X1 Visa - What to put for Itinerary and longest intended stay (v2013)

[radiumstar]

I'm currently filling in the visa application form (V.2013) which I would like to submit asap. I will be studying chinese for 2 semesters (1 year).

 

However, I am confused about what to put for the following questions in part 2:

 

1) Longest intended stay in China among all entries

2) Itinerary in China (in time sequence，may type on separate paper)

3) Information of inviter in China

 

For 1), should I put 1 year?

 

For 2), I will be looking for accommodation once I arrive. I will just stay in Shanghai. What can I put for date and address?

 

For 3), should I just put the name of my university?

Do you have the option to complete an online application instead?  Some countries now insist on it.  

 

If so then you will only be prompted to answer the relevant questions.  I think #2 itinerary is only for tourist visas, possibly the others aren't applicable to an X1 either.

 

The application isn't fully online, but it generates a PDF of the form with all the details you fill in, so you can print it off.
