I-130

(1/2) > >>

fivetrout:
I was looking at the I-130 form , US visa request last night for the first time. It seems straight forward and reasonable. Are there any hidden pitfalls or areas I should be concerned with? I know many here will stress the importance of hiring a lawyer, but other than coaching Hong, it doesn't appear to difficult or confusing in my regard if I summit exactly what is required. I'm hoping other forms I will find the same.

One question I do have: On the application forms...do I use her new married name or her previous name? I'm thinking her family name whereas that's where information will be aligned.

Any thoughts?

Use her previous name.  China does not recognize the husband surname even with a Chinese husband.

JohnB:
Wife's CHINA surname never changes. As Shaun indicates.
The I-130 problem for me was item# C2, C15, C20. I entered 'see attachment' for the long China addresses.
C20 requirement is for entry in 'native' alphabet. Chinese. Had to download Japanese fonts in addition to
whatever China fonts I had to make a go of it.

Contact Robert S or a immigration lawyer.Do not try to do this on your own.

Pineau:
Similar Question about names.
Fiona has her green card and Katie's will probably arrive in the next 10 days.

They want to change their Chinese names to English and take my sir-name.

Any problems in getting the green card, social security, etc. changes also?
