have decided to return to china. did the leg work. tried to examine the schools as much as possible. narrowed the field. selected a school. took a job offer. the school mentions they need me asap. ask about the visa. they say they can't help me with the visa!!!. back to square one.
visa US$100. expedite fee $30. transist to chicago (must apply in person) approx $150. one way ticket to beijing $900. that's more than a little bit of change to come to a school that can even be bothered to write the letter for the visa.

someone pm please if they can recommend a school/ entity that has the slightest idea what they are doing.

thanks

Getting scre wed over once you arrive? Priceless

Some things are free. For everything else, there's Mastercard!

Or go via HK and get a 6 month F over-the-counter variety.
However due to the latest apparent visa rumpus between the states and China - if they're available to USA citizens and the ease of which they can be converted into a latter Z visa is an issue of much debate in these columns

Doesn't it occur to you that if the school won't give you a proper invitation letter to legally obtain a Z visa then maybe you should not take that job ?

If they won't help you with legal employment in a proper process then why work there ?

If you have a background in science, maths or IT and experience of teaching these subjects in a foreign language i.e English as well as the standard EFL fare then I may know of an opening.

If your interested please pm me.
