| Getting Married Abstract from Chinese Women in Love and Marriage written by Dawn Xiao Yan Li If she is living in China , There are two ways for you to marry her – Marry her in China and then apply for a visitor visa to your country, or apply for a fiancée visa and marry her in your country. From our experience at Asian Promise, most men from Western countries other than the USA choose to marry her in China first. After the marriage, it normally takes 3-6 months (depending on which country) to process her visitor visa to your country, which is quicker than applying for a fiancée visa (which normally takes longer than 6 months). It is still difficult for mainland Chinese to obtain a visitor visa to any first world country except by joining an arranged tour. By contrast, most American men choose to apply for a fiancée visa for her first because it takes longer to process her visitor visa to go to the USA after marriage (over a year) than a fiancée visa (9-12 months). If you are working and living in China , marrying her in China would, of course, be your first choice. Although every country has its own policy and process for marrying someone from another country, every country requires you to provide good evidence to show your love is true. Therefore please do keep all your evidence, e.g.: your correspondence mail and telephone bills, papers to prove your visit(s) to China, photos to prove you have been together, ways that you met etc., which will help you smooth the process a great deal. The processing of your paperwork can be a long wait for lovers. However it has proved that it hasn’t done any harm in most cases and often done a lot of good. It has helped people to mature their love in the meantime and to value their love after they marry. So far, we haven’t heard of any couples married through Asian Promise who have separated or divorced. We owe it to our members’ sincerity and effort that they have spent before their marriage. Be positive about it and think that many people have spent years and years to finally find their right match and happiness. I have gathered some paperwork information here to help you on your way. Please note I supply the information in good faith but don’t guarantee correctness or validity. Please do contact the relevant authorities for full and updated details. 1.Marry her in China Read more... please go to Chinese Women in Love and Marriage 2.
