DUMBLEDORABLE Points: Join Date: May 19, 2016 Status: offline	Hello everyone! I've been Googling my heart out and am not finding answers to my questions so I'm hoping someone can help me! We live in Houston so we will not be using a visa service so this is very intimidating trying to do it by ourselves My husband has accepted a job at an international school in China so we will be moving there this summer. In looking at the visa application, there are a few questions I would like some guidance on so our applications are accepted. 1.15 Current Occupation: my husband is a teacher and I work for the state government. Technically we are both Government employees, but I don't think "Government Official" applies, nor are we businesspeople or company workers. What should we put? 2.6 Itinerary in China: We arrive on July 23 but do not have any set itinerary. The school that will be employing him will be lodging us in a hotel while we search for apartments. We will be living there so it's not like we'll have an end date - although his contract ends in 2018 but we may stay longer. Any advice? 2.7 Who Pays for Expenses: Everything will be paid for by the school, both when we arrive and then our income will be the salary/benefits earned as wages. However, there will be personal costs incurred when we first arrive that we will be reimbursed for. Do we put his school's name in this section? 2.8 Information of Inviter: Is this the school's information? Technically they are inviting us but it's for employment. I feel like this box is more for tourists or people visiting family/friends. I have read to select 1 entry/3 months for our application since once we arrive we will register with the local government and will receive Residence Permits. Is that correct? Thank you to anyone willing to help me with this! We've successfully done visas to Russia but that was strictly tourism so this is much more intimidating! I appreciate any help!

1. Hi there! If there is no proper choice, you can check “Other” and specify your occupation.
2. You can just skip that section because it mainly for those who make a short trip to PRC for visiting friends or for business purpose. Or you can write the employment things.
3. You can just fill that the school and you yourself will pay for the expenses.
4. It’s the school information. You can fill it out.
It's correct. Because you will live for a long time in PRC, you will get the residence permit.
