US Immigration from China

A Chinese citizen is scheduled to take her U.S. citizenship oath in the near future, but we have some questions about using documents. If at all possible, she'd like to retain her Chinese passport. I have friends that have been able to keep their Chinese passports for decades, by simply never telling China that they are a U.S. Citizen. Is this still possible?

Should she purchase round-trip tickets under her U.S. passport, or get two separate one-way tickets (ie. us->china with Chinese passport, and china->us with US passport)?

We received approval of our documentation on March 14 from the NVC. How long might it be before we get notice of the interview in Guangzhou, China? And when you get the notice of the interview, how long is it typically before the actual appointment. I would assume at least a month. It is my understanding that they arbitrarily assign an appointment time to you. Is that true?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Dear all,

While filing I-864 to NVC, I realized there are actually 4 types of Tax Transcript availiable in IRS.gov.

Should I use the first option " Return Transcript" ?

Also, since we all just filed the tax for 2022, seems that 2022 is still "missing" .... is it OK with NVC?

Many thanks to all!

Question: I've lived in USA for 5 years and went back to my country due to Covid....Except police record from China, do I also need a US police record for interview??? It's confusing because I'm applying a US visa, so they should have checked my background for this.......my understanding of police record is from a third country, not from the country you are going to live in. Any advice?

Hello,

I am living in China and was assigned an IR1 interview on Feb 22 at the Guangzhou consulate but my wife was unable to make the interview. We have been trying for the past 6 weeks to reschedule our interview through USTravelDocs but it had been saying "There are currently no appointments available." I have read that this is normal but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this and how long did it take you to get the next interview? Does anyone know if there a certain time that the interview schedule is updated so there is a certain time of day that I should be trying to schedule an interview? Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks
