Thank you for the information and I am not sure that I understand What you told Mr. Tad. If I were to get married to a Chinese woman and I wanted to live in China, the only way I can do that is to live on a Tourist Visa (l Visa)and do a Visa Run every 60 days? How many times can I do a visa run to HK in a row? Also what if a female american citizen marries a male Chinese man and want to stay home and take care of her children? I am only asking this because I have fallen in love with a girl and love her so much. She lives in China and I live in the US. But we have been friends for 1 year, and I wanted to visit her and ask her to marry me. So is there a way I can marry here and live there with her for life? Thanks for your help
