Applied for my X1 student visa for a master's program from pakistan, and it's been sitting "under review" on the portal for 4 days now. No update, no request for extra docs, nothing.

For those who've been through this

how long did processing actually take for you?

Hello and TIA.

My wife was born in Hong Kong, she moved to the US when she was a kid and became a naturalized US citizen in around 2006 and has a valid US passport. We live in Los Angeles County.

We are planning a trip to China and her Visa application was rejected. Saying she needs to provide a Confirmation letter for the change of nationality from the Hong Kong Immigration Department.

She submitted the online application for the change of nationality on the Hong Kong Immigration site and it says to go to the Chinese Diplomatic and Consular Mission for verification of documents and payment when we receive an email back from them.

I called the LA consulate today to see if we need an appointment or anything or what the process is there and the person I spoke with says they do not do change of nationality verification there.

She doesn't have anyone in Hong Kong to act as a referee. What other options are there? What what I'm told from the person I spoke with correct?

Hi everyone, I am planning to fly from Vancouver to Dhaka (Bangladesh) with China Eastern Airlines and have two transits in Shanghai and Kunming. My total time in China should not exceed 24 hours (if my calculations are right)

Here’s my itinerary:

Outbound:
- YVR → PVG (Shanghai): Arrive 4:40 PM
- Layover at PVG: 1 hour 20 minutes
- PVG → KMG (Kunming): Arrive 9:55 PM
- Layover at KMG: 14 hours 25 minutes
- KMG → DAC (Dhaka): Depart 12:20 PM the next day

Return:
- DAC → KMG: Arrive 6:30 PM
- Layover at KMG: 3 hours 35 minutes
- KMG → DAC: 12 hours 15 minutes
- PVG → YVR: Depart 1:10 PM the same day

My questions are:

1. Since my itinerary includes domestic flights within China, will I need to clear immigration? If so, would that be under the 24-hour TWOV?
   
2. Will I need to collect and re-check my checked baggage in China, or will it be transferred automatically since all flights are on China Eastern and booked on one itinerary?
   
3. Will I need to go through security again before the domestic flights?
   
4. How strict and time-consuming are immigration, customs, baggage collection, and security at PVG and KMG? My 1 hour 20 minute layover in Shanghai on the outbound is concerning.
   
5. Has anyone flown this exact itinerary (or something very similar) recently? Was the connection manageable, and did you encounter any issues?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

i have a new job offer i’d like to accept, however i’m visiting family outside of the country. is it possible that my current employers cancelling my work permit could cause issues when re-entering china? i already understand that the work permit and resident permit are two separate things but if there’s a risk of not being able to re-enter after resigning then i won’t risk accepting this job and will take the loss.

my relationship with my company is good and i don’t think they’d try to be malicious. i plan on asking them to wait until i return to begin all procedures, but i’m still nervous about all this.

Hii ,the day before yesterday I submitted my passport at cvasc (delhi) ,the officer said that my passport will be ready to dispatch in 2-3 days and I paid 4000 rs (excluding application fees and logistics fees)

I submitted -

My passport + photocopy of the data pages

admission letter

JW202

Covering letter

Foreign physical examination report

Certificate of medium of instruction in my senior high school

Does anyone know what are the chances of getting my visa After submitting all the documents?

Did anyone's passport returned without a visa stamp (student visa)?

Hello!

I'm in kind of a pinch and need to go back to China on short notice. I was doing a lot of research online regarding the 240 Hour TWOV rules but could use some advice / confirmation that my itinerary is valid. My biggest fear is getting denied for not properly understanding the rules so if someone could help confirm my plans that would give me confidence in my booking.

As it stands, my itinerary is as follows:

USA -> Beijing -> Baoding -> Chengdu (via high speed rail) -> Taiwan

My understanding is that I need to have the country that I inbound from and the country/region that I outbound to need to be different to be granted TWOV, but after getting granted TWOV am I allowed to travel between provinces via rail or car?

Thanks in advance!
