I’ve never claimed to have a gold card.
Ok, getting you confused with someone else. I wasn’t being confrontational. I’m just wondering why it even matters whether you’re married or not, unless you’re here on a family-based APRC (or whatever it is that they replaced the JFRV with).
As someone said above, we’d all really like to know if this is the “new normal” or whether the guy was just having a laugh. Whatever he said he was doing, there doesn’t seem to be any plausible justification for his actions.
The basic logic behind this visit was because I was accused of a crime I may have a bad character/be breaking some laws re my marriage/work/living arrangements. He admitted his aim was to gather evidence of any such wrongdoing.
Protect yourself. You have meant reasons to. Just a quick visit to immigration notify them of the visit and get a copy of any report and your file. Easy.
Hi, this is my very last reply.
What everyone here is suggesting is that you put on your best smile and head down to immigration with your wife just too poke around and see what’s up.
Get a second opinion. And maybe find out more about the investigation into you.
My last run-in with the police, they wouldn’t even come up to my apartment. I had to go to the lobby where they gave me an appointment to vist them.
So, im surprised they didn’t just call you and the wife in for an interview. What happened was very invasive.
Either way, good luck. i do hope you update us later.
They want to check the living arrangements, so of course they want to visit you at your registered address. I said to him, “And if I wasn’t here, you’d be knocking on the neighbors’ doors, asking them about me: “Does he live alone? etc.”” And he just grinned.
No, he does not.
Was your wife in the bedroom? How would that prove anything?
Long time ago I refused entry to cops that wanted to check on me, nothing happened. I never sign anything in Chinese.
The sleeping arrangements, two toothbrushes, men’s and women’s clothes in the closets. It’s the kind of intrusiveness one expects in China, the only difference is that in Taiwan it’s done by someone affable.
I’m not replying to op…so not really breaking my word.
Pls expand on this. What do you know?
You need to invite them in, no one can just enter your house without any papers.
Lmao. I’m picturing the NIA employees as some kind of demonic entities.
But you had the same right to Take a picture of him and ask for his name.
So you could use it one day as evidence in case:
1- To clarify wtf they found in your home to make the agent said " A black mark on your record"
2- To clarify if indeed they do the correct steps to check your home
3- To use it as evidence for any reason you might have in future.
Because same as it’s our right to ask or take pic to a Cop when we think that the procedure is wrong. These agents are public workers, we deserve to know their ID during these procedures.
Example:
Same as when we apply to deliver an important document to immigration and we see Ms.Mei Li took our documents . But on the next days immigration calls/ report you that you didn’t deliver those documents. What you do? You claim that you hand it to Ms.Mei Li .
But if you don’t know her name or they dont show their name…thats illegal and big problem for you.
you mean, a court appointed warrant to enter the premises?
(ty law & order for priming me to be able to write this question)
It’s not just that, you need to call the lawyer before they do anything and ask for legal advice.
We are not in China or Russia.
So, @Hubert_Golightly , You’re the guy who f’ed over your employer (not judging, that’s your cake) and some guy shows up to “take pictures” of the interior of your dwelling, and you’re not suspicious of the whole thing? This aint China, BTW.
So glad I married a cop’s kid.
Holy shit that’s the same guy? Uhh yeah, I’d be suspicious as hell.
Gives you a lot of guanxi.
