We called NVC today and changed my address - I wasnt intended to make it complicated but since my apartment in Shanghai got burnt down after we submitted our I-129f, I dont have other choice but change the add.
Thanks for your suggestion Darnell, but GUZ didnt require a cover letter for P3? If we just make up one, I guess it doesnt hurt? RED LETTERS, good suggestion, will do la!

Im amazed how unprofessional they are!! I have been dealing with Chinese government for a while, am never a fan of CCP, but to be honest, it is way more pleasant to deal with chinese government.

I don't think even that is enough. We go to great pains to maintain residency / residence in the US that other couples who work overseas wouldnt dream of doing. At the end of the day, the card can be taken anytime.
The worst thing that can happen is that we have to start over. Either way, we will just do our best and if the card ends up being taken we will repat somewhere else. We would rather have no card and an intact family then live apart just to maintain the card. Our marriage, after all, was not "just for a green card" and the green card is less important to us than the marriage.
Best to all of you,
D&N

Thanks TboneTX and thanks to everyone for contributing to this topic.
The following seems to be the consensus ( altho not written ):
If you are absent for less than six months, you will rarely have a problem. It is BCBP's job to prove that you abandoned your residency. Absent that, you are considered to never really have left.
If you are absent for more than six months but less than a year, the burden of proof reverses. It becomes your job to prove that you are still a permanent resident. This is based on the concept that after six months, you have to be readmitted and have to prove that you are still admissible. As a side note, after an absence of more than six months, the various criteria for admissibility apply again, too. For instance, if you in the meantime had become inadmissible, say through an HIV infection, you might have a problem.
If you are absent for more than a year, your Green Card will be considered almost automatically abandoned. Once that happened, there is usually no recourse. However, if through some miracle the immigration officer didn't ask you how long you have been out of the USA when you return, then you may be in luck and able to keep your Green Card after all. You should in this case not leave the USA for a very long time, and make it your bona fide residence again.
I'll check out the link Tbone provided, and attempt to get something in writing. There's less credence to something said over the phone as there's no proof when you need it.

I'll take a shot at it. I think that for a lot of black men it has become socially acceptable to spend time behind bars, in some cases even a rite of passage. I personally feel that if I were to be sent to jail I would miss out on all that life has to offer. I've raised my kids to have the same belief and that seems to keep us in line. I'm afraid that black youths maybe don't have the same incentives to stay out of jail, they seem to lack the vision of a future.
So who is to blame? My feeling is that putting the blame on white society is a very easy option, one that many take but blame isn't going to solve any problem let alone one as complex and deeply rooted as this problem. So personally I think trying to find the blame is a complete waste of time.
So how do you solve it? That's a big question huh? It's been asked for a long time. I have no idea if there is one true answer. I can tell you what I think the answers aren't. The answer isn't the federal government, finger pointing or blame. It's not looting and rioting and bad cops. I do think it has to start from the ground up and right now in this country its not happening. Racial divides in this country seem to be higher now than I can remember in my entire life. It's a doom loop and I don't see it ending any time soon. We all need to look inward on this one.

Shout out to my sisters and brothers at the VSC!! Keep on keepin on!

To the OP,
If she entered on a K-1 she will not be able to adjust status based on marriage to anyone else without a VAWA Claim.
Stay far away from her...

sorry, just reviewed yer timeline in yer sig area
duh.
My new opinion
go back, get a supervisor. this is allowed by marriage certificate, no uscis 'activity' required.
That fella was a dolt.

Minor slip Unca Darnell.
He was a friendly dolt though.

Yes and Yes. I had the marraige certificate in my hot little hand but he was certain he couldn't do the job. We may try one more time and ask for a Supervisor.

As a US Marine all I can say about your post and opinion is; you're welcome.

What justashooter is saying also does not apply, at all, to my wife.
I don't know anything about him or his wife, but I think making vast generalizations about what "Chinese women" think, want, or how they act... is inherently flawed.
My wife is very independent, and loves my self-deprecating sense of humor. The other Chinese women that I have come to know through my wife are also nothing like what he describes above.
Perhaps it is true of an older generation or something, but mostly, I doubt it.
