Picture of Lily and her Mom at our Home in Long Island, NY.
Please pray for my father in-law his name is Xiao Zheng. He is now alone in China away from his family, his family is small because in China you are only allowed 1 child and his only child my wife Lily is here now in the US along with Lily’s Mother.
You see Lily and I met on the internet in 1999, Lily is from Beijing China and I am from NY Long Island, back then I went to visit Lily in China, we fell in Love and then later I returned to China to get married, of course I had to return back home. It took 2 years for paper work to process due to delays after the attack on our country September 11, 2001 for Lily to get her visa to come to the US and live with me so we can start our family, which was 4 years ago. Lily’s parents have not seen Lily for over 3 years. Now Lily is 5 months pregnant with our first baby; a little girl on the way.
We thank God that Mom was able to come to the US and now is helping us out. Our baby is due on December 12, 2008 and we are praying Lily’s Dad will be able to be re-united with his family so he can witness the birth of his first granddaughter.
When Lily’s parents went for their visa interview at the American consultant in Guang Zhou, China on August 4, 2008 we were VERY excited, Lily is now an American citizen so there should be no problem in granting an immigration visa for her immediate family. However during the interview something went wrong.
Lily’s Dad was asked if he was a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and he answered truthfully yes, this caused him not to receive his visa and almost stopped Lily’s Mom as well, however Mom explained that she is not part of CCP and that her daughter is pregnant in the USA and needs her and requested that they will give her a visa and they did. Now you must understand in China especially living in Beijing during the late 70s and 80s it was a matter of survival to get a job and the only real good jobs were government jobs; to get these jobs you would have to be a member of the CCP. Now Lily’s Dad is an incredible artist, very talented so he got a job working as an artist for the CCP, he holds NO rank or goes to any meeting as such. He is like someone here working at the Pentagon who is just a maintenance cleaner or someone who works for the US government such as the DMV.
We are in the process of sending a letter to our Congressman Peter King to tell him our story and hope that he can help expedite Lily’s Dad getting her. We pray that Peter King can help us out by contacting the consultant in China. We pray that Lily’s Dad can be here with his family before the birth of our first child.
Lily’s Dad is a good man, a humble and VERY talented artist, he is now alone and very sad because his whole family is literally half way around the world, he misses them so much. Please pray that Xiao Zheng will be able to come to be with his family as quickly as possible.
I am going to send out an email with details for our family members and close friends to also send a letter to their congress men and tell our story. That would be a miracle in action if everyone can send a letter and help us have Lily’s Dad come home.
