[8 / 1 / ?]
Hey /trv/, first time I've visited this board but I'm hoping someone here can help me out, or at least point me in the right direction.
I've been hired for an English teaching position in China, more specifically in the city of Changchun in the Jilin province. I have signed and sent all the required documents for my visa, except for my Non-Criminal Record. Unfortunately, due to a stupid mistake 6 months ago, I have a single misdemeanor on my record and I don't know how I should proceed. Because the indecent was less than a year ago I can't have it expunged from my record, creating a bit of a problem. I'm hoping someone here who has either gone through the system or knows more can advise me on my next course of action.
The way I see it, I have a few options. I could buy a fake online somewhere (but I don't know where I would even look for that). I could get a print out of my criminal record from my local police department, scan it, and then photoshop the single misdemeanor out of it (but it still has to get certified by the Chinese Embassy so if they check they would see it's faked). Finally, I can always tell the company about the misdemeanor and hope they are still able to get me a visa to come work (but apparently the restrictions for a work visa are getting tighter and I don't know if I could get one without all the required documents).
If you have any advice or knowledge that may help me please let me know. If you prefer to communicate privately I can give you my email. I would be devastated if my stupidity kept me from this opportunity, I'm desperate /trv/, please help me.
