Dear Turnoi,

Thank you so much for your quick reply. It is good news. I have noticed that you help a lot of people on this forum, your input is very valuable to some of us.
If I may, I would like to ask you another question regarding the work permit. When the employer offered me the job they send me a "sample contract", that is how they called it, explaining that it was from the "government" and that I should sign it and send it back to them. And that with this sample contract they would be able to apply for a work permit. They did, however, say that it was not a "final contract with the school". I did as requested, as I was then sure that I was going to China, but they never send it back signed to me. This "government contract"has worried me a bit, do you know anything about this?
Thank you.

Elisa.
