[quote=ROGERINCA,235913]I live in California and I married my Lao Po this past December in Guangzhou. The process is really straight forward, just some steps to go through and a few bucks. First, there is no longer any requirement for a blood test or any medical tests. NONE !! Go to the Chinese Consulate at San Francisco web-page, and look up the details under the visa link on the page. Even though each Consulate in the US has a web-page, the SF Consulate page is the most detailed and user friendly. Download and fill out the two forms, then have the declaration of single status form notarized and have it certified by your WA Secretary of State office. Mail with the fees (Certified Check) to the Consulate that serves your region/state. I have not checked since December, but I think WA is also covered by the SF office ?? They had my certificate back to me in four days. My wife resides in Guangzhou, so we went to the marriage office in the downtown area and filed all the paperwork, had the docs translated there from English to Chinese (300 RMB) and then completed everything and were married in about two hours. There were additional fees of about 200-300 RMB. Previously, one had to have the docs translated eleswhere and this took as long at a week or so. In GZ anyway, they will now do it in about one hour. Hope this helps.[/quote]
