[quote=ROGERINCA,243354]I do not like to advertise here, so I will send you a PM with some info on tickets. :) I know a Chinese travel agent in Southern California, in a predominant Chinese/American community, who buys blocks of tickets to China, as 98% of his business is with ethnic Chinese customers. I use him and I have referred dozens of others to him. No one has beat him yet, and his quotes (good for 72 hours) always include the tax and security fees, unlike some other ‘discount’ providers who give a low-ball price to lure you in, then you find out it does not include tax or fees, which can add $200.00 to some tickets !! Yes, Harbin is in a very far north and very cold portion of China. You are fortunate that you live in Michigan. Harbin is positioned just above the 45 degrees of latitude, and so is the Northern portion of Michigan. So this will not be such a shock to her body this coming winter !! :) If she were a Guangzhou girl, like my Lao Po, she would die going from Sub Tropical at 23.5 degrees latitude to your deep winter weather in Michigan. LOL Is there going to be a large/significant time gap between her getting the visa and coming to the US ?? If so, then wait for her to come to the US and travel with her. If not, then go to the interview and then wait the 2 to 3 days for the visa to issue and come home together. Also, remember, the K-1 visa is good for sixty days from time of issuance at Guangzhou, to arrival time at the USCIS POE, in the US. It will expire, if not utilized within the 60 time period. As to her working, she must first have the AOS, Adjustment of Status, completed before she is allowed to work. Usually this is about 60 to 90 days after the marriage date and you have filed these documents for AOS. Then she can get her SSN and can legally work. I will be returning again in mid-September, for my Lao Po’s birthday and for the Moon Festival Holiday on the 25th. I fly out of LAX, non-stop on China Southern Airlines, direct to my now second home of Guangzhou. Having grown up in LA and having been a police officer in the LA region for so many years, I have great comfort navigating the large terminals and flying out of LAX. Good Luck !!! [/quote]
