[quote=GAFFER,410295]This could be complicated. A Chinese lady usually gets married in her home town (or where her hukou is?). She needs to check if she is able to marry in HK. A single person needs to provide a signed application form for legalization, an authenticated Single Status Certificate and its duplicate. Proof of identity with photo (such as valid passport) and its duplicate. If you are divorced or widowed you will need in addition an authenticated divorce Decree and its duplicate, or if a widower an authenticated Death Certificate and duplicate copy. All these will need to be translated into Chinese but this can be done in China. Your partner will need her ID card, hukou, divorce/death certificate if applicable and 3 photos of joint head and shoulders. 4.5 x 3.5cms. (For marriage books). Once married you then need to convince US immigration that the relationship and marriage is genuine (not a marriage of convenience). To do this you need to provide a history of the relationship, letter/email/chat history, photos of you both together, perhaps letters from friends who can vouch for you. You may also need to proove that you have the financial means to support her. This is a lengthy process and could take several months before your new wife is allowed to join you. PM me if you would like a link to a forum whose members have already completed or are in the process of completing this process. [/quote]
