Yes, we do have some moms get the green card from lottery every year. 5000 quote per year, remember if you born in HK, you can submit your application, but if you born in Chinese or some special countries, you are not eligible.
They do have the time limit each year and I did not hear about it this period. When it is open again.. I may post it for more information

However, I would suggest, unless you have family here, and you know you can get a job here, you are working with a license professional.. if not, even you get the lottery, you need to think, how you can make your life here. Plus, you level of English speaking too..
As I saw so many of them, ended up with depression or have to return to HK after they sold everything in HK... and life quality drop to zero..
very sad stories...

Ellie,
If you are hired as part-time, they don't need to provide medical insurance for you at this point, unless Government's policy change.
But you can ask your boss if you want to buy insurance from ...

Form I-864a & DS-230

Hi Nille & 各位Mami,

剛忙完亞囡搵學校d野, 以家又要忙返搞移民手續!! 想問問:

1) 我家姐剛在上星期submit 了form I-864 & I-864a, 請問各位有經驗mami, 下一步驟會是什麼? 佢話通常兩個月左右就會有消息叫驗身, 係咪真係咁快?

2) Form DS-230, 我家姐話要我自己由香港submit 去NVC, 請問入這份form, 需要同時附帶遞交什麼文件呢? 良民證是否這段時間申請, 申請時需唔需要d證明?

3) 這段時間有d什麼文件可以預先申請或準備定先呀??

4) 打算今年九月送亞囡去美國讀寄宿學校, 如果趕唔切出移民簽證, 申請學生簽證會有左礙嗎?

十分謝謝 ....

Almost the same, background check, police check, body check, and what you are going to make you life in US.. that is their concern, if you don't have any skill, they will fail you anyway.

你嘅問題, 我會留返俾啱啱到步嘅媽咪/姐妹答.
if apply for student visa (I-20), you need to apply to school directly. that won't affect your application on your immigration.

Hi Nillie,

唔該哂, 其實我預左要申請Student visa, 但驚亞囡因為申請緊移民而簽唔到I-20, 想問問各位Mami 有無類似經驗?

另外, 我家姐從email 了份Form DS-230表格要我每人填一份, 再直接寄去NVC, 睇左好多資料話要連同正本一起提交, 所以現在有點搞迷糊了, 因為有人說要先附, 也有人寫到時面談再帶去, 請問這份DS-230是否真的需要正本如出世紙, 結婚證書等?? 啱啱到步嘅媽咪/姐妹可以給我明確解答嗎?

先謝謝!!

DS-230係每人要填一份...分part I & II...
你地要響Part I 簽名...
申請人(即係你家姐)都要響part II簽名...
佢要你交既文件...全部都要正本...
到你地響香港既美國領事館Interview既時候...
會比番你...
NVC係要收齊文件先會轉去香港...
佢一日收唔晒...都唔會轉去...
所以...你要一次過交晒...

yes ellie79 is correct, myip1995 You should submit all certified copies to NVC. you can go to 金鐘生死註冊處 to apply duplicate copy of Cert. of Birth for all applicants and your petitioner and certified copy of Marriage Cert. take about 14 working days. someone said that you can go to 民政處宣誓 to take certified copy. When you submit all Cetified copy and DS-230. please also submit 2 photos of each applicant. NVC should have instruction to u how to send the documents and how to apply 良民證
remember to bring original to the interview even they have your certified copy. Also, Bring in a copy that is not certified.. if they need it as their copy in file, so you can have your certified copy back.. which are very expensive.

大家好
先祝各位新年進步，身體健康

我一口氣看完這 thread，d資料好有用呀!!我應該早d過這邊來，-_-

我亞哥去了美國15年 (1996年去)
2007年申請父母 (也同時入紙申請我)
2010年8月，父母批出了，
2011年1月尾 land

想分享一下我父母的申請，我們自己搞，沒委託律師。
我們一家人都在大陸出世，所以好難搞關係証明，特別係父母都七十多歲，好多資料都不齊全。因此都係要在hk托律師整關係証明，和他們的出生公証。這個部份化了很多時間，因為我們要搜集好多資料，証明我們是一家人。

另外我父母40歲才來 hk，即是來了 hk三十多年，所以要搞大陸良民証。這是另一個最化功夫的地方，由 NVC提出這要求計，花了一年時間都搞不到。最後NVC說，叫大陸當局寫証明 '找不到資料'。

我亞哥是我父母的擔保人，請問幾多年之後再可以擔保？
是否我有 USD 150000資產就可以自己擔保？

我亞嫂說，兄弟姊妹申請的話，要十多年才批出，如果2007年入紙，是否2020年才到我 (還要等9年)？

所以我都要考慮小朋友日後升學的安排，(大仔4歲，細女2歲)，你們認為我的想法ok嗎？
我會安排他們在香港讀普通津小，一來慳錢，二來可以學中文。

我2夫婦在香港有工作(hb是police，我是小學教師)，我們過去之前可以如何增值，以便日後找工作？
其實我2夫婦批出的話，應該四十幾歲 (假設2020年批出 )，找工作有無年齡歧視？

olimo,

我亞哥是我父母的擔保人，請問幾多年之後再可以擔保？
Anytime, as long as 你哥哥全家收入能夠養晒所有人就任何時間都apply得!
是否我有 USD 150000資產
就可以自己擔保？
如果你哥哥收入OK, 你唔駛自己担保自己..

我亞嫂說，兄弟姊妹申請的話，要十多年才批出，如果2007年入紙，是否2020年才到我 (還要等9年)？
我check 過record, 兄弟姊妹申請係1.1.2011係做到1.1.2002... so it is about 9年, policy always change, so pls bare in mind about it!
所以我都要考慮小朋友日後升學的安排，(大仔4歲，細女2歲)，你們認為我的想法ok嗎？
it is up to you! they are your children!! trust yourself, you know the best of your children.
我會安排他們在
香港讀普通津小，一來慳錢，二來可以學中文。
我2夫婦在香港有工作(hb是police，我是小學教師)，我們過去之前可以如何增值，以便日後找工作？
your husband will be ok to be a police here if he has a good record.. he needs the recommendation letter and also, the reference from his boss when he comes over.
for you... basic school teacher in New York, must at least hold 2 master degree, and with special major, like you.. ESL or Maths will be perfect.. so you can follow that direction if you want.
Do not take my information very very serious, as I don't know where you are going to land, and the needs of Chinese in the neighborhood. you should ask your brother for more information! but, the needs of police and teacher for sure here!
其實我2夫婦批出的話，應該四十幾歲 (假設2020年批出 )，找工作有無年齡歧視？
No... there is no 年齡歧視, it is hate crime.. no one can discriminate anyone about age, gender, race, status!
Ask your husband to study in English, his life will be very hard at the begining.. for wife/female, to adapt new life, is easier than husband/ male... well... that is experience.

Nillie_Mami
謝謝你的回覆
2011就處理2002，咁2016就會處理我的申請？!
好快就到la woh
其實我有點 15/ 16
一來我兩夫婦在 hk都有安定的工作，去美國就要從頭開始；二來 hb對美國的感覺並不太好，所以他並不是十分渴望離開hk。幸好你說他去到仍可做police.......如果去到要做送貨工人，我猜他一定好難受。

我亞哥一家四口在費城附近的 Mechanicsburg
他好多年前擔保過我亞姨，(亞姨已經回大陸)
現在又擔保父母
如果日後再擔保我一家，唔知得唔得
他在政府部門工作，我怕影響他

小朋友如果在 hk讀中文學校，我怕未必能適應美國的學習模式。但我們實在無能力入讀hk的國際學校，也無打算谷小朋友，所以都係順其自然。如果2016年左右真的批出，我2個小朋友才10歲8歲，希望ok。

至於我，我要思考一下，了解多些，再作進修。

If you have good job in hk, and not really look forward to live in US... I really don't suggest u quit your job and settle here, you better take a long vacation, and try to "live" in here first, like a 4weeks vacations from work... and really live.. here... if you can get use to take the bus, subway, and know how to shop yourself... not depends on anyone.. and good to find a summer, a winter.. if you can tolerate with the hot day and cold day with several feet of snow... how to clean the snow yourself.
Then, you will know if you want to stay in US.
well, your bro works for government.. still have to see how much his made.
Also, for his aunt, how many years ago?
if you hate the -10 to 30 C everyday... Eastern coast may not good for you.. that ... winter last for at least 4 months..
In Jan 2011, we had 8 times snow storm, the snow in my back yard, still 2 feet height!
how you are going to drive in the snow, will be another difficultly as well..
