Greetings all. First time here. Great site. I am so happy I found it. I have worked in China for a long time and married about 3 years ago. I have always had a Z/working visa as I have stayed here for over a decade. I am heading home(USA) to spend time with my mom and start setting up life back there to bring my family from China home to live with me. I have a question. I will be giving up working in China but would like to get residence here. For example: Holding a working visa now which expires on Nov. 1st. (i'll be in the States at that time) I have plans to come back to China next summer. I do not plan to get another working visa I want what i heard is a family visa. Q1 or Q2 or something like this. The PSB here in Fuzhou said that I should come back into China on a tourist visa then go visit them with my family and apply for residency. has anyone done this? thanks - Alien
