Cheers! I’m hoping that we will be able to schedule our medical and interview tomorrow. Should I update the spreadsheet or just post in the case complete to interview forum?

Hey Guys, got my Case number and just paid my AOS fee. Waiting to for payment to process but working on gathering the fun financial stuff. Will be submitting 2017-2019 tax returns instead of the tax transcript due to IRS not able to obtain it.  Question to you guys for those who are turning in tax returns, other than the 1040s and w2's, as part of the tax return part would you include the following worksheets/papers that was part of the submittal:

• "Tax History Report" 
• Qualified Dividend and Capital Gains Tax Worksheet
• Tax Payment Worksheet
• Federal Carryover Worksheet
• All 4 bullets above Say " Keep for your records" but wasn't necessarily submitted to the IRS with the tax return.

Thanks!

Hello All,

 

Has anyone had experience obtaining a police certificate in china. It has become a bit complex for a foreigner currently living in china seeking to obtain a police certificate. If there is anyone who has had first had experience obtaining same. Can you post the steps. I have read several things online but it has lead to nowhere . Based in Shaanxi province. 

Hello,

 

I've worked in Shanghai for 2 years so I had to get Police cert in China. As it's not practical for me to fly to China to get it (obviously not possible to get it within a few days), I used an agency in China to apply for me.

 

Based on my research, there isn't really an "accredited" agency that does this. Some law firms or visa service agencies do a lot of this work though. I sent enquiries to 3 different agencies. Their fees vary - one estimated for USD 650, others were CNY 3,000-4000. They will also tell you if they are able to handle your case based on your situation/where you live.

 

www.visainchina.com

www.beijingesc.com  (Read their blogs. They have very detailed guidance on how you can get it yourself, as the procedures vary depending on which city you live/lived).

www.chinatraveldocs.com

 

I ended up using the first one. A person named Elva handled my case. She's very detailed and nice. It took me just over a month to get it.

Hi! 

 

I just did the process in Shanghai. 

 

First, I went to a Notary Public Office to find out the exact requirements. Looks like it varies by city. I went with a Chinese friend, just to have some backup. They asked me for the following:

 

1. Tax statements from the entire time I've lived in China (was only able to obtain the last three years). I went to my district's tax bureau and they printed them out for me.

2. Original labor contract and/or work permit from any jobs I've had during the time I've lived here (was only able to obtain it from my current job) and a photocopy of each

3. Dated letter from my current employer with a company seal stating I have no criminal record

4. Original passport and any other passports I have had visas in as well as photocopies of all stamps/visas from these

5. Temporary housing registration form and photocopy

 

I was fully prepared to only get a partial police certificate since I had no proof other than my residence permits that I was actually employed by my previous employer - they no longer had my original labor contract or work permit. Just in case you are in a similar issue, I would record every instance you tried to get the necessary paperwork for your police certificate, with dates and times. I was prepared to submit this to show proof as to why I couldn't obtain a full PCC. However, I got lucky and had a very kind notary public officer assigned to my case when I went in with all my paperwork. He agreed to issue me a PCC for the full time I was there. I requested it about a week ago and he said it would take 2-3 weeks, so I am still waiting to pick it up. I paid around 200 RMB for it. 

 

Hopefully you have all the relevant paperwork and won't feel the stress I did!!!

 

I'd suggest you go in with a friend (if your Chinese isn't fluent) and have as much paperwork ready as possible!! Hopefully you won't even need everything they asked from me.

Thank you so much for your help. This was quite helpful. We were able to secure the police certificate. Luckily, we had a friend who was bilingual and fluent in both Chinese and English.  Got it notarized and translated and cost only about 300 RMB.
