In response to F Visa from Hong Kong? Please Help! need info! - ESL discussion (Monica and Fayaz www.conkaba.piczo.com GREAT Teachers!)

USA passports cannot get same-day visa crossing the border from Hong Kong as of April 2004. They must apply through the consulate only.

You can get a visa (F) if you have the correct documents which are required for an F visa, which usually consist of a company letter.
