We met in Shenzhen, went on a honeymoon, and got married in August 2009. Then we moved around China as I taught (high school physics and chemistry) at different schools. Yan trades stocks by computer. She and our son, Tutu, applied for tourist visas to go to the US and were rejected. We got retirement visas to live in Malaysia. (Sure a lot easier than getting visas to the US. LOL) We applied for, AND GOT, her and his green card. But we moved to Portugal and she had to give up her IR-1.Now, that I'm older and wiser(!) we want to move back to the US so I am applying AGAIN for her IR-1..So I've done this before, but it sure escapes me. The one thing I remember about the last time was calling USCIS with a problem. They put me on hold and told me the wait time was 27,000,000 minutes! She was listening in so she knows I wasn't lying. (I hope it goes faster this time.) We live on a catamaran which I am taking to the USVI to use as our residence. Or we'll buy a house there.
