    Being a Poll Worker as a LPR

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    I'm in CA and I discovered you can help out at the polls while being a LPR! So I've done my training today (OMG so much stuff to learn) and I'll find out soon where I'll be on June 7th! It'll be cool to see what the election process is like before actually getting to vote in a few years. Also, we've been warned this election will probably be a busy one! Haha!

    Anyone else been a poll worker?

    Interesting AOS interview!

    in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    My husband and I had our interview today in Santa Clara and it all seems good. The IO told us he has to do some system checks but that it looks good.

    What was interesting is that our IO was deaf. He had a translator with him who translated his questions and our answers.

    I feel sorry for his translator as m husband and I rarely speak in fully formed, complete sentences! Haha! She did a great job and she even translated stuff that we said extra, so that he got a full picture of us. He was very friendly and joked with us about everything. He asked us about our relationship in HK and here, asked about our families. He was the first IO to ask whether I had Dual Citizenship with South Africa since I was born there (I don't, though I could probably get it, just not super bothered to do it!)

    My husband works for Netflix and every IO I've had has asked so many questions about Netflix, I always get the impression they are like "Ooo, cool!". Super funny, he asked my husband about what is up with Netflix and Chill! Haha, the translator was like "whaaaa....!" before she translated it.

    So I actually had a great time chatting to our IO and having the translator was no bother at all, I actually ended up just looking at him instead of her, since I assumed that he wanted to see my reaction to what he was asking.

    Anyone else have an interesting AOS interview?

    k1 visa making appointment and visa fee confirmation issue

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    I had a problem where I couldn't even get to that bloody payment page. My Immigration Lawyer basically had to phone the embassy and they gave her the page address to manually type in.

    However, then I had the same problem as you and I was given the wrong fee amount. Once again the lawyer phoned the embassy and they said I could just pay the remainder at the interview. That was perfectly fine on the day. I'm surprised they never even gave you that option.

    Police Records from China

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    I just did this fo Jinan and i'm in HK. I then also helped my friend do one for Jinan as well and she is in London.

    You really need to find someone from the city to do it for you. Maybe offer to pay someone from your old job. A police check costs nothing.

    So you need to prepare
    • a copy of your passport, visa pages, resident permit pages, ID page.
    • You also need the letter from your employer/school stating you were a good, well behaved person. The letter must be in Chinese and must have the address of the apartment where you lived on it. It also needs the company chop to make it all official.
    • Next you need an Authorization letter to give to the police. Put your fingerprint on it in red ink. Or your chop if you have one. You need to get the name in Chinese and the ID number of the Chinese citizen who is going to go to the Police Station for you and put it on there.
    • The person who goes for you needs to add a copy of their ID.

    The take it to the local PSB for where you lived.

    Here is mine post-188252-0-18437000-1424092005_thumb.jpg attached, this helped my friend get hers. They wouldn't issue one until they saw they had already done one before.

    Then you need to have it taken to a notary office. They need another authorisation letter too. Then they take it for 5 days and translate and notarize it. This costs around 400 ish RMB. Hope this helps.
