I've heard from someone while waiting in line at the lama temple PSB that he knew someone who overstayed 1 year, after turning himself in he had to do something like 30 days in jail or something. But then again, your face might be prettier than his, so you just might just luck out and do no time. It's all on the mood of the officer doing your paperwork. If he/she had a great weekend, you probably won't do anytime, but if that officer had a rough weekend or like usual, a busy week, you might have to spend sometime in jail. I really hope for the first one as I really don't know what is going to happen to me. In your situation, I would take any advantage I can get. I would definitely go in on Mondays as officers are usually refreshed from the weekend. Another thing is as a woman, you should look for a male officer as they are more likely to feel some sympathy for you whereas a female officer won't feel as much sympathy. Don't forget to look down as they will look at you as they are inputting your information in. Also write an apology letter to the PSB with maybe an explanation why you haven't taken care of this before. Another thing is that if they tell you to wait, or to come back later, don't leave and stand or sit in there view as it will cause them to think about you and feel some sorrow for you and will help with your verdict. You also need a temp residence permit as Shanghai visa office can only offer visas to people in Shanghai. Read my story below on how I did it. Remember, they have the power to do anything they want to you as you have overstayed for 3 YEARS!!! Bring everything into the PSB and wish for the best as I am going to tomorrow. Pray for a happy officer and Good Luck!!
