I think its nearly impossible, although if you got some connection you might be able get a "degree" from the univ considering you spent 3 years there, of course its a bullshit in a piece of paper. Welcome to China, if your friends wanna pursue education/knowledge i would advise you guys to go somewhere else, Taiwan, HK, or Singapore don't stay here. But if its only getting certificate and a degree you can go for the "top univ" in here, Wuhan university for example.

I normally don't reply to 'anonymous' posters, but I'll make an exception, cos it looks like a legitimate question - and I can sort of understand why you'd make it anon.

 

Yes, you can sue.

 

Will you win? Unlikely. Universities tend to have a lot of guanxi (ie, power) because they have contacts all over the place - especially in the legal and political system... mostly because of people like you - foreigners who give them lots of money... which can then be spent on bribing the local officials.

 

Best thing you can do is make  your situation VERY public!!! (lie, if you have to) tell the university that you know a lot of people in the media (that you used to go to high school with, or some other such BS) and they'll print lots of bad advertising in your country, telling possible new students not to go to that university. (if that doesn't work on its own, do up an image of a newspaper, with the headlines indicating the university... use photos of the university and the president/ head of Foreign Affair/ etc...). You're obviously not a native English speaker, so do it in your own language - they'll never have anyone who can understand it, but they'll get the photos!

You must be feeling pretty lonely man. Ahh obsessive compulsive disorder? Do feel like you have to reply to everyone in a sarcastic way or are you just seeking attention?

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
