How do Americans apply for immigration after they come to Shanghai for marriage registration?

There are two ways. If an American citizen has lived in China for six months and holds a foreigner's residence permit, he can submit an immigration application at the embassy (Beijing or Guangzhou) where his spouse lives. Beijing needs to make an appointment, and Guangzhou only has it every Friday morning. The other is to mail the application materials to the USCIS corresponding to the state where the American citizen is located to submit the application. The former takes about 3-6 months, and the latter takes about 9- 12 months, but now the latter has waited about 1 year, which is very slow.

In addition, some people upstairs say that it is not advisable to transfer to B2, which has a bad reputation and is not conducive to relatives visiting relatives and emigrating in the future.

Whether it is a domestic application or a foreign application, Chinese personnel need to prepare birth notarization and marriage notarization. American applicants need to fill in the I- 130 form, and China and the United States need to fill in the G-325a form, and each country needs to prepare two 50×50 visa photos. There are also proof materials of the relationship between the two sides, such as photos, round-trip air tickets to meet, and so on.
