Thanks to you all who answered my questions. Great group of people. 

No they won't be working and are over 68 years old. So as permanent residents they can't qualify for any government medical help I guess. So I will have to buy insurance for them I take it? Thanks for all the help from all of you. This is a daunting task I see. My wife makes 50k a year will that be enough support?

Well hopefully get Medicare or something...haven't gotten that far. Just trying yo get all info first...then see what I have to do. Thanks for the info.

Thanks...also what does she need to make in salary per year to do this. She owns our house. Not much more assets. Thank you.

My wife is a new citizen as of 2 weeks ago.

Am seeking how to move my wife's chinese parents to America. Requirements as how much do I have to make to be their support and forms and basically how to get it done without a lawyer. Thanks to all who can give me a point of view.

My wife's Chinese nephew has a 10 yr visa from 2016 till 2026. He wants to come now to visit. Does he have to update it or do anything before he can book a flight and visit.  Thank you.

Ok my wife is Chinese and not a citizen and just wondering what happens when the 10 year period is up from when she set foot here to live in America with me. Does she reapply. Am I going to still be responsible for her for another 10 years. Just looking for info on what happens when it comes time. She has one and a half yrs left to the 10 years is up. Thanks to anyone who can give me some info.

I am a us citizen and want to take my daughter to china...i live in Ohio and want to apply for a visa for tourism for her...it says on the Chinese visa website you cant mail the application in...so other than taking her to new York how can I get the visa..she is 4 and is an American citizen also. Thank you.

after my wife is in the states from china on a permanent residence visa if we divorce will i still have to support her after the ten years is up...or what happens when she reaches the ten year mark. What is the process after the ten years.

Even though my wife is a permanent resident we cant file...how come?

How do I apply to get my Chinese inlaws a permanent resident visa...my wife is Chinese so we want her older parents to move here...any help is great.

File a restraining order and get the hell out.

maybe you guys can help...my in laws got a 10 yr visa and are from Shenzhen China and are coming in March...what are the new rules about this visa..can you bounce out of the states for a week and come back in..they are retired...or would it be better to apply for a extention...they were here in 2013 march to march and want to visit again to do the things we could get to do..im just seeking info on the way this visa works...thanks...Dan

I am filing because we want to see more of America and the things that make this country so great...anyways to the one who helped me thank you very much.

I live in ohio and am filing an extention for my sister in law to stay longer in America and she is from china...im wondering where to send it..when I filed for my in laws it was the wrong address and i had to resend it..dont want that to happen with my sis in law...can anyone tell me where it needs to go...i have seen two different cities to send it to..any help is welcomed...Hoopy

Thank you so much marine...people like you are a great help!!!

Well it seemed she was being a bit not nice when i said i wanted an extension...and she has only been here a month...I guess I will check out her passport and see...thanks to all...I did not know they went electronic now...Have a great day ya'll...hoopy

Well I know they are not for living here...we are traveling the states enjoying the great America I want to show her...and we know it will take longer than 5 months to do what I want to do...and I was told before about my parent in laws...and I got them an extension for 6 months last yeaar...so dont rain on peoples party if you dont know how to properly file an extension and get one...anyways...thanks for the info but try to be a bit nocer to the next person you talk to...!

My sister in law from china is visiting us till sept. 2014 and when she arrived she was not given a I94...how can we get this for her as we will want to appy for an extension when Sept. comes and get her to stay longer...the only thing Im wondering is why they didnt give her one when she arrived in Chicago and what do I do now to get her one or will I need one to get her ana extension..any help is welcomed...Thanks...Hoopy

well your gonna have those that do it by the book and those who dont...I did it all by the book and it still took me a yr and half to get my wife here and after I got my congressman involved. The process for any immigration or just for tourism is a pain and all I know is to be honest and use every avenue you can to get the job done.

Well the reason i was pissed is cause Boiler seemed like a smart azz and said well let us know how that works for ya...seemed like he was being a azz...but no they dont plan on comin back to the states and this will be the only time they will come so its all good...So I will close this thread and say thanks to all who helped and have a wonderful year and happy holidays...Hoop

Well just to let those know who said it wouldnt be possible for my in-laws to get an extention on their visa to stay in the states longer ...we just got notice that they were approved and can extend their stay...I must have had some good luck or wrote one heck of a letter for them to get it...and the guy who said good luck with that and let us know how it works out....SEEEEE....I got the extention and you and your smart azz comments didnt effect my pursuit to achieve this...Im kinda happy now as they can stay longer and to know the ones on Visa Journey who helped me thru all this are the best people on this site...to you haters and non beilievers who do nothing but give us trying to do things like this headaches with your stupid comments you all can suckit...Thanks again to all the good people on this site and I am in debt to your wisdom.....Have a great year all....Hoopy

Well thank you all for your time and answers to my questions.

Ok this is the rundown..Mom and dad here from China with a one yr tourist visa till Feb 2014...I94 exp Sept 18...they have been here 4 months....we want them to stay longer...till their visa exp in Feb...what would be our best course to follow here...any help is welcomed. And the I539 does not state in the directions to use 2 forms and pay 2 fee's.....and on the i539 there are sections for adding more applicants too...Im just confused and the wife is about to kill me....cant get a answer from the USCIS either...just a machine...So anyone who has done this Id like to hear from ya...Dan and Xiangxiang in Ohio
