TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus is that applying for the DTV visa in China is not advisable. It is recommended to apply from other countries such as Laos or the Philippines. Additionally, many consulates in China only accept applications from legal residents.

We don't recommend applying for the DTV visa in China. It's better to do it outside of China, we recently had several Chinese students who got approved with our school. They applied from Laos and Philippines.

Let me know if you have anymore questions! We have over 300 students approved successful so we're quite familiar with the process.
