questions about the f visa

Question

What does the invitation letter (which I will receive from a friend) contain, and how long does it last? And during my stay am I allowed to leave the country (for a week or two max) and come back? Thank you for all Your help!

Roxan, do you go to China to visit your friend? If so, I think you should apply for an L type rather than the F type. The invitation letter should contain information about you and the friend and information about the planned visit. The F or L type usually lasts for three months. If you get a single entry permit, you can't leave the country and come back. If you get double or multiple entries, you will be allowed to leave and then back.
