Hi. I'm an American living in the U.S. My wife is a Chinese citizen living on the mainland.
I have a tourist visa already. But I have sold my house here in the U.S. with the intention of living with my wife and teaching English in Chongqing.
I do not yet have a job offer to teach English but the school I enrolled my wife into has said they will grant me an interview after I complete my TEFL certification.
Would the school in China be able to apply for my Z type if I am living in China with an S type? Or would I need to return to the U.S. to receive the Z type? Should I postpone applying for the S type and instead wait for a job offer and the Z type? I will be 59 yo next month with plenty of savings to meet the financial responsibility requirements of an S type.
I wish to be with my wife as soon as possible, even though I don't have a job offer at this time. But then again, I don't want to ruin or complicate my ability or chances of receiving a job offer and the Z type.
Thank you,
Alan
