nillie,

u're just so good in those immigration questions.
i have no ideas abt those forms at all. i guess my case might be kinda different than those who come directly from HK. i landed as a foreign student and had practical training, then H1 and greencard, and my cases were kinda straightforward. the attroneys took care of most parts for me.

ckh689,

i can refer an attorney to u if u want.

Nillie_Mami,

多謝晒你的資料，咁我要重新計過數喇，我初初仲以為兩年內再入境，然後住滿兩年半，便可以入藉，而家先知要重新計五年，咁我呢兩年可能要每半年番美國一次仲抵d。

SY_Mom,

如有需要我再pm你, thx,

ckh689,
Just some supplementary info to your questions: -
1. You need to check what stuff you have to bring over to US. You shouldhave all the stuff that you need immediately along with you and those which are not important mailed to US (it can take 10 days to months depending on how you sent them). Bring only necessary stuff and those which could be hard to find in US, says Chinese books for your kids, formula which is not sold in US...Check with the airline company on how many lugguages you can bring and what's the weight allowance. Usually, new immigrants can have extra lugguage and more weight allowance but you need to communicate with the airline and see the terms and conditions before you buy the tickets. Some only give it to the new immigrants who buy one-way ticket for relocation purpose.

2. You will be given a form to report your belongings on the plane. Remember to tell the flight attendant that you need the one for new immigrants. If you bring in more than US$9999 in value, you need to go to a special customs counter after you passed the immigration and done all the paperwork plus fingerprints. In that counter, you will be asked why you bring in more than $9999 value of stuff, you just need to tell the customs that you are new immigrants. Usually, the customs will ask you how much cash you bring in. Don't show him the money or check (he will stop you doing it anyway) because it's a public area and all the other people can see you showing the cash. It's dangerous. I wrote the total lumpsum in a notebook, XXX in cash, XXX in check, XXX... and I showed it to the customs. He was so shocked when I did that (I guessed that a lot of chinese would count the money in front of him before).
7. Not HSBC. Actually, the seminar was held by Wells Fargo (a mainstream bank in US) who has alliance with HSBC and their HK office is located in HSBC building in Central. I received the information of the seminar when I picked up my visa and I submitted the reservation form. However, I landed SF in August 2004 and I don't know if Wells Fargo still holds this kind of seminar any more. WF also invited some other parties like Northwest Airlines, some cargo movers, new immigrants services centers, etc.

cathyabc,
You can check the website of US Citizenship & Immigration Services at www.uscis.gov There're all information about immigration and naturalization. For your case, your daughters bornt before you officially married your husband, they cannot have citizenship by born. You need to have your husband to apply for all of you. Fill in I-130 and follow the instruction (you can find it from the above website).

Dear all,

Here is my case or plan:

My husband's brother file my husband in Jan 2003 under F4 category. At that time my kid is only 2 years old. As it seems need 12 to 14 years of waiting. If everything as schedule, we hope my kid can land USA around grade 9 or 10. Since I have a stable job in HK, I'll join her 5 years laters after my early retirement. My husband will back HK after land with "return US" cert. My kid will stay with her uncle and cousin during the academic year and back HK during long holiday. I was told that it is better to study at least 3 years high school in US for applying good university. My brother-in-law suburb has a public high school which rank within top 100 high school in state.

Hoping someone can answer my following query:

1. I saw from a mainland china immigration website said that since 200X, as large volume of applications, the applicant will only recieve a letter acknowledge the application and need to wait until your turn for the second letter. We only rec'd that letter since 2003. Is it true?
2. Is the location of living the only criteria for enrolment in public high school? If not, what else should i prepare for the targeting public school?

Thanks in advanced.

mmju,

your BIL should receive 2 letters
1 is the letter stated they have received the payment of the application
2. the letter stated that US immigration office started processing your case (they should have a number on it for you to follow up)
after that.. you will wait until the time (about 2 years prior to your interview "10-12 years later"), you BIL will receive document then.. after he filled them in and mail it back, you will receive instruction from the US embassy from your city when you located.
2. Is the location of living the only criteria for enrolment in public high school? If not, what else should i prepare for the targeting public school?
Correct, so you can rent /buy the house where your target PS located.
Many Asian people do it that way.

mmju, to add to your Q2, mostly yes the public school depends solely on where you live. In certain school districts in the SF Bay Area, because of high demand but limited space, there will be a lottery.

traci,
你去問香港嘅旅行社, info會更可靠呢...
所有international air ticket, 唔佔坐位都要收費.. that is a must.
or 你直接問airline 會安全啲...
照印象... CX 唔佔坐位收10%, 佔坐位收75%, NWA 佔坐位收(平大人HKD$1000), CO同價
但你最好唔好信我哋...自己去問呢

traci,
Just like what Nillie said, baby has to pay even though he or she does not occupy any seat for international flight. Every airline has its own policy. Usually, baby under 2 years old has to pay around 20% of the "flat rate" fare and anybody over 2 need a full fare. But, be careful, 20% of the "flat rate" fare is based on the "original" price, not the special promotional ticket price. A few years ago, my sister paid HK$2,200 (20% of flat rate) for her son's ticket (18 months old at that time) and she paid HK$3,900 for hers for a round trip ticket of CX from HKG to SFO, net before taxes. My sister ordered a basket for him to sleep but he's too big for it and he refused to stay in that thing. My nephew was given kid's meal (quite delicious), a kid's backpack with toys but he had to sit on my sister's laps for the whole flight. He's sort of fussy and tired and so did my sister. So, if your baby is rather young and light, it might be still fine. Otherwise, you may need to have a 2nd thought. I know that every airline has different policy so, you may want to check a few before you purchase the ticket.

Some airlines such as NWA offered immigrant ticket when I came to US in 2003 but I don't know if they still offer it. Principally, one way ticket is cheaper than round trip but not 50% less.
