Thanks for the advice, guys.

My income is more than enough, so I think that I'll skip the I-134 investment question, and simply have my banks prepare account statements.

I appreciate the input!

Hello everyone.

Thank you all, for the quick replies to my last question, regarding Chinese Birth Certificates. We have that all taken care of.

My next uncertainty is with the Form I-134, Item 7: "I have stocks and bonds with the following market value..."

Do IRA's and 401k investments qualify as sources for this item? I know that Retirement Funds are made up from stocks and bonds, but they are a different kind of instrument.

Logic tells me that the answer is yes but, I defer to the Forum Experts.

Thank you, everyone, for your replies and advice.

After visiting the Gong Zheng Chu (they were surprisingly helpful!), the only extra documentation required for the Birth Certificate was, her parents' Marriage Certificate. Why this was required, I don't know.

Fortunately, my fiances' hometown is only about 40 miles away from her current residence, and her parents were able to easily obtain a new Marriage Book. They have been married for more than 50 years, and their original papers were long lost.

So, everything seems to be falling into place, with the wonderful support of Rachel's entire family. The P3 is on its way to Guangzhou, and I'm looking forward to another trip to China in the near future, to attend the interview at the Consulate.

Thanks again, to everyone that replied. Your support is so appreciated!

Hello everyone.

I have a very specific question: Which Chinese Government Office/s provide Birth Certificates, that are acceptable at the K-1 interview?

What I thought would be a minor task, has turned into a real stumper for us. I think that this subject was raised recently, in the forums, but I have been unable to find it in a Forum search.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
