My Q2 visa was issued in I believe 2015 so this information is a little old but it is a Q2 10 - Year Multi-entry.  You will need a letter of invitation from a relative of your wife's living in China. I would apply for the Q2 but Ryan's experience doesn't particularly surprise me. I also lived in China for two years and at the time was applying with my US citizens daughter .  My wife remains a Chinese citizen green card holder. Given you have never been to China, that might be a factor.

So apply for the Q2 and see what they do?  

I submitted it after close of business on the 12th so really two days but likely this was all processed electronically and no actual person even looked at it.  
 
Like I said almost too fast but better than the alternative.
 
To be clear this was online.

We went through the ROC process in 2013 but my wife was not on the mortgage on the house we bought after we were married.  She was on the deed.
 
What I have found was when you have a new(er) SSN, it complicates most financing for homes, cars, etc.  No car loan we have taken out in the last 10 years has she been on the note even though her income is now a significant part of our family income.
 
Just refinanced last year and she is now officially on the mortgage after 10 years of marriage.

I could not believe how easy it was to register to vote in Arizona until my spouse went to do her license exam.  She had to read very carefully to not mistakenly check the box to register to vote on the driver license application.  They really should put an asterics in bold letters to not check the box if you are not a US Citizen.  I am sure that other people have mistakenly checked the box. 

Correct me here if I am wrong but either the K-1 or CR-1 Visa is only good for a maximum of 6 months once issued. (In many cases less due to medical/police clearances). And as others have said how long either a K-1 or CR-1 would take given the present situation is unclear.  The disadvantage to the K-1 is depending on when it is actually issued the OP would be forced to move to the US within six months and have to stay until at least AP is granted.  In my wife and my case, my expat assignment was ending after the expiration of her visa.  What we did was go to Hawaii for a week where she 'immigrated' and then we returned to China to finish my assignment.  We returned permanently less than six months later which is when she considers she 'moved' to the US.   Not everyone would be able to afford multiple flights but the OP could do something similar giving them more flexibility.

The EO is neither of these things. Whether you agree or disagree with it -- in my opinion, it is entirely just "rea meat" for his base because it is too narrowly focused. If it was about protecting jobs, why so many exceptions. Secondly, "most" immigrants migrate to US more healthier than most Americans. Why? Because of all the vaccinations (there are millions of anti-vax citizens), medical exams, and are bared from being awarded a visa if posses many types of diseases and sickness that plague many Americans. So those two arguments are warrant less.

This must be SO anxious for you then.  I'm sorry you're in that point of the process.  I suspect the passport is still at the embassy... If DHL had it it would be on it's way to you.  I don't know if there is a way for you to contact them...I assume that there is no one at the embassy right now?  Maybe try and get a call into DOS somehow to ask the question?  My understanding of the validity is that the visa is issued with the expiry date which matches the validity date of your Medical Exam - Which I'm also lead to believe is 6 months from the medical exam.
 
Good luck!

Just use E-Passport-Photo. It's free. You upload your own digital photo, size it, and in return you get a 4x6-sized jpeg file containing four passport-sized photos you can take to CVS/Walgreens ... etc to print for twenty cents.

Many many posts removed. The Op is looking for legal options not judgement of their spouse. Keep that in mind when posting.

One thing to keep in mind is that 10 years is the amount of time necessary to be married to be able to collect on his social security retirement even if you subsequently divorce (and not remarry) Also, the amount of support he would owe you is also based upon length of marriage. I am not telling you what to do but you likely will not want to proceed with a divorce filing until after your tenth anniversary. You need to do what is right for your child and yourself but something to consider.
Good Luck

And the online green card renewal doesn'the work well either, sounds like you should renew that paper based as well.

I am sure the license itself is valid, it is possible the documentation she used to obtain it was false or invalid but once you have one, it historically has been easy to renew. Like I said above, these cases are the argument for the REAL ID Act, the main argument against is it is better that undocumented immigrants have a valid license within the system including having insurance rather than driving completely undocumented.
Here is a paragraph from a famous New York Time Magazine Story about an award winning but undocumented immigrant who worked for the Washington Post.

Actually, New York is one of four states that soon your driver's license will not be accepted to fly domestically for this very reason, they don't necessarily check legal status before issuing.
This is changing in New York so she might have an issue in the future without gaining LPR status.

Once you become a green card holder (permanent resident) you like a US citizen will have to pay tax on your wroldwide income. If you choose to rent the house you will be taxed on the rental income but will also be able to deduct expense as if the house was in the US. If you do rent it, I would recommend you consult a tax advisor to understand the law. As when you go to sell it after you are permanent resident it may become a taxable event but again consult a tax advisor.
If yo choose to let relatives live there for free or keep it strictly as a vacation home, there likely will be no year to year tax consequences but there may be when you sell.

You are in the US?

If she has a green card, then that means she's not a US citizen. Only US citizens can get a US passport.
You don't even need a passport for domestic flights. Any sort of government issued ID will work. She can just take along her green card as proof of ID.

As others have said, investigate DCF in China, you likely are eligible, that is a CR-1, I am guessing you mean a K3 and not a K2 but the K3 is typically no longer needed as a CR-1 is as fast even when filing in the US. DCF starting on Beijing or Guangzhou depending on where you live in China will be much faster.
As for domicile, once you get to the interview stage, you will need to at least show intent to establish domicile in the US. You can use your Chinese address and where it asks for Intended US address, you can use a relative or friends (with their permission of course)
You need the divorce records, you can get from the court where they were filed. A lawyer or a friend should be able to get these for you. You will have to investigate what the court requires to release to a friend.
If your wife can not get a passport until Sept 2016, you are not going to be able to apply to then. What is the issue?
As for the affidavit of support, you will need a co-sponsor if you can not show US based income. I wouldn't necessarily count on the consulate accepting proof of assets in lieu of income.
Establishing residence and proof of income in the US is one method but with a co-sponsor and a relative/friends address it is not absolutely necessary.

Hi,
You are completely paranoid. Having surgery has nothing to do with immigration.

Yes you can apply for citizenship 90 days before the 3rd anniversary of your green card date. This is 90 days before Sept 9, 2016.
You likely will have your 10 year green card before then but occasionally it will overlap and filing for citizenship tends to speed along the ROC approval.

I think I am going to recommend the same thing as Darnell :-)
As long as you are confident that she can continue to receive all mail at her parents' address, there is no compelling reason to change the address with USCIS. Once you have immigrated, you can then update USCIS with the new address.
However, if she put in a mail forwarding to USPS from her parent's address to her new address, this is likely to cause issues as the correspondence from USCIS tends to have "Do Not Forward" and could be returned to USCIS.
So she should cancel any mail forwarding with USCIS, if she can't, then you are going to need to figure out how to change your address with USCIS.
Hopefully, this is clear.

It sounds like you are referring to "opt-in" electronic filing which there are a couple threads on here that walk you though the process. The post above referring to NVC to Consulate is the same thing.I believe. However, that was before CGI Stanley was fully operational so it may no longer be valid. This process changes all the time. The best advice to your friend is start building evidence and once he is ready come here with questions.

Generally, they don't keep the passport until they are ready to issue visa so they won't keep the passport while you are going through AP. You will get a notice that you are approved. Often you may have to redo the medical (good for six months) and sometimes the police report (good for 12 months) beofre you send the passport in.
If you are CCP, they will generally want a Resume and a Statement of CCP membership that should reflect you are a member for employment purposes (or whatever purpose you joined.) Most people overcome this. I have never actually heard of anyone not overcoming CCP AP though the more prominent member you are, the harder (and longer) it will take. A couple I know, the wife was a director for a State Sponsored Tobacco Company and her AP took three times as long as my wife when we interviewed on the same day.
The AP is an extra background check that takes place in DC. My wife took 3 months, the director's above took close to 9 months. This was in 2011. In more recent years 6-9 months for typical cases like my wife's seems more common.
The only advice I have is don't try and lie and deny membership. That can lead to a permanent ban.
