bpeacock Posted June 5, 2008 at 04:10 PM Report Posted June 5, 2008 at 04:10 PM I have a fiancee living in Fushun whom I've spent 10 days with in person and 4 months on-line with. We have decided to marry here in the US, she tells me that she needs 2000RMB to aquire her birth certificate, divorce decree and passport. Does that sound reasonable? Or am I being rousted just as I was with my former colombian wife? Quote
xtenhome Posted June 5, 2008 at 04:34 PM Report Posted June 5, 2008 at 04:34 PM thats only 300 us dollars. Even if this is a trick you can write it off as experience. With only four months online and 10 days in person how did you decide to get married ? Quote
yonglin Posted June 5, 2008 at 07:40 PM Report Posted June 5, 2008 at 07:40 PM Hmmm... if you don't mind me asking: did you get your previous wife to the US on a fiancee visa as well? I've heard they can be pretty tough on you if you try to do it several times, especially if not too much time has elapsed in between. Moreover, you need to show that your relationship is "credible"... There's an entire internet forum dedicated to this matter. I can't remember what it's called though. Try looking around a bit. Quote
kdavid Posted June 5, 2008 at 10:14 PM Report Posted June 5, 2008 at 10:14 PM There's an entire internet forum dedicated to this matter. I can't remember what it's called though. Try looking around a bit. www.candleforlove.com This will give you ALL of the details, including a time line and approximate costs. Keep in mind that couples who have been together for years may still find some aspects of the interview process difficult, particularly when they only speak one language together (i.e. they don't both speak Chinese AND English). I recommend you both spend some time looking over the interview questions and preparing answers. Unsuccessful visa interviews are almost always unsuccessful because the interview results did not prove the relationship to be credible. Quote
Lu Posted June 6, 2008 at 05:45 AM Report Posted June 6, 2008 at 05:45 AM 'Scuse me for asking, but are you sure you want to marry this woman (for better or for worse, till death do you part etc) if you don't feel you can't even trust her enough to believe that she's not lying to you about RMB2000? Wouldn't it be wise to spend some more time together, to make sure she likes you and not just your passport? Best of luck either way. Quote
