Who else is waiting for P3 from Guangzhou?

Question:

Once my fiancee arrives in the USA and we are married, will she be able to travel to Europe and Mexico?

Or does she need to wait till she gets her green card?

Question:

Two separate issues. In order to leave the US and re-enter, she will need advanced parole or a green card regardless of country. Entering Europe, Mexico and Canada without a green card will be done the same as any Chinese Citizen, so for the most part, she would need a visa. (if not al) With a green card, she would not need a visa for those countries.

I repeat though, that to re-enter the USA, she must have either AP or the Green Card.

Thanks again for all your help. I did a little research on what you mentioned about "advance parole".

Maybe we should just travel in the US only for the next couple of years.

I am happy to find out today when I called DOS that our P3 was sent out on Jan 3rd.

But my fiancee informed me that she had not received it yet. Hope it will arrive in the next day or two.

My fiancee can not find a place in Guangzhou that will allows her to type in the information and print

the DS-230 and OF-169 for the package 3.

Anyone's fiancee is or was in Guangzhou know of any place? suggestions? Can the forms be hand printed instead?

My fiancee does not have a computer at home.

Of course they can be hand printed.

Maybe I didn't phrased my question clearly. I did read the instruction on the form that it can be hand printed.

I am just worried. I don't want to give the consulate any reasons to somehow deny or delay our application.

Well, since it seems things that can easily be done in the US isn't so within China. I will have my fiancee hand print it.

Thanks again for your quick response.

I read on some other forum that said one should submit with the I-134, the tax return of the most current year and that is should be notarized.

I had already sent the last three years of my tax transcript from the IRS to my fiancee in China. They are not notarized. Is that sufficient?

This is on the form I-134

Supporting evidence.

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions where you have deposits, identifying the following details regarding your account:

1. Date account opened;

2. Total amount deposited for the past year;

3. Present balance

I went to my Bank, JP Morgan Chase and the representative told me that they are unable to provide the total amount deposited for the past year. What should I do?

Tax transcripts don't need notarizing. There's nothing to notarize about them. No signature.

You sign the I-134 in front of a Notary who serves as witness and applies their official stamp. Your bank or insurance agent probably offers free Notary services.

I have Chase also. What I did was just print my last 12 statements and sent the pages which show the deposits for that month. Chase did send me a form with the date it was opened, my current balance, and my average monthly balance. I hope it will be sufficient. We are waiting for the P3 at the moment

So what is up with this so called P3 wait? The US people claim China customs takes 60-90 days. But when I send a package to China, it gets through customs quickly. Now my wife sees these horror stories about the Guangzhou wait, and she is not happy:

The Consulate uses the DHL customs warehouse for storage. They simply don't accept packages until they are ready to process them.

We recently received our Packet 4. Our interview is on March 4.

On form GIV-24, it asks for the US citizen's US entry date and type of visa.

I am the US citizen. I came to the US in 1978. My dad who was a permanent resident petitioned to have my mom and myself who was 7 years old to come to the US. My dad does not know what type of visa we came to the US with.

I know this type of visa is called k-3 and K-4 (spouse and child under 18).

What was it called 29 years ago???? What should my fiancee write on that question on form GIV-24?

Any information would be appreciated.

TIA!
