We had the letter for AOS but with ROC we didn't get a letter, just a text saying it was approved and then the new green card in the mail.

With my wife we went to the Chinese consulate and had a name change addendum added to her passport and booked with her green card name we've had no troubles with it.

Had a text on an update and my wife's card is under production as of today!

Alright, thanks. I was hoping it was something like that. It's just a little worrisome to get notification when you think it's all done with.

My wife received her green card already and we got this status update today. What does this mean exactly?

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On November 25, 2013, we received your correspondence for your I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS . You will receive a notice in the mail when further action is taken on this case. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

My wife took my last name, she has a Chinese first name and a German last name now.

What should I do about not putting school on her list of places lived on the G-325a? we just went by what my uncle had said about school not being a permanent residence, i'm sure they didn't realize anything about a hukou and she didnt think of that until now when her certificate for unmarried is from wuxi and not xuyi her hometown. should we do another G325a and bring to interview or mail in? or just not put school again on her ds230, we have listed she attended the school but didn't list it as residence because she considers her home the permanent residence. Or put school on there and put a letter stating she didn't consider school her residence and put it this time because she had brought her hukou there?

Sorry just keep thinking of many options but not sure what would be best

no, it wouldn't cause problems.

All i'm saying is that for determining residency in china, hukou is the thing to go by.

OK she's been home over six months without returning and wont return to school but hukou has been there so it seems that would have conflict with home residence. Maybe she needs to write a note about her forgotten hukou.

For China, it's definitely where her hukou is, it will be her residence. If understand correctly, when Chinese students go to college, they usually move their hukou to the city where the college is at, so her residence would be her college.

So it will cause problems she forgot her hukou in her school city months ago she's been back home for over six months her hukou was left there until last week.

Thanks. We understood it as her home is permanent residence and school was just class. All her mail still went home nothing to school. From what people in immigration services in the US said is just put home address school is more secondary so that's how we did the i129f. I just dont know how Guangzhou wants it.

for my wife's application, we put all the places she lived at on that form, including the time she spent at university dorms.

So she should put the 5 months in school then time home then other 5 months in school then time home and so on?

My fiancee isn't sure what to put on question 30 places lived. She has lived at home in Xuyi since born but when she was in college she stayed in the dorms there, in another Wuxi. She always came home on any holiday and breaks. so it wasn't a permanent residence. When filing for the i129f i asked my uncle that works in homeland security and he asked a friend he said don't put her school address, Which makes sense, but if we put Wuxi on her ds230 it will show up different than her petition. The confusion here is that she brought her hukou to the school and left it there for the years she had atteneded, and accidentaly left when moved back home meaning her unmarried certificate has came from there as well. Can she put lived at home Xuyi from birthdate (mm-yyyy) and then on the second line put Wuxi (only during school sessions) and put the dates she attended that school? Should she write a letter stating why her unmarried certificate shows wuxi because hukou was left? and should she get another unmarried certificate for the week her hukou has been back in her hometown?

On her forms asking where she's lived past 10 years does she list school? She never stayed there 6 months exactly but did leave hukou there. My uncle in homeland security told me not to put it on her petition because its more of a secondary address should we keep it the same?

She got everything from her hukou except the unmarried certificate she has to go back to Wuxi for it and she called Huai'an notary they do the translations. Thanks for all your help!

ya, in the white book link I posted - there's some chinese characters about notarial documents.

OK I told her thats what it was I just confused her saying the words white book and she told people on phone white book instead. Well that clears that up!

hey - if Xuyi office can't do the birth certificate in chinese, then she needs to find out (from them) where it's obtainable.

I will let her know all this tonight. She said they're closed til Monday so we'll see what happens then. Thanks for the help!

Also is there Chinese for white book?

http://www.jiangsu.net/city/city.php?name=xuyi#Administration_Jurisdiction

Huai'an is the administrative city, Xuyi is the 'county' .

I dunno, maybe she needs to reach out to 'province' level for the notarial translation?

...Studying more - she can probably get the translation done in the big city of Huai’an City...

Alright I'll let her know. She's only been to the Xuyi offices should she try Huai'an office for hukou too? She said that last time she went without book to xuyi hukou they said even if had it they can't give her certificates. She's going to go and try again anyway Monday with hukou in hand.

no no no.

IN HER DISTRICT, there's a huge translation office.

Sure, not in her small town, but IN HER DISTRICT, no worries.

She'll have to scout a bit, find it.

400 RMB, maybe, but 400 USD? no, la.

Alright thanks. Sorry she's a little clueless about finding all this. So hukou can give certificates then find her districts notary to translate?

It was a company in Beijing and she said it converted to $400 USD they said doing it for USA visa will cost more.

Thanks both of you. Another city's notary can do the translations right? Her town is small and doesn't do translations. She saw a company that does it by emailing scanned pages from her hukou that has experience with embassies but its $400 is that a normal price?

Should she get multiple copies of birth certificate translated? I've seen some suggest have three; one for interview, one for AOS and one for things like bank account and ID.

Have a longish read, ignore the bickering, there's gold in there..

white books - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/228853-notarial-birth-certificate/

the bits in chinese, copy/paste to yer lass in an email.

Thanks so much. If she has anymore problems with hukou I may post back here. Hopefully it all goes well now.

is she in her hukuo city now?

if so, another member of her family, who's got her listed in their hukuo,

can get it done.

Sounds to me, without HER book, the registry office has been ignoring her.

Alright thank you. She's in her hukou city now. I'll let her know in the morning and see if her mom or dad can get it. If not she can try again when her book is back. Also where can she get her white book? And would white book have the police certificate and unmarried certificate or should she go elsewhere to get those?

Is this her only hukuo city, ever?

Did she transfer hukuo from one city to another?

what is her current hukuo city, and if there was a prior one, what was it, also ?

Her hukou was in her hometown in Xuyi, Huai'an. She took it to Wuxi for school but she moved back home in July she had left it there and its being sent back to Xuyi by today or tomorrow.
