Six. Chinese citizens and foreigners who request divorce in China shall file a divorce lawsuit with the competent people's court in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure of the People's Republic of China. Where a remarriage is requested, it shall be handled as marriage.

Seven. Chinese citizens and foreigners applying for marriage shall pay the cost of the marriage certificate and the registration fee to the marriage registration authority. The translation fee is up to you.

Upstairs, the boyfriend is not a foreigner.

To be honest, either wait for him to graduate and return to China, or you will find a way to study abroad as well. Otherwise, what if you can get married even if you are not in the same place?

Or does he have a holiday, and he will marry you when he comes back from vacation.

No, you have to sign the marriage certificate yourself, and if you are not in China, you will not be able to get the certificate.

Are you in ** now? The United States or China?

If you are in the United States, then take your valid documents, register in the city where your boyfriend lives, and then register for marriage.

If you're in China, then you can't get married in the United States!

Your boyfriend has to go to China to marry you, and then he goes back to the U.S. to apply for immigration for you.

If it goes well, the interview will take about a year or so, and through the interview, you can come to the United States to reunite with him.

While you wait, you must separate until your application is approved, unless he is willing and able to stay in China.

Now the immigration bureau is extremely strict in the immigration review of marriage applications!

They regard all marital immigrants as sham marriages.

You have to show the most convincing evidence that your marriage is genuine.

thereby overturning their assumptions.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to pass the interview!

If you don't know anything about marriage law, or your boyfriend doesn't have the ability or patience to handle it (just ** is a big stack!) ）

Then you'd better hire a Chinese lawyer in the United States to help you handle it.

You just do what the lawyer asks you to do and provide the documents.

Moreover, the lawyer should give you more than 100 questions, which are the questions that USCIS often asks in interviews.

The odds will be relatively good!

I advise you not to be impetuous, for the sake of speed, apply for a K-1 visa, there is no certainty that it can be approved, just hit the luck!

This is going to be asked by the relevant departments in the United States.

Show your call records to the Chinese consulate, and then you can write an invitation letter (in Chinese and English), Americans are not so strict when they go to China!

It would be better for him to issue a certificate that he is single before leaving, so that it will be much more convenient for you to register when you go to China.

As for where to open it, I don't know, you ask him to inquire about it, the Chinese Civil Affairs Bureau wants this document, he just needs to show his passport to stay in China legally, but after you get married, he goes back to the United States to apply for immigration for you, and you need to provide a lot of documents for both of you step by step.

It's good that he's coming back on a tourist visa.
