|

Hi,
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean when you say a person says, "good luck" and they take your visa away. Why would they want to do this?
Am I mistaken that to get the visa you need to be sponsered by a school. If so, wouldn't the school want to have you enter the country?
Perhaps I'm being completely niave here. Please inform me since I'm thinkin of accepting a position (I should get the contract tomorrow or the next day).
Many thanks,
Patrick |

I've dealt with the visa agency at the Chinese consulate in LA many times. You go in, give them the forms, your passport and the fee. A couple of days later you go back and pick up your passport with the visa in it. The last couple of times I have gone to China the travel agency processed the visa for a very small fee. Last time they got a multiple entry business visa for me and they took care of the invitation letter.
There are a lot of Chinese travel agents in LA. You can not only get your visa handled by the agency, but the tickets are a lot cheaper there too. |
