[quote=GUEST20227,505037]My daughter had the same problem as GUEST72475. She was told to purchase the plane tickets 4-6 weeks before the orientation, and that the visas would be worked out by mid-August. Then she was told to go to Hong Kong (not reimbursed for THAT travel) to get the visa after orientation. Then she was told to just wait til October altogether, and "MAYBE" the visa situation would be resolved then. If you're a legitimate employer, you don't tell your employees (especially not recent college graduates who have loans and a million and one other worries on their minds) when to fly over to a foreign country then change your story 2 days before the flight. She (and all of us as a family in supporting her) followed everything Ameson told us to do, but she got ripped off in the end. it's kind of hard to have a "back up" job, or even "back up" housing for some people, so she considers herself quite lucky. Ameson turned out to be a bust for her, although interesting sidenote, her friend who is doing the program says that none of the teachers he has met with Ameson got any of their top 5 city preferences (NONE; I can understand getting something in the top 5 at least, but nobody can report getting anything on their top 5?) and that some were being sent alone to random cities not on the initial list (which I have a copy of). In addition, she heard that some people have been assigned to teach high school chemistry, history, and geography, when the program advertises "teaching English in China to children". This program sounds like it just wants American butts plugged into Chinese classrooms to get accolades. It's a chance for college grads to see China, but it comes with a lot of lies along the way. If it works out for some, great. But buyer beware.[/quote]
