Something to be thinking about

My team leader at my school married a Chinese teacher this past summer, and they are trying to arrange for her to be able to travel home to the States with him this July for ERAP training. She was denied a tourist visa by the U.S. embassy three times last summer for failure to prove that she would definitely return to China, even though she submitted bank records and a school contract. They are in the process of re-applying for a visa now that they are married. Remember Mary and Joel in your thoughts because she'd really like to be able to visit Joel's family and hometown.
