[quote=GRIZ326,244816]I just received a USCIS notice of action on my fiancee visa 30 days after filing the application. I am told that from this point it will take 6 to 9 months for the visa to be approved if everything goes smoothly. The process for bringing a child in with your fiancee differs based on whether you marry in China or marry in the USA. If you plan to marry your fiancee in China you are already too late. The relationship with the child must be established by the time the child is 18. However, if you bring your fiancee into the US on a fiancee visa, the relationship must be established before the child is 21. ...at least that is my layman's reading of the instructions. I do not believe "a letter of permission" will be adequate for the child to come live with you in America especially since the father has legal custody. You can call the USCIS for more information about this. Any Chinese document submitted to the USCIS must be translated into English. US Immigration policy is strict and takes a tremedously long time to complete. A lawyer will not make the process any faster, however, a lawyer might prevent mistakes that would will delay your application. You might consider using Roger Lin in Nanning. His website is: http://www.visaschina.com You might also consider visiting http://www.robsnanningsite.com/ which has a great deal of information about this subject.[/quote]
