our application was received in Miss on June 30th, still waiting to hear back from them. My husband and I are both non-Chinese living in Jiang-su province on my teaching visa and applying through Beijing.

@kiki - sorry to hear its taking so long, it seems like some people through Beijing get their visas so quickly. Where in China are you and what kind of visa do you have?

 

[kiki_lala]

@che.the.spy I'm holding a working Z visa and currently living in Henan. It is stressful I must say knowing that most people here got their PR's in less than 4 months and in our case we are still waiting...

@kiki_lala
I'm an applicant of Beijing too and still waiting Beijing process time.
For your case;
Did you make any phone contact to Beijing?
Normally they didn't take time so much for this stage in China,but sometime they did.No worry so much And then didn't you summit marriage certificate or show any strong relationships between your both with application while delivered to M ?

Hope you will be receive PP with visa soon!
Good luck to you!

@kiki
1more Q,
Do you staying with your sponsor in China now?

 

[kiki_lala]

Thanks @fast.
yes, my husband lives here with me, we submitted everything (marriage certificate, photos, etc) along with our application. I think if I don't get response by Tuesday we're calling them to ask for my passport to be returned so I can extend my Chinese visa.

How long take time for process in China?
Because on web say 4months ,but kiki-lala is waiting more than 4months.
Best way I think,you ought to make a call as fast as you can .
But don't worry too much because somewhere they do like that.

Of couse not!!!Also you can remind about your China visa status,maybe they did mistake your PP,who know!
Good luck,

 

[kiki_lala]

They called me! Apparently, they didn't receive my CSQ (which I sent to them in April) and we had a confirmation from Quebec that another original was sent a long time ago. Anyway, long story short. I've been told that I will have my Permanent Visa tomorrow!!!! Yey!

 

[Burma]

Oh!! CongTs!
Happy new life in CA!
