Thx Ben the other PDF I got must have been way out of date. Our lives would be much easier if the Chinese GOV accepted dual nationality (dream on) and if the UK GOV visa process especially for my wife was much more simplified.
Wouldn’t it though… The wife is convinced through the mixed family group on qq… that getting the Chinese passport applying for the US visa and then reporting and getting the US passport is the way to go…
The consulate mentioned that we could get the American Passport later, but said it was better to do it early.. I don’t know if this is a paperwork complication thing, or her being able to prove it if something were to happen to me and I wasn’t here.
As far as the right of abode. That doesn’t exist for Americans that I have found.
As far as the visa it is possible to transfer or carry the old passport with you if you have the right kind.. I think you can also fill out a form and pay a small fee to have them do it as well..
The visa should be able to be transferred to the new passport. And as far as the advantage her having the choice later in life I suppose is the biggest reason. Education, Travel and so on..
Seems the wife has found a group where the 10 year visa thing is a common way of doing it now..
I tried that once and it didn’t work.. Just tried it again and now it there. hmm go figure.. no resetting of the phone yet.. whoohoo..
I did a ten year stint in korea.. and you would think a University would have some kind of game plan but hell nothing surprises me anymore..
I am wondering if I am going to have to factory reset my iPhone.. Its factory unlocked but I purchased it in korea when I was living there still.
Thanks for the advice Charlie.. I haven’t seen another foreigner as of yet.. work is supposed to start in a week but I haven’t heard anything about an orientation where the hell my classes are or anything.. I will assume china is similar to korea in that everything is done last minute. lol…
the right of abode might be a British thing… I have never heard of it but will check into it for sure. I have even thought about getting the Chinese passport get the 10 year American visa then apply for the American passport. will give me 10 years in theory
Question to all of you Dads/ Moms out there to be or already have… How did you choose or decide on the passport issue.. Specifically America. I have read up on the leaving the country on one then switching and then using the other… The consulate basically said its up to the mood of the guy/girl at the counter if they grant a visa on a Chinese passport if you already have an American one.. I plan on being here long term.. So just curious what people have done or any advice they might have… 4 weeks to go until that paperwork nightmare starts.. lol…
is there a trick to getting wechat wallet on you phone? I have tried the English to Chinese and back.. It shows up when its Chinese but not in English… I am on an iPhone 6
what are some alternatives for google play.. I just got here and have a samsung note pro 12.2 tablet.. And I am going to assume that to see the link above you need to be on a vpn?
My wife an I are expecting this October. However, I will not be in country until mid to late July.. Waiting on the Visa paperwork. If you still have it then I would be interested in it.
Hello Maz,
Yeah that helps a little. Are you still currently working there? How is the pay compared to the cost of living there? do you live on or off campus? As I mentioned I am making the big move so trying to get the best deal between the two.. But I also like a good working environment the people I work with now are pretty much like family here.
Thanks for the info.. If you have any other insights I will take all I can get.
