Hey all,

 

So I have a question that hopefully people who did your interview in China. 

 

My wife is a Egyptian National and we have reached the interview phase.  Our interview is scheduled for August 30th.  My question is this, she passes the interview and hands over her passport. When will she get it back?  I can't stay there until its ready, as school starts that week, and I have classes to teach..  She can't get on a flight back to Beijing without it.  Will she have to stay in Guangzhou until its ready?  Or will they issue a special travel document?

 

Obviously we would prefer to interview and come home (we both have jobs) and have the passport sent to us.  But maybe that might not be the case.

She can return home and mail the passport from there. Have her make arrangements at the interview.

This would normally be true but if her passport is needed as ID to board a flight from CAN to PEK, then she'll need to wait in Guangzhou.

?? She can return to her home in Beijing with the passport, and mail it from there. Arrangements to do so can be made at the interview.

 

This is a not uncommon procedure for non-Chinese nationals. Chinese citizens can travel with their Chinese ID,  but foreign nationals need a passport.
