The world is coming here! ;>) So, my father's Chinese's wife's Chinese niece's anchor baby finally got his passport and will be going to Venezuela soon to be united with his parents. You may recall that the niece travelled here legally on a visa, and paid $10,000 American in cash for the baby to be born here in the USA. And then waited a very long time for the passport. Turns out that the Chinese father, who owns stores in Venezuela, paid good money to a lawyer in Venezuela, who filled out all the forms in Spanish. The US government does not accept forms in Spanish. The mother went back to Venezuela, took the father to the US embassy, and got all the forms filled out in English and notarized at the US embassy, and scanned them and emailed them to my father, who emailed them to the passport people in New Orleans and Utah and they sent the passport to my father. The mother is coming back soon and will take the little anchor baby to Venezuela, with his US birth certificate and US passport. My father will be happy to have his wife no longer preoccupied with her niece but I think my stepmother will be sad without another Chinese lady to talk to. I think she is lonely but she does get together with other Chinese ladies to play mah jong every week or so. My father says they are playing dominoes. I tell him, if you play dominoes with those ladies, don't play for money, because they will take everything you have.
