Hi

I am an Indian national currently in US. My next assignment is in China, starting Jan next year. My company, based out of India, applied for my Z-visa.

I got my Visa notifcation and Work permit approval yesterday. I have the following questions regarding the visa:

1. My Visa notification says " Please get the visa issued from chinese embassy in India...."

As mentioned, I am currently in SF Bay Area in US. Can I get the stamping done in Chinese Consulate, San Francisco, showing this letter or do i need to get a new visa notification?

2. We are expecting our first child in last week of Nov. Hence earlier I didnt apply for dependent visa for my wife and yet to be born kid.

Once the kid is born, can I take them along with me for my stamping and get the dependant visa by showing the birth and marriage certificates?

3. My visa notification mentioned my visa as "Single entry" - How easy / difficult is to get it converted to "Multiple Entry" at the time of visa stamping?

4. My visa duration is for 365 days. Do I need to provide any medical reports for my visa stamping?

5. If my parents want to visit me later in china, is it possible to show them as my dependants ( they actually are) or do they have to come on visitor visa?

Thanks in advance
