The “info sharing “ means they are sharing your information with partners countries like USA Australia New Zealand etc, to check if you have been refused a prior visa or banned and so on.

The next step is the eligibility, which is the most important step of the application. If you pass it you’re 90% good to go. Then the final step will be the security check or background check and maybe a security screening ( which is a time consuming step). To see any progress about your...

Hi guys, let’s share our timeline here

Yes they do keep record in the GCMS/FOSS. During the eligibility step, they perform a GCMS/FOSS check to see if you have a previous application. That’s why if you had an UCI number in your previous application, that same UCI will be given in the new application

Hi, it’s totally normal. No worries. Mine was same. In China every notary office has his own method to proceed.

Thanks mate, I’ll wait then

Hi mate, I’m in the same boat. My GCMS notes show that my application has been approved and the rfv sent to Manila office since December 8th, 2017. But I still didn’t receive the e-mail. I’ve sent them an email, but they reply saying that I’m still in the six months processing timeline so they...

Background check

I used “Beijing expat service”. It took me about three weeks. First they tried to obtain the pcc covering my whole stay, then after failing to obtain it, they issued a letter of unobtainable certificate. I first contacted chodorow law office, but I didn’t choose them because they didn’t want to...

Ask to your employer if he did register your accommodation to the local police station. If he did, you’re good to go. You will just have to take that registration and go to the public notary office apply for your pcc.

I also went through a law firm to obtain a letter of unobtainable certificate, cause unfortunately I couldn’t get my pcc covering my whole stay in china. I’ve tried many ways and spent a lot of time trying to find a solution but none of them worked. You’re right it’s expensive but sometimes we...

The Chinese law states that the dates on the pcc are issued according to the accommodation registration at the local police station. So, did you register your accommodation? Which type of visa did you have ? Where did you live (which cities) ? How long did you stay in those cities ? After...

After AoR your application is locked and you are free to travel wherever you want.

For example if during your whole stay in china, you spent two weeks or one month in Shanghai you don’t have to provide a Shanghai pcc

You must provide a pcc from each city where you lived 6(6+) months

Mine too was in black and white, just the stamp was colored

Dear legal falcon, Thanks a lot for what you do for us. My question is: I'm arrived in one city on June 2015, then rented an apartment. But I went to register at the local police station on January 2016. So on the pcc I got, the date starts from January 2016. How can I explain this issue to...

Hi guys I'm in the same boat. I lived in China ( two cities) with my wife on student visa. First city from 2013 to June 2015; second city from June 2015 to January 2017. The pcc from the first city are ok, but the date on the second city pcc starts from January 2016 to January 2017. So there is...

I really don't know why.
