My wife is a Chinese citizen living in mainland China.
She needs to send me an invitation letter for my Q1 visa application. Should it be written in English, Chinese or both? I am an American. I read somewhere that she needs to write two invitation letters. One addressed to the Chinese Embassy informing them that she has invited me and the other one addressed to me which is my invitation from her. Is that true?
Will I be able to book a one-way flight to China and allowed entrance? I plan on staying for at least a year and I'm not sure when I will return. I actually plan on getting a teaching job after I arrive to China and the mandatory Z type.
I already have a valid tourist L type. Could I possibly forego getting the Q1 type altogether and enter with my L type, and while I am there apply for the temporary residence permit?
