a CR1, not K3 visa. It is faster and the CR1 allows your spouse to enter the USA with a stamp in the passport that substitutes for the two-year green card they'll receive in the mail shortly. If your visa interview occurs after your second wedding anniversary, the visa is IR1 instead of CR1 and the green card is good for 10 years or is not "conditional". Visa before but US entry after the two-year anniversary results in the same 10 year card, even though the visa is CR1.

The Guides are the place to start. You'll also want to check out http://www.candleforlove.com where they deal with the process exclusively for China.
