      Applying as a family with stable jobs makes it easier to get approved.

        I'm a 'new' Shanghainese, own a house and car here. Applied as a family of three (we didn't bring our child). My job isn't great – private company, average income. Our combined annual income is 700k RMB before tax. And yet, a 'smooth' rejection.

              Does having Japanese and Australian visas increase the chances of approval?

                Having an Australian visa significantly increases the chances. I only have a Japanese one; I haven't traveled enough.

                  I just had my interview in Shanghai, answered three questions, and passed.

                      A quick, maybe naive question: will having been to Russia impact my chances?

                        Given the current situation, it probably has some impact.

                          Shanghainese applicants with property, a car, and a job in the public sector or a large state-owned enterprise usually get their visas smoothly approved.

                            I'm from out of town, blank passport, married, own property. Had to submit an additional resume, and got a 'semi-smooth' approval.

                              Ah, my appointment is in June. I'm getting nervous. Do you think they have KPI quotas or something?

                                It's not explicitly stated, but it's possible they do. If your own qualifications aren't particularly strong, it might be better to hold off. Even with excellent credentials, approval is never 100% guaranteed.
