| GUEST8984 | She can apply for the S2 type together with you. She needn't wait until you get your resident permit. Personally, I suggest she applies for the S2 type directly. If she applies a L type, it will be difficult for her to change it into S2 type in China. |

At the Chinese embassy, you can apply for an X visa and your wife can apply for a S1 visa by providing necessary documents. Within 30 days after entering into China, at Public Security Bureau, you need to have X visa changed to a 1-year Residence permit for study. And your wife can get a 1-year Residence permit as student's family member. |

It can be acquired after the applicant changes his X1 type into resident permit within one month after he/she arrives in China. So you may come to China first. Once you acquire the resident permit, you can send your wife copies of your passport and resident permit. I was told that people in the same situation like you and your wife can apply together. A guy said that he did it successfully though the whole application process is very difficult. |
