General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI followed DUer LeftStreet's advice from my earlier thread about reuniting with my wife
This thread was where LeftStreet suggested this.I have never been this desperate in my life. China changed its rules and made my $890 layover in Taipei flight invalid for the green QR code upon arrival. They now require all flights to be direct flights into China.
The airlines are grossly inflating my flight to reunite to my wife. It's now between $5000 - $9000. My school is covering $2500 of it. I have another $1500.
It's been two years since I've seen my wife. We've delayed children. We've been rejected for her green card twice.
LeftStreet told me to setup a gofundme and I have never been this desperate in my life.
Could DU left me like you would have if my wife got her green card and I continued my run for the Arizona Legislature?

(5,568 posts)They denied her entry, forced her on a Delta flight from SEATAC to DTW, then onto a DTW flight back to Shanghai.
I did mention before that she video chatted me in the plane in Detroit with tears in her eyes, asking why they were doing this to her and that she couldn't talk long because they were watching her, then put the phone over her shoulder to show two large male CBP officers standing arms crossed, glaring at her like she was a prisoner in transit.
She never made it to Tucson. They locked her in airport jail in SEATAC, let het out 15 minutes at a time twice a day for a bathroom break for three days, and spoke anti-Chinese slurs to and about her.
When she got back to Shanghai, she asked me what a "chink" was. I asked her what she meant. She said they referred to her as the "chink with the fake husband."
Even CBP refused to let me talk to her because, as the woman said, "you can't prove you are her husband."

(44,962 posts)It seems to me that is what China wants now from US travelers.
"On January 4, 2022, the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. released updated rules for passengers traveling to China from the U.S. Under the new requirements, travelers must arrive in the city of departure seven days before the date of departure of the direct China-bound flight. During this period, they must undergo two rounds of COVID-19 tests, one on the seventh day prior to the flight departure and one within 48 hours of the departure flight. Passengers must also undergo self-monitoring and fill in the Personal Health Monitoring Form."

(5,568 posts)Look at the IR1 visa for a Green Card compared to the J1 (exchange) and the H1B green card rules here.
There may be different rules for business people on F-visas (business visas), but all people going to China on Q-visas and Z-visas (I have a Q family visa going to exchange it for a Z work visa when I arrive and go to the local Exit-Entry Bureau) now must use direct flights.

(44,962 posts)I don't think OP is making it up. He wants to get a "green code." The green code can only be obtained in the country from which the direct flight to China departs. So I presume that means he has to depart from US directly to China.
"The green HDC code must be obtained in the country from which the direct flight to China departs and cannot be obtained in a third country. If you are transferring from a third country before getting a direct flight to mainland China, you must ensure that there is enough time between flights in the transit city to obtain the requisite COVID-19 tests and apply for the green HDC code."

(61,418 posts)I've asked if perhaps the poster might need to consider compromising in order to get what is most important to him.
I've been reading his OPs for months. Well-placed DUers have connected him with senators and other officials. We hear "they did nothing."
The poster wants to be with his wife - a very understandable position! What needs to happen for that goal to be achieved? There are challenges. We're in the midst of a global pandemic that seems to be spiking again in China. The Chinese government and U.S. government are not friendly. Russia - China's ally - is invading Ukraine. The world's a mess. I'm sorry the OP is caught up in this. Compromise may be necessary.
BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)There are simply a lot of questions. People have a right to ask.
I remember years ago a gofundme campaign that was found to be a fraud here. The poster had come back to the trough again and again. Actually I remember two. DU sleuths found them both out.
I fell for one of them. Ive never donated since, nor will I, unless I know the person.

(61,418 posts)I don't understand. The Chinese government is specifically targeting you? They are specifically increasing the cost of your ticket to more than 10 times the usual rate? How does the Chinese government have the power to dictate the cost of a specific traveler's ticket to the airlines? International airlines, not owned by the Chinese government? In this thread DUers have posted examples of tickets from the US to China costing less than $700.
Second, what does this have to do with your plans to run for political office? I'm sorry that you're having difficulties obtaining a green card for your wife, but I've never understood what that has to do with your running for office.
Perhaps now is not the time to run for office?
LisaL
(44,962 posts)China has a zero covid policy. So they have a whole lot of rules and regulations of what one has to do to be allowed into China. My understanding is in order to get a "green pass" one has to fly from a country like US directly into China.

(5,568 posts)A Chinese "green card" is an R-visa. That is nearly impossible to get.
I am currently on a Q-visa which is a family visa. My wife is a Chinese national.
I need to switch the Q-visa to a Z-visa (which is a work visa) when I arrive, which has new rules.
As stated in various previous posts, I suspended and ending my campaign for AZ House because of the US Government. After listening to my wife sob on WeChat video chat after the second time her green card was denied by the NVC, we decided that, since the US government denied her entry once in Seattle, and then denied her green card twice, I will go back there at the conclusion of my contract here.
I was planning an $890 one way ticket on June 1st, but then China changed its rules.

My mother even went to Ann Kirkpatrick and my uncle emailed and contacted Mark Warner in Virginia. All went nowhere.
There is no compromise and there seems to be a problem with the understanding of our bigoted, racist legal immigration system written by two of the biggest anti-Semetic nativists in the 1950s and passed over Truman's veto at the height of McCarthyism.
Trying to help? Biden opened up the borders for families to reunite and my family can't because some low-level bureaucrat at the NVC refused to accept that my marriage is legitimate, even though we even submitted the certification from the American consulate in Shanghai.

If I were desperate to get to China as you are, I don't think I'd be posting on a forum - where I have just solicited for funds - that I would be heading to LA for a (I presume) multi-day film festival.
While GFM appeals often touch the heart, obviously we can't give to all of them. I'm fairly selective when choosing to donate to other than organized charities, but I did choose to send you a few bucks, which you apparently didn't note b/c it wasn't acknowledged by a TY. Then, just hours later, you post about an upcoming vacation to LA? Doesn't align, Aram.
But thanks - you've reinforced my initial decision to not donate to GFMs any longer.
AZLD4Candidate
(5,568 posts)Okay. . .here it goes.
In January, I was accepted into the Multicultural International Film Festival as a screenwriting finalist and a panelist. The day I was told, I asked my wife if I could go. She said "yes, but make it cheap."
I paid for the cheapest AirBNB I could find near the film festival. I paid for it out of my own account. Since I am a finalist and a panelist, I inquired as to see if I needed to purchase a ticket and was told no, I am part of the festival so therefore, one was reserved. I am staying at an AirBnB because I can go to a supermarket, buy, and cook for myself rather than go to a restaurant.
I went to Tucson yesterday to meet with my tax accountant over how to file tax returns overseas. She is on the extreme SE side of Tucson. After I had my quick meeting with her, I went to Hughes Federal Credit Union and, using $10 of my own money, I setup an account where I will put everything for the trip to China to give to my school.
I then withdrew my state tax refund, the $1000 my family gave, and the $500 my assistant superintendent gave me (since his spouse is always overseas and hasn't seen his spouse for about the same amount of time as I have) and put it in the new account.
I haven't even drawn out of the GFM at all yet to put in the new account. I cannot believe this is happening to me.
As for thanking you. . .I haven't gone onto my GFM yet. But for those that did and told me, I thanked them here, and on GFM.
What else do you want from me? I'm sorry I ever listened to the DUer now. I am near complete meltdown now and all I've gotten today is "He's a fraud," "he's a liar," "I'm going to watch you so you can be arrested."
I will never ask anyone for anything again. I'm sorry you don't accept anything I say.
I'm sorry. . .I need to go outside and put DU away for a while. I'm literally starting to well up.

No one questions the GFM because everyone knows someone who knows her. Friends of family, friends of friends, friends of colleague, family of colleagues, so on. Might be a little easier if not done among strangers. And like it or not, we're all strangers.
