I suggest to you that you stop thinking in terms of 'we'. You are an alien in the eyes of Chinese immigration, but not your wife. She decides to move to the city, not you nor 'we'. It's much easier for her to do so than for youh. You tag along as you are her alien appendage. Your reason for changing your digs is merely to be with her. Her reason for changing her digs is her business.

So, get your RP organized while living in your sparrow-fart village/county. Then report to the PSB THAT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED, IN THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO MOVE TO THE BIG CITY TO BE TOGETHER WITH WIFEY.

Your RP WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL IT EXPIRES. THEN RE-APPLY, THIS TIME TO THE BIG CITY PSB.

Ensure that your wife isn't caught out lying, coz that would possibly have negative consequences. You and your wife should be able to sing from the same hymn sheet, to the letter, if necessary.

The wife is happier after seeing all your replies as I am. The police here (entry exit) return to work after the holiday on Sunday so we shall putt putt putt our way to town then. You must have had years of experience with these people. Thanks a lot. I'll let you know how I got along on Sunday.
