GUEST16864 I am a California man seeking the straight shot about utilizing chnlove as the agency to meet and marry a chinese bride . . . I have read some of the posts. Is there any way to have the lady seek her own visa, or go through another country, where I can meet up, marry her (outside USA) and then take her home to the USA?
What kind of costs/headaches can I expect? And, mostly important: Are Chinese brides (37yrs) typically sincere and loyal?

GUEST39245 I am sorry to tell you that you will have serious problems obtaining a UK visa. Apply for a Visitor's Visa, and you will probably be turned down on suspicion that she is looking to gain access to UK and disappear. If you go for a settlement Visa, like if you have arranged a UK wedding and have all the visa requirements in place, it seems to me that even after them being most intrusive into our private lives, they still drum up some half-baked excuse - like MY grown-up children? Her BROTHER'S financial status? I think they have been instructed to deny access to UK. Sorry - I am at the final appeal stage myself, and I do not know what to do next!

GUEST11669 My friend a chinese national and college teacher would like to come and work in the United states as a teacher to teach high school level math/chinese , any ideas in what she would have to do?
Would the chinese government allowed her to apply for a visa? many people tell me that they will not.

Guest11669, the first thing you should do is try to find a school in the U.S. that is prepared to offer your friend a teaching job.

Once you have that accomplished, you stand a good chance of obtaining a work visa for your friend to come to the U.S.

The Chinese government would not be involved in this.

Guest 16864 (original message). You sound like you are online shopping for a wife, who you will see as a possession of yours to do what you like with. Maybe you need to learn what "marriage" is before trying it, as by what you have written, you clearly have no idea. Let me tell you now, you are very unlikely to find a loyal and sincere wife on a website dating agency. They will all use you because they think it is their door to a better standard of living. However, they will be sorely disappointed, and then run a mile. If you want my advice - learn what marriage is, then find someone you love, and who loves you. Only then get married if you understand what you are doing.

GUEST13852 To Guest39245, I can relate to your experience. I am UK citizen, currently living in Shanghai for 3 years. I have been with my Chinese girlfriend for the last year or so and we live together in downtown Shanghai. I wanted to take her back to UK for xmas just gone to meet my family and our first Visitor Visa application was turned down, apparently because they thought she just wanted access to the UK to claim benefits (even though I had to disclose my salary of £120k, which while not rich is still more than adequate not to require state handouts!) We re-applied with literally reams of paperwork to support the application, including evidence of her employment for last 4 years, evidence of her savings (I transferred RMB50k into a savings account in her name just so the authorities could see she had her own means!). Fortunately, we got the visitor visa and had the best xmas and new year with my family ever. I agree with your comment that the uk entry officers have probably been instructed by their bosses to reduce the number of visas granted - but you can probably get there if you keep trying!

GUESTJUDOKA I have read all posts and just want to make sure of some things. First, here is my situation. I want to marry my Chinese g/f but I am now living in the US and she is in China.

1. Will I be able to marry her while in China on a tourist visa?

2. After marriage why does it take 10 to 12 months from the time of filing for the visas (for wife to go to the US)? I would want my wife to be with me right away. I have known her for over 5 years.

3. Someone mentioned the process of marrying a chinese woman and getting her to the US legally can cost about $10,000. Is this accurate? Why so expensive?

4. Would it be easier and simpler to have her come to the US on a tourist visa (She applied and got one before) and marry her here?

Thanks guys.
