Signed, Sealed and Almost Delivered

I finally will be making my way to China as have in hand a passport with a Peoples Republic of China (P.R.C.) work visa inside and a plane ticket from Portland, OR to Beijing China on Air Canada that departs PDX on Dec. 7 @ 10:15 AM!

If you’ve never seen an official P.R.C. approved Visa form, here is what mine looks like.

With a lot of help from Ms. Lea Walker of the Chinese Cultural Center, which is located in Columbia South Carolina, it took about 45 days altogether from the time I started to collect the necessary documents until it arrived on my door step. Here’s what I had to submit to be approved;

• Resume.
• Current Passport
• digital scan of my Oregon State University Diploma.
• A digital scan of a doctor signed physical exam form in both English & Chinese, that showed I was negative for every possible known disease to man (and a few I think only animals can get).
• Processing fee.
• Signed contract from Linyi Normal University.

There is also an official stamp that is placed in my passport that looks like this;
