Q: What schools or workplaces have you run into problems with?

Let's help our brothers and sisters out with creating a list of problematic work places that have threatened, canceled visas, lied about pay and everything else we can think of. I deal with some legalities with a lot of foreigners in China. Some are really the foreigners fault so please do not list schools for foreigners being here and doing bad things, others have legitmate claims but have no real power to act in China. So far, most of the foreigners I've had to help come from EF (English First) all around China.

Yes, I've heard Kid Castle is a problem training school. So EF and Kids Castle are the first two listed. Is there enough information to warn people about kids castle?

Yes, Aston has been a severe problem with foreigners, of course alot of training schools cause a lot of trouble, usually be cause they are well connected in the PSB and Foreign Affairs Office.
Let's keep them coming, I would like as many foreigners to participate as possible to ensure that these schools don't hurt foreigners

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 from student to labourer visa 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
