I had some questions about getting a new visa if you get kicked out.

You said that if kicked out, meaning if you overstay, you don't have to go back to your home country. I had this happen, where I had one of those visas that required you to leave every 30 days and come back twice, which I did not. Overstayed by 19 days, wasn't fined, warned instead, but was given an exit visa that said I must leave in 10 days.

I got to Hong Kong, tried to get a new visa, no luck. This was 7 weeks ago, and I am still stuck here, still being told it is impossible, and I must return to America, any ideas?

I find it hard to believe that simply going to Mongolia will get me a new visa. You see, once they open up your passport and see that exit visa with the little "star" where the visa type would be, the star being an asteric, they say no way, you must go home.

My question is, is there any way around this that is less costly.

I had heard, as did many others, that after Oct 17 or the 20th, I've heard both, that viss rules would return to pre olympic status. However this has yet to happen, and even before the olympics the counsel at the visa office tells me that it would still have been a problem.

I am really stuck, HK is expensive, and after 7 weeks I'm running out of money, and patience. If anyone has any relaiable information, please let me know. I've searched and searched for work by the way, but HK is far to competitive for me. Please, any help that can be given is greatly appreciated.
