First off, I'm so glad I found these forums. I have so many questions, I hardly know where to begin!
My husband has received a job offer from a California company BUT they want him to relocate. Originally, we discussed moving to Hong Kong, but now they say the office is in Shenzhen, near Window of the World. So is it even possible for us to live in Hong Kong?
The company is fairly small and closely held. They've never relocated an employee before, it seems, and have no knowledge of work visas, etc. This makes me very nervous. My husband is a graphic designer, and from what I've read, it's not so easy for designers to prove they have the specialized skills to be granted a work visa.
My husband is traveling to Shenzhen next week to see the work environment and hopefully get some answers about how relocation will be handled. I'll join him for a few days in Shenzhen and a few days in Hong Kong.
What does the company need to do to make the relocation possible? Will my husband need a work visa for HK, Shenzhen, or both? And if all these details can magically be worked out, which neighborhoods should we look at for housing? Any advice would be much appreciated!
