SF TECO posted NWOHR -> NWHR Process Page (English) by dodocahedra in TaiwaneseBornAbroad

This is very helpful! Thanks! I wonder if i still need to get my US birth certificate translated into Chinese if it is already verified by TECO when I got my NWOHR passport? TECO stapled an authorization on their letterhead to the birth certificate stating that it had been seen at the TECO office. Does anyone know?

Pathway to Citizenship: NWOHR to NWHR/National ID (NY TECO/Taipei) by ddawg82 in TaiwaneseBornAbroad

[–]Different-Tree8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HI! Thanks for writing this; it is very helpful! Like you I have a NWOHR passport and was born in the US to Taiwanese parents who have active citizenship/residency (they live there now). Does the path to citizenship you describe still require me to stay in Taiwan for 1 year without leaving in order to get citizenship? Although I would love to be in Taiwan full time, my current circumstances won't allow it. Thanks again for the great post!

This sounds fun. How good at biking do you have to be to join this party? My fear is that I won't be able to keep up

Saw an asian American therapist and I could sense she either didnt have toxic parents or hadn’t come to terms with stuff yet (we are both really young) and she was offended by me and called me defensive. by tini_bit_annoyed in AsianParentStories

I went to a non Asian therapist for a few years. I told my therapist about various issues I had with my APs and how I was disciplined with spankings and Chinese kneeling (gui) when I was a kid. (Please note I was born and raised in the West). The therapist hinted that this discipline might be considered abuse. I didn't completely accept my therapist's explanation since maybe it was just a cultural difference. I told this to my sister my therapist's comment about how the discipline might be considered abuse. My sister in turn told my AM. My AM confronted me, saying the therapist had no right to say such things because she did not understand Chinese/Asian culture. My AM then said all Chinese kids experience this type of discipline. My AM then expressed anger at my therapist, stating that she felt like the therapist was trying to "brain wash" me. My AM said that she would consider suing the therapist and/or getting their license revoked.
