Thanks to all of you. I'll wait to see what will be the new visa procedure. I can come to China in the fall. I can wait for that.

Just do it now, dear boy, Autumn will herald stricter visa regulations if anything, as sure as eggs is eggs. You know you can do it now(at least I'm telling you you can) You don't know what Autumn will bring; just get galvanised. Anyway, the visa procedure is the least of your worries-not having a degree is the thing that won't get easier when the Autumn leaves fall. Think vernal and not Autumnal.
