Hello, Senior Consultant of Houpu Education (a leader in application for visiting scholars) will answer your questions.

1. prepare and submit the application materials for studying abroad in China. Prepare to apply for PETS as soon as possible.

2. When applying for foreign aid, you can apply for a cooperative tutor. At this time, the material you need to prepare is mainly a self-recommendation letter to the foreign director, and a detailed resume is attached, mainly including published papers and Presentation catalogue. After obtaining the qualification of public school, I got in touch with the foreign guide at the first time and roughly determined the possible visit time. He transferred the application materials to the secretary in charge of this matter, and the foreign materials such as invitation letter and DS-219 form were settled. Here, you may need some materials such as proof of public financial resources and proof that the unit agrees to the public school. Just prepare them as required.

3. Face-to-face interview preparation You can start preparing for the face-to-face interview appointment after you confirm that you have obtained the DS219 form. Before the interview, you need to do two things:

1) Pay the SEVIS fee. This is required by the United States for non-immigrants entering the country. Website and method can be obtained by online search. Print the receipt online after paying online! Give it to them when you get a visa.

2) fill in the DS16 visa application form online. Your search will find that earlier posts will mention forms 156, 157 and 158, and now it has been updated to fill in a DS16 application form. The specific process can be searched: the tutorial of filling in DS-16 form for J1 visa application and a Chinese sample (picture and text) are very detailed. It should be noted that at this time, you need two 2×2-inch photos with a white background and their electronic versions. DS16 needs this electronic photo when applying! Print the confirmation page after filling out the DS16 form!

4. Necessary materials for face-to-face signing: invitation letter, DS-219 (some people say that I need to sign in the lower left corner, but it doesn't matter if I don't actually sign it), visa fee, DS16 confirmation page, SEVIS fee receipt, 2×2-inch photo on a white background (I didn't find it useful, please prepare it) and proof of funds; Resume (including list of published articles), research plan (visa officer will read it! ), the resume of the foreign guide.

5. Once the flight booking and departure visa are passed, your passport will be left behind, and you need to go to the designated post office to handle the EMS mailing business.

I hope the above answers are helpful to you.
