About:Chinese Embassy in U.S.A.

I am a US citizen, and I will spend one year on an unpaid fellowship with the Beijing office of a US-based non-profit organization. The organization is recommending that I obtain a tourist visa, but it seems that an F visa might be more appropriate. Would an L visa be ok since I will not be paid, even though I'm doing research and helping the organization? And if not, what would the organization need to do to help me apply for an F visa? For example, what information would they need to put in the invitation letter and would this cost them anything? Are there any special rules since they are US-based organization? Thanks!

You should apply for a F visa. They have to use their stamped paper (with their organization name, address, phone number and fax number) to write the invitation letter for you, and they have to put in your name, sex, birth, passport No., address, family phone number, inviting purpose, who will affpord your expense in China and the time they write the letter. Finally, the person who invite you have to sign his/her name.
