Sending money to her
Wilfred Motosue:
Thanks everyone. Looks like it's okay to send her funds. It cost $60 to wire up to $5,000 in my bank in Honolulu. She is very happy to learn english and is making the most of this opportunity to learn English before coming to Hawii. She know it will help her a lot to know how to speak english and talk with people and doing things that she will need or want to do , like going shopping for food, driving, banking, socializing with our friends and overall being happier to be in a foreign country and first time out of china.
Thanks again.

I have sent Xia plenty of money as I asked her to stop working a while ago and now I support her. Just one word of caution though, I just cut and pasted all the transactions onto a word document as I do all my banking electronically. The other day when she had her phone interview with the consulate they did question her about it. So if you are going to use the transactions as evidence (and you should) it may save some grief if you get a copy from the bank in the form of some sort of statement.

My immigration lawyer also told me that sending money was a very good thing to do , It shows for a genuine relation ship , I was also told that the amount was not to matter to much but as long as it was a regular occurrence, I send my wife $400 Australian a month and this is almost equivalent to her monthly wage in China, It makes her life so much easier and gives her the little pleasures in life that she has not had before, She was very against me sending the money to her at first until i told her of what the lawyer said about helping with the visa application.
Keep all records of the transactions as they are the proof you need, Regards from MinYing and John.

Yeh, but how did you do it? Did you get her bank account details and transfer the money straight to her? I was thinking of sending some money each week to Honey, but I'm not sure about the how-to's...
