Chris Two Times Posted July 16, 2016 at 01:56 AM Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 at 01:56 AM (edited) I did receive an email from the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC dated Friday, July 15th. I take it as a good sign but it is a strange email. For starters, I was amused that it was an email that was sent to more than 50 people and it wasn't bcc'ed so I can see everyone's names and email addresses! Well, the salutation wasn't addressed to me but to the people of the first three email addresses on the list only (EDITED: actually I looked at it again and it appears that I am included in the salutation. It states "Dear Chinese Government Scholarship Candidates" and then three names of representatives at institutions that will receive scholarship winner name lists). My email address is near the bottom third of the list. I read the following in the first two paragraphs of the email: Thank you very much for your participation and patience for our Chinese Government Scholarship Program this year. We are expecting to receive the results for China Scholarship Council in July. We will let you know as soon as we have them. According to our past experiences, we will need to send certain paper documents to each scholarship winner in order for them to submit as visa application material. Therefore, I am writing to ask each of you provide me with a mail address and phone number(s) in the following format, using myself as an example: So, it seems that perhaps I am a step closer. In past years being asked to email and confirm mailing addresses and phone numbers was a good sign as it meant that documents (JW 201/202?) will soon be on their way. I feel good about things and am calm and patient still. I mentioned before that I am facing the usual burden of finishing my tenure at a workplace and emptying an apartment and moving out. Usually these things are tedious and stressful, but I welcome them this year because they have kept my mind off of this waiting game. Folks! The sands in the hourglass are indeed running out. The time will soon come--as with all things, only a matter of time now.

Chris Two Times Posted July 16, 2016 at 02:11 AM Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 at 02:11 AM @MissLuLu I too am from Ohio. That would be really awful if they waited until the 28th to send us our documents. I emailed my school that's told me I've won the scholarship and asked about registration dates and moving in. I'd like to buy a plane ticket soon. How is the visa going to work if they wait that long? It seems very unfair and scary if it's that long it'll become a rat race trying to get all of our things together before our departure. Chris are you already in China? I'm still in the US, if they waited that long to tell us the results would I have time to get my visa? Thank you @hannafit I agree with MissLuLu, make plans NOW on how you will proceed to procure (oh! alliteration!) the visa, whether it be applying directly with the Embassy (you said you are in/near DC?) or using an agency. As long as you move as soon as you get the documents, the turnaround on that shouldn't be problematic. As I am from Ohio, I will head to the Chinese Consulate for the consular district Ohio is in--in New York City (I lived in the NYC for 3 years and have friends there, so a Consulate visa run would coincide nicely with a visit). In the past I have shown up first thing Monday morning at the Consulate and had visa in hand first thing Thursday morning. Again, I am already planning my steps on how to do this so I can then proceed swiftly and ... hopefully painlessly. Even if we don't get our documents until the end of July, I imagine that we could nail this down during the first week of August--plenty of time before heading off to China at the end of August/beginning of September. Indeed, I am currently in Beijing finishing up my work of two years. This works for me because I will leave most of my stuff here with a friend. I will leave Beijing on July 21st and plan to be back around September 1. @TyO I have not bought a plane ticket yet, but I will do so within the next week. I will be in Beijing in September, scholarship or not, so when to get the plane ticket hasn't been an issue for me. I am just procrastinating and being lazy with it, lol. I know, I know--time is money. Warm regards, Chris Two Times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyO Posted July 16, 2016 at 10:51 AM Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 at 10:51 AM @Chris Two Times Got the email as well! Seems like the embassy may be more on top of things and it just hinges on how fast the csc gets them the documents. I'm feeling better about it as well, but of course that email still seems a bit ambiguous to me. Not a 100% confirmation but it's something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abou Posted July 16, 2016 at 02:28 PM Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 at 02:28 PM @ELIJAH thank you bro, for those who knows; i have not do the medical examination yet, and I plan to do it in china, i have a myopia, is that will be a problem to me? thanks for your responces guys!

ELIJAH Posted July 16, 2016 at 03:32 PM Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 at 03:32 PM @abou On the health form, eye test was not one of the items listed. Also, myopia is basically gene-linked and it is not contagious. I think they only bother about health situations that could be potentially deleterious to their citizens. The myopia will not stand in your way. Cheers bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josesierrag Posted July 16, 2016 at 03:41 PM Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 at 03:41 PM I did the medical examination in February, so I suppose I'll have to do it again once I arrived in China. Any of you have done it there? Any problem or complication doing it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted July 16, 2016 at 10:24 PM Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 at 10:24 PM @Cantabile - if your ECG has expired you will need to re-do it. @Josesierrag - many do it in China and most schools will help students get an appointment. Some very organized schools even book a specific time for the nurses to come to the university for foreign students to complete their physical examinations.

Razumihin Posted July 17, 2016 at 12:59 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 at 12:59 AM Congratulations Elijah! It is great to see you receive the scholarship since you have been so enthusiastic in updating the list and helping others. I'm very happy for you to receive it this year. I feel very calm waiting for my own results, I have done my best and now can only pray for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paraprove Posted July 17, 2016 at 02:12 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 at 02:12 AM Congratulations Elijah and others who got the scholarship. My physical examination will be expired by the time I arrive there so I'll do mine 2weeks before I leave for China. That should safe me some money.
