Haha no. I 100% forgot that I made this thread a year ago so was attempting to make a new thread asking how my wife and I could bring my wife's father to America. I didn't want to bother going into detail about his wife dying / why my wife was only trying to bring her father over so I just referred to her father as "her parents". After I created the thread, the mods merged it with this thread that I made a year ago (and had forgotten about). I can't believe it's already been a year since his wife died...
My wife and I have a 3 and a half year old daughter that my wife's dad hasn't seen for almost 2 years now. If we knew restrictions would end soon, we'd just wait it out but, at the rate things are going, it could be years before things get back to normal. My wife feels horrible because her father is missing his only granddaughter growing up and is stuck in China all alone. We would go over there but the quarantining process over there is completely insane. They make you quarantine in a hotel for 2 weeks and, after that, they lock you in your apartment for another 2 weeks. I could actually deal with that but by far the worst part is that, EVERYDAY you're in quarantine, the workers there will shove a tube into your nasal cavity AND a tube up your butt. I couldn't even imaging personally going through that everyday much less watching my 3 year old go through it.
Another thing we were thinking about is getting my wife pregnant which might allow my wife's father to be brought over on an emergency visa (correct?).
