		<strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Visitor Visa</span></strong></h3>
	<strong><br />
	</strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Unless she has already traveled to your home country, or at least to another first world country, and gone back home before that visa expired, your new Chinese or Asian friend is likely going to have to travel to your country as part of a tour group. Either way the best thing she can do is enquire with a legitimate China Travel Agency into getting her visa and her transportation. If she comes as part of a tour group be prepared to buy into the tour on your end and go along for the ride unless she can make arrangements to leave the group and meet up with them prior to the time for departure.</span> These rules are in a lot of flux right now in various countries and the companies who will be first to know are the travel companies. Before she settles on believing what she is told you should also make an enquiry with your local Travel Agent to see if they can offer something better or cheaper.<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />

	Fiancee or K-1 Visa</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">
	<span style="font-size: 10pt;">There are two basic steps to getting a K-1 visa. The first one involves the Petition which is completed by the U.S. citizen while the second step involves the Application which is the alien's request for a K-1 visa stamp at their home country's U.S. consulate. The completed petition is sent to the CIS for approval. Upon receipt of the petition, the CIS will send the U.S. citizen a receipt notice indicating that they have received the petition and providing an approximate time frame for how long the processing will take.<br />
	 </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: normal;">
	<span style="font-size: 10pt;"> Once the petition has been approved, a Notice of Action (I-797) is sent to the U.S. citizen reflecting the approval. The file is then sent to an U.S. consulate in the alien's home country. Once received, the U.S. consulate will contact the alien and provide information about setting up an appointment to obtain a K-1 visa stamp. On the day of the appointment, the K-1 beneficiary will required to produce documents showing that s/he is not excludable for health reasons. If everything is in order, s/he will be granted a K-1 visa stamp.<br />
	<br />
	Before proceeding, it is best to first gather all documents that will be needed. They include the following:</span></div>
<ul type="disc">
	<li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: normal;">
		<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Proof showing that the petitioner is a U.S. citizen: U.S. government issued birth certificates are best. </span></li>
	<li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: normal;">
		<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Proof that each is legally free to marry. If any was previously married, s/he will need to include documents showing that the marriage was terminated through death or divorce. </span></li>
	<li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: normal;">
		<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Proof that that the alien has the genuine intention to marry the U.S. citizen within 90 days of his/her arrival into the U.S. This can be in the form of: wedding plans, church reservations, caterer reservations, receipts for deposits placed, wedding invitations, letter from a pastor indicating that he will be presiding over the ceremony. </span></li>
	<li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: normal;">
		<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Proof that the two have met within the past two years. This can best be shown through pictures of the two being together. The picture should have the date imprinted on it by the photo developer to show that it was taken within the past two years. This is an important requirement. Failure to meet this requirement will often result in a denied fiance petition.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: normal;">
	<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Upon the approval of the K-1 petition, the CIS will send the file to the U.S. consulate designated on the I-129F form. The U.S. consulate will notify the alien when they have received the file and provide the alien with forms and information and an appointment time.<br />
	<br />
	One of these forms is used to conduct a background security check on the alien. <br />
	The alien will also have to bring the Affidavit of Support to the appointment. This form shows to the officer at the U.S. Consulate that the signor will take financial responsibility for the alien.<br />
	<br />
	The alien will also be required to undergo a medical examination. The notice that is sent to the alien from the U.S. Consulate when the petition is approved by the CIS and received by the consulate will provide instructions on where to go see a medical examiner. The interview is designed to verify all the information contained in the application.<br />
	<br />
	Assuming that the alien is not excludable and that s/he and the U.S. citizen have physically met within the past 2 years, intend to marry within 90 days of the alien's arrival, are both legally free to marry, have properly completed the paperwork, and have all supporting documents to prove these claims, the application should be approved and the alien will be on his/her way to joining their future spouse in the U.S.
