 Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 9:54 am Post subject: References for Z visa? |
 |
|
I have applied to a university and received this after having sent in my resume, CV, proof of education, etc.
| Quote: |
I ask you provide us reference from your
recent former employment because we need it to apply for a Z visa for you. |
Now, I have no problem with a school asking for a reference. In fact, that makes me like them more because they're showing at least a bit of care in their search. But do references really have anything to do with Z visa or are they lying about something completely insignificant that doesn't need to be lied about? |

| This last change in jobs..I was requested to provide my past employer's reference letter..and they called him also..and a few others form my past...working past,.. you guys... and the reason stated was changes in the residence visa process...also I know that a number of schools have had trouble getting teachers across the border because of visa problems...not sure if this is true or a rumor..as a rumor has the same affect as a changing regulation... |

| A reference letter is required in order to get the Z visa, in fact your school needs to translate it and your resume when they provide it to the PBS. |

I too was asked by my employer to provide an official (i.e. with the former school's red stamp) letter of recommendation when I first applied for a position. I believe the PSB was mentioned.

This is standard practice ... Last year I had my Chinese tutor guide me through the process. She basically wrote the letter herself, and had the relevant authorities sign and chop it, they were more than happy to.
