I am a US Citizen and my wife is an MD/PhD Scientist who has been in the USA for 9 years. We married in Dec 2005, and filed for her Green Card in February 2006 and had our interview in June 2006, when we were told the FBI hasn’t completed their background check yet and it could take several months to several years. I heard that Chinese Scientist are having to sue the Federal Government to get action and it seems to work. I was told by my senator’s office (Maria Cantwell’s Office) to wait six months before suing. They were the ones that told me that law suits seem to get some action in getting the background check done.

How can you speed up the FBI background check for Chinese immigrants other then suing the Federal Governement?

Did you know you need a permit to cycle across China from Beijing to Tibet?
Godly Reality Check asked:
I could start riding a bicycle from here (Pa) to California today without a permit.
My brother lives ad China and wants me to visit for the summer. He sent me a message last night on MySpace telling me about the plans to cycle from Beijing to Tibet, but then ran into the problem that we’re white Americans, and look like white Americans, so we’re going to have to dodge police so we won’t get thrown in jail…
This permit law is for everyone in China, not just tourists. Especially since my brother is now a China citizen.
It’s funny though because people complain that outsiders in America have to get a Visa or green card to come to the US for work or what not, but you need a permit just to go to another region there.
