How long are the resident visa's good for both duration and expiration?

my soon to be wife is Chinese and I am an American. Once we are married we want to live in her hometown, if I get my L type renewed and then upon arrival at her hometown can I immediately apply for a resident permit? I saw this posted above and wanted to know what else do I need to apply for?

2. Temporary Registration Form issued from the local Public Security Bureau.
3. Very recent photographs with receipt, they must be specified standard and less than 1-month old;
4. Application fee. (Expect change from 1, 000 RMB)

Jilin, you can’t get a resident permit with the L type. After you get married with your wife, you should apply for a Q1 type at your home country. Then within 30 days after you arrival at China, go to the local Exit and Entry Administration to apply for a residence permit. In addition to the documents you listed, you should also provide your wife’s ID card, invitation letter, and wedding book.
