Getting an L Visa From the US

Getting an L Visa From the US

MENINO80 Points: Join Date: Apr 19, 2010 Status: offline	I'm looking to get an 90 day F Business visa before going over to China to study. My father is a financial broker with his own business, could I use his company's letterhead to suffice as my business letter? What would I need to write on this letter? It seems like I don't need an invitation if I have my own business or can show I'm a partner. Also, I'd like to find a job after that period. Could I switch from L to Z while in China? I don't mind flying to Korea though for a few days if not. What would I need to bring with me to get a Z visa teaching English? Just my degree and transcripts? What about a criminal background check? Thanks in advance.

GUESTGUESTLE...

Normally speaking, you need an official F visa notification letter to apply for an F visa at the Chinese embassy/ consulate.

To get this letter, the inviting company in China needs to apply for it at the local authority with necessary documents. It takes about 5 working days to process it in Beijing.

You can contact the embassy in your country to know more details about what they require you to provide. There may be some difference from country to country.

As for work visa application, you'd better take the Original degree certificate with you. In Beijing at least, the original Bachelor degree certificate (or above) is required when applying for a work visa. And you need to be older than 25 years old.
With some agent's help, you can directly get residence permit (work visa) without leaving China mainland.

We can help you prepare the Visa Notification form. Also we can help you change your L to F after you come to China with a L. Then when you find a job in China, we can help you change L or F directly to Z (actually it is temporary residence permit) in China if your employer is located in beijing. You need bring your original degree with you, also you'd better ask a company in US to help you provide a certifcate that you worked there before for 2 years.
