Regarding American immigrants, CR 1 applied for a Chinese visa for American citizens in China for six months.

Yes, she can apply for a visit or a tourist visa, then go to the entry and exit of your residence to apply for a residence permit, and then she can apply for a domestic CR 1. If it is a Z visa, you can apply without a residence permit after more than 6 months.

I just read your other questions. Your wife worked in China for a while before, and then for six months, right? How long has she been back? If the interval is too long, I'm afraid it won't work. It's just a residence permit for visiting relatives after entering the country on a short-term visa. If you have a residence permit and have been in China for six months, you can apply.

If you do not meet the requirements, you must apply in the United States. I know you want to apply in China as soon as possible, but recently, the domestic card application is very strict, and those who do not meet the requirements will not be accepted.
