Oh - the long form is Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

HKSAR is sufficient, though.

Hong Kong is a part of China but it's a "special administrative region" which means it has its own unique set of rules and governing body.

There are several of these, but Hong Kong especially is different. In fact, mainland Chinese need a "visa" to visit Hong Kong, even though it's the same country.

Macau, Shenzhen, and part of Shanghai are also SARs but they operate under different rules.

Anyway, Darnell answered your specific questions already.

It works out well. One more question on G325a form.

Looks like I only have to provide 3:

2 G325As from me - since I am submitting 2 I-130s.

1 G325A from my wife

since my stepson, who is under 18, does not require one
