I was just offered a job with a multinational company in Hangzhou,China for a year-long stint. So far I have submitted my resume/degree diploma and now I have fedex my original medical documents w/ 5 passport size photos to the hiring company. Although I know the company knows the visa procedures, I was wondering if you could outline some of the upcoming procedures and how close I am to getting the necessary documents in order to apply for the Z-visa. Also, how long does it take for the company to obtain the letter of invite and work permit approved by the local government bodies? I'm not sure if it's true but I read that multinational companies have the automatic authorization to issue the aforementioned documents. I appreciate all feedback and information provided to better prepare me for the unknown.
Thanks,
Aaron
