Questions from an American Fiancee

[RachelMarie 0]

Hi Everyone,

These past few days since receiving my Chinese fiance's interview appointment have been kind of stressful for the two of us, trying to figure out exactly what we have to write down on the forms and what all to bring to the interview, etc.

I'm concerned because I fear if we fill in the answer to a question wrongly on DS-157 or 156 he won't pass, and we've been SO anticipating our tentative wedding in the States!

For example, as soon as the wedding is over pretty much, we plan to get his status adjustment, so he can work... but can he check the box that says "Yes" for "Do you plan to work in the the US?" even though the K1 doesn't allow for working? He plans to work later on, after status adjustment.

The other question we're hung up on is, "How long do you intend to stay in the US?" ... we're thinking of putting something like "indefinitely after visa status adjustment" but is that okay?!

Also, he made a couple mistakes on the DS-156, and scratched them out, so we went to make new copies and found out the Consulate's paper size is very specific! Does this matter? Is it okay to make copies and use our own paper for the Guangzhou Consulate??? My fiance is worried that it's all ruined

I'm nervous because he's an Asian male marrying an American girl, and I'm worried they won't pass him for some odd reason. Anyone "foreign"girls out there get a Chinese fiance and passed?! Please help me with the above questions if you can!!

Also, I'm going to the Consulate with him, and I'm wondering if it's really worth it to attend ACH, and if so, how do I get an appointment? What goes on during the ACH?

Thanks so much!!!

On the "Do you plan to work"........Put no. The Visa is for him to come to USA for marriage. These forms are used for many types of Visas. K1 is for marriage. On the, "How long do you intend to stay in the US",,we put "Always".....since my Fiancee and I will live in the US............Best of Luck....Bob

Thanks, Bob.

My Mom's afraid if we check "no" they will think he has no other good reason to go to the States?

Also, what about our paper issue? Does anyone think using the copies are a problem?

Question 32 answer YES, WITH WORK AUTHORIZATION, EMPLOYER UNKNOWM

The other question we're hung up on is, "How long do you intend to stay in the US?" ... we're thinking of putting something like "indefinitely after visa status adjustment" but is that okay?!

Question 26 answer PERMANENTLY and Question 27 answer MARRIAGE AND RELOCATION TO THE USA

Also, he made a couple mistakes on the DS-156, and scratched them out, so we went to make new copies and found out the Consulate's paper size is very specific! Does this matter? Is it okay to make copies and use our own paper for the Guangzhou Consulate??? My fiance is worried that it's all ruined
