Thanks for the replies.

The agency asked her to get a tourist Visa then they would change it there in China. So she just has a multiple entry, no Z-visa. They are not paying her, she's just sitting in a run down hotel while they keep trying to get someone to hire her. She was told because she's an overweight black American with dreadlocks the Chinese schools don't want to take her. Is there any non racial part of China that will let her teach. She's been working with kids for 30 years and has a masters in education. She's been trying to find other jobs in Thailand, Africa and south America, but the legit jobs seem hard to find or only want volunteers.
