I want a 10yr permit with multiple entries to visit wife's family and for travel while there
We go to China every year for spring festival and to travel....I retire in 2016 and would like to get an extended Visa so I dont have to do it every two years and will consider a Chinese Permanent Residency card at a later date, but in the meantime, My wife, a Chinese National citizen, and I would like to be able to stay 4-5 months every year after 2016 even if we can only stay a maximum of 90 days without getting our permit stamped by exiting and reentering China....but I am not sure if S-2 or the Q-1 type would be the best to apply for. If you can let me know which would be better for us, I would appreciate it. Also, I plan to depart for China on 09 Feb.2015 so I would also like to know about how long it takes to process this request for a new one. If I am denied either one of these, would I have to resubmit it for a normal tourist L, or would it be granted with the same application? thanks, Mark rogers
