visa lording update

When my hypothetical friend that was having issues with her school getting her visa in my previous posts flew into Changchun after her trip, a caretaker type guy from her school picked her up and informed her that they were spending the night in Changchun. A few of the other teachers were to meet them in the morning so everyone could get physicals for their visas. She and the guy that had gone to Hong Kong got theirs, along with three women that had been teaching at the school for like three years that all already had visas. The place they got the physicals was basically a physical factory; it was a medical office that only did physicals for visas and cranked them out ridiculously quickly for tons of people.

When she finally got back to Songyuan, she asked her school owner when he would send her to Hong Kong again with her correct paperwork. She basically told him she was leaving if it wasn't in the next two weeks. He promised her that by July 10th she'd be there, it was going to take some time to cancel her old, incorrect documents and reapply for them.

She's going on holiday again soon, and is supposed to be gone until July 8th, so when she leaves she just going to have all of her stuff packed up, and if he doesn't send her, she won't return, she'll head straight to the next city she plans to live in. At least that's her plan. She'll lose her flight money and a month of pay in that instance though, which really sucks.

On the upside, the guy pretty much knows not to mess with her as long as she's actually at the school, so he didn't end up trying to deduct money from her pay for the first failed Hong Kong trip.
