A recruiter from China has asked me if I'm interested in a position that begins on Nov. 2nd. It's Oct. 22nd. Is it possible to get a visa processed in that time? It took me 3 weeks to get my passport and that was with an *expedited* application!---Todd

Depends on what type of visa it is.

They're desperate; ask for more money.

...unless you're also desperate. Laughing

I got a ghana vacation visa in 1 day at twice the cost of a china visa here in canada. i love how the guy on the phone said it only 50$ for anytipe of visa for no matter how long. well see if its true .

also , if you live in an embassy town , its under 1 week no doubt.

ChinaESL is something other than a recruiter. It is run by a woman named Rebecca out of her apartment. If you interview with a school through her you can never work for that school! She has teachers sign a contract directly with her, not the school. She takes half your monthly pay and gives no benefits. The contracts state that you can't ever be hired directly by the school and she pays off administration to keep them happy. She is not trustworthy and has been caught in several lies including incorrect pay.
