Excuse me, my father-in-law has handled temporary id card in Hongkong now. My husband wants to go to Hong Kong. How many years does it take to run temporary id card in Hong Kong?

In other words, your father-in-law is not a permanent resident yet, but an ordinary ID card, and he can only apply for permanent residence after 7 years. Your husband is his adult child on the mainland. According to the regulations, minor children can apply for the past, unless your father-in-law is old and nobody cares, only your husband's only son can apply, but only if he has obtained a permanent identity card. At least seven years later, it's a long time anyway! I wonder if I understand.
