Hello. I have been in the states as of July 16, 2010. I have been currently waiting for my paperwork to go through with my current employer in Shenyang, to receive my work permit and invitation. I received both in an email two days ago. I went to the Chinese embassy here in Los Angeles, where the worker told me that I needed my original copy. I tried to explain I am not sure how I am going to get my original mailed to me since I my flight leaves back to China this Tuesday August 16th. Can you give me any advice on what I can do in this situation? Do you know of any rush deliverys that can take place from China to Los Angeles? I was informed that I can receive my visa that same day if I arrive at 11am. I am hoping to receive the paperwork before Monday morning, and really pushing I can wait till Tuesday morning, since I don't leave until late Tuesday evening. Please if you have any suggestions on what to do, or if I can apply for a different visa. I arrive in China last December on a L visa, which was changed into a F visa and extended. I am not sure if I would be able to apply for another L visa, and get my work permit in Hong Kong. Thanks in advance for your help.
