[quote=ROGERINCA,248937]Hey, Steph congratulations !!! What city are you from here in the great CA !!?? What city is your fiancée from in the PRC ?? First, you really do not need a lawyer. Most individuals I know, who are going through the process, do not waste the money on an attorney. If you are reasonably educated and can read, write and comprehend government forms, you can do it yourself and save a wad of dough. There is a Chinese para-legal in Nanning, who can assist you with as much as an attorney can, for 25% of the cost. This aspect is important in that he can assist the Chinese partner with filling out his/her forms and the portions which must be in Chinese language. PM me if you want his contact info and usual pricing. I have been going through this process for some time now. My Lao Po lives in Guangzhou, and I live outside of Sacramento, but grew up in the L.A. area. Another web-site which has great tools and a wealth of info is Visa Journey.com Marrying in China, does [not] speed up the process !! Actually, the spousal (K-3) visas take a little longer than the fiancée (K-1) visas. I married my Lao Po in China because it was important to her and her family. Most go the K-1 route and marry early-on within the 90 period of arrival at the US Port of Entry. The fees (from start to finish) were significantly raised effective July 31st. The USCIS and USDOS are concerned about marriage fraud and if the relationship is one that is bonifide. The incidence of fraud is very high with marriages from certain countries; this is why the process is very intensive and now more expensive. It is good that you have visited him two times. Once is the minimum requirement of the US government agencies, however, multiple visits lend more credence to the relationship. Make sure you retain all of your phone records and e-mails for submission with your package. Also do not lose your plane tickets and other travel receipts. Go to both the VJ or the CFL on-line sites (free ones) and you can quickly come up to speed on the process. Best wishes !!! [/quote]
