After 10 years in the middle kingdom, we've decide to un-triangulate ourselves and go do something entirely different...
March 2001 We meet (in China)
July 2002 We marry rather unexpectedly (in Turkey)
April 2003 We return to China (after all, it is the center)
March 2012 3 children later, we are rather unexpectedly still married (and still in China)
I-130 filed in Beijing: March 22, 2012
I-130 approved: April 26, 2012 (got the letter in the mail mid-May)
Packet 3 received: May 18, 2012 by EMS
currently wading through the I-864 and I-864A....
Much later: physical exam delayed and rescheduled due to potential TB findings; later resolved (no TB! yeah!)
Interview at Guangzhou on September 20, 2012: IR-1 visa approved, hooray!
Point of entry Seattle, WA, November 11, 2012
Now needing a re-entry permit to go to a better paying (though temporary) job back in Shanghai...
