Hi Everyone,
I am an American.
All my student and work visa/residence permit ran out at the end of 2017. I have been taking it easy since those jobs ended.
I got a 10 Year L visa, and have been on that, traveling around, visiting friends, etc.
Of course, several workplaces want to hire me.
My father, in the US, offered to go to the Chinese Embassies in the US to get my paperwork.
I am confused about the process:
1. Must I be physically back in the United States to process a Z visa, or any other appropriate visa? Or, could my father, a lawyer, process the documents on my behalf and send them to me?
2. Will any other visas do? I am willing to do that 90 day consultant visa, where I can leave the country and return every 90 days?
3. In the past, the criminal background check and diploma authentication was possible, yet there had to be Power of Attorney? Is that even possible now?
4. Of course, any website information would help, that could explain it in plain English. Also, I would be willing to pay $300 USD or so for any service in Los Angeles or Washington D.C. that could process for me.
Thanks
