Chinese New Year Greetings - Kung Hei Fat Choi (gōng xǐ fā cái) is traditional Chinese New Year greeting meaning: Congratulations and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!; Happy New Year!
During Chinese New Year, Chinese people will greet each other with pleasant words like: 'Xin nian kuai le' which means 'Happy New Year' (simplified Chinese: 新年快乐; trad. Chinese: 新年快樂; pinyin: xīn nián kuài lè ), or 'Hao yun' which means 'Good Fortune' (simplified Chinese: 好运, trad. Chinese: 好運, pinyin: hǎo yùn), Congratulations and be prosperous (simplified Chinese: 恭喜发财; trad. Chinese: 恭喜發財; pinyin: gōngxǐ fācái; in Cantonese: Kung Hei Fat Choi.The phrase ‘Gong Xi’ (or ‘Gong Hei’ in Cantonese) means 'Congratulations', derived from the legend of ‘Nian’, congratulating each other to have escaped the harm of the beast.

Renew I171H... fun fun
So.. our I171H expires in March and this is ALL the stuff we need to get together to have it re-newed. Luckily the US government was "nice" and is allowing one free renewal! YEY! It costs over $600 for this paperwork usually.
Download the I-600A form from http://www.uscis.gov/ , complete and sign, then submit to CCAI-FL.
Cover letter requesting the extension of your I-600A.
Photocopy of your original/current I-17H.
Photocopy of your birth certificate(s)
Photocopy of your Marriage Certificate
Release of Information and Consent to Law Enforcement
Completed Central Abuse Hotline Record Search forms
Personal check for $24.00 per adult in the household, made out to FDLE.
Completed Home Study Services Agreement. This is the ONLY document in the packet which must be notarized.
Appropriate Home Study Services fee either by personal check or by credit card authorization.
Updated local Police Clearance for applicant(s) and anyone 18 or older in the household. Note that for the State of Florida, these must be from the police or sheriff’s office, not a court.
Latest tax return (pages 1 + 2 of your 2007 1040 form).
Updated Employment Verification letter for applicant(s)

NOTE: You are not required to complete the entire physical and lab work again. A simple letter from your doctor (M.D. or D.O. only), on letterhead.
We've got all of it except my Dr letter. gotta call the Dr. tomorrow. We just got back yesterday from our cruise on the Solstice!! It was EXCELLENT! Had a great time. Seems we missed lots of cold air while we were gone! It was in the 80's in the islands.. nice and warm.
Oh back in December we had the honor of meeting two young ladies from China. Ruth from our church works part time, she's a retired teacher, at the Magic Kingdom and brought Cathy and Amy to our Christmas Eve Mass. Both girls had never been to a mass before. It was great to meet and talk with them afterwards. Here is a picture of us with the girls. It's a bit dark. There was another picture taken with the flash but none of us looked too good in it!
We exchanged emails and plan on keeping in touch! Maybe we'll get to see them when we go to China! That would be pretty cool!
