Q: American embassy in Beijing - the line to heaven?

I had to renew my passport the other day in Beijing, and I arrived there early (Thursday morning) and found an unbelievably long long that snaked from the metal lattice gate, through the inside courtyard, passed the security check, all the way into the halls of the embassy's ground floor. There were perhaps 15-20 booths in there and hundreds of Chinese.

Of course, I just had to show my passport to walk past them all, but damn, made me feel happy to be American. Another American passed me and pointed to the Chinese, saying most people were here but had already been rejected 4 or 5 times.

Got me wondering, what's the statistics on this? How often does the States grant visas to Chinese here? Is it a fool's errand?

Considering how great the likes of wenna7 say it is here, if you go to any western embassy it's like that, goes to show if possible most would choose to leave here!! Laughing out loud I've heard many say "I'm never going to leave China, I love China, the next thing you know they latched onto a foreigner and moved or applied to immigrate... Liars... Wink I believe they say that to save face in case they get turned down by immigration or in wenna7's case find it impossible to sink their claws into a western man... Laughing out loud

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
