 | Yes she went through an agency in Guangzhou that was closed down, I am not sure just when. The agency put her profile on chnlove, she was not directly involved with them, I can only assume that the agency paid chnlove a portion of what they charged my wife. |

| GUESTIGNIFIEMI | Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping. I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it. God will appreciate it. |

| GUEST65107 | Well I am glad I read this. I recently came back from China after visiting Beijing and Chengdu. I met a lady in Chengdu that is a woman I have always been looking for. We are talking about marriage and I am currently writing her every other day through CL. The questions have become many and recently I asked about her parents she lives with. The story is she lives with her parents and she helps them pay a mortgage and to meet their monthly expenses. This amounts to about 3500 Yuan a month. I will ask her about fees to CL. This relationship has changed a litlle after leaarning these facts and the money she is quoting me as her responsibility. |

| GUEST11135 | You should be a little cautious! A 3500 Ruan share in an apartment seems very high! There are a ton of scams going down now concerning marriage in china....the word is out that foreign men will send you cash, and the girls have come up with imaginative ways to scam people out of their money! |

| I just returned from visiting my wife in Urumqi. I asked her about her home and how much she is paying. She is paying about the same, 3250 yuan. This is more of a condo than an apartment, she is buying not renting. So depending on the house, that price may not be out of reason. Rob |

| Good news, the paperwork for my wife and daughters visas has started to move. It is looking good for them to be in the states sometime in June. We are still waiting for the interview date at the Guangzhou consulate. It has been a long year and a half, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Does anyone have any information or pointers about the interview? I will be making the trip to China to be with them during the interview, but I would like to hear from someone that has been through this. Maybe you could give me a heads up on what to expect. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob  |

| GUEST91055 | Not to mention I get the same admirer narrative from the same girl 5 months apart; one with white blouse photo, one with yellow blouse; same hello "you are the man I dreamt for, all my lifetime--are you my true prince?" kind of stuff identical except for date and photo. Look through your 300 profiles, you might find interesting things as well. Thomas |

| The June date has been pushed back. My lawyer cost me about 5 weeks. The day I returned from China he emailed me giving me a list of forms and documents that my wife needed to get and sign. And yes, he did know I was in China! The forms were in English, of course, so I had to try to translate them over the web cam. Then, as anyone that has tried to get documents in China knows, there was a big production to get them notarized. All in all, this mix up has set us back 5 to 6 weeks, so now I am hoping they will be here by the first of August. I paid the man up front, otherwise I would be on to another lawyer. But anyway, the documents should be in Guangzhou by now. So I am back waiting for an interview date. I am still looking for someone that can give me a heads up about the interview. I have been looking for information on the internet but, as usuall, a lot of what I am reading seems to be conflicting. |

| Thomas, As has been said many times here, there are a lot of scams out there. It is not just China, there are scams from all nationalities. You need to sort through them until you find what you want. You need to take your time, I emailed my wife for a year before I decided to go to China and meet her. I think most scams would fall apart in that amount of time. Just remember, there are good people and reputable companies out there. The first time they ask for money other than a membership fee should be a sign to run, or at least step back and take a second look at who your dealing with. Good luck. Rob |

| Hi Rob Your story about not being informed by your lawyer before traveling to China with documents you need to file later with USCIS has happen to many people I have helped. I have written an artical that covers hurtles US Citizens have experienced by not being prepared in advance by their attorney. This information is available to you at my site usvisatoolbox.com .( About the interview:) You can go to Guangshou with your spouse but you can't attend the interview, only your Chinese spouse and if there is a dependent child coming along can attend. This by far is the most critical time in the K-3 process. Your spouse will be ask many questions and must provide "Evidence of Proof of Relationship." Items----A photo album with pictures of the two of you together, also include any photos of your family members, mother, children etc with there names written at the bottom to remind you spouse. Include airline tickets, hotel reservations, receipts of any events or travel you did together. Include any correspondence- letters, emails, phone records and any documentation showing time spent together. Hope this can help and Good Luck Randy |
