No need to be in Washington, DC: mail your passport and documents to us, and our Washington, DC team submits them, picks up your passport, and mails it back securely. All five US districts.
Tourist (L) · Business (M) · Family Visit (Q) · Private Visit (S) · Work (Z) · Student (X) — all available by mail
Reach us on WeChat, phone, or the booking form. Tell us your visa type, how many applicants, and your travel dates, and we'll send your checklist and quote.
Send your passport data page, photo, and invitation letter (if needed) electronically. For full service, we fill in the COVA form and hand-check every item.
Once the form passes preliminary review, mail the original passport (plus the printed barcode status page if you filed the form yourself) to our Washington, DC office by tracked courier.
We submit at the consulate, pick up your passport, and mail it back securely. We notify you at every step, and you can check progress on our website.
Full service (we file the form)
Submission & pickup only (you file the form)
Electronic copies are enough for everything else — a photo works, no scans needed. Mail the original passport only after the form passes preliminary review.
Wherever you live, a local agent in your district submits in person — you only ever mail your passport to us:
Outside the US? If you're in one of the US districts, you can still mail your passport to us for submission.
Three parts: form review takes about 3 business days (if you've had a Chinese visa before) or 4–5 business days (first time); consulate pickup is on the Embassy's pickup schedule (regular) or the 3rd (expedited, counting the submission day as day 1); plus mailing time both ways (usually 1–3 days within the US, 2–6 days to Hawaii and Guam).
In a hurry? Expedited service costs $25/person in government fees plus our expedite fee ($100/person full service, $50/person submission & pickup) and picks up 1 business day earlier. When you book, we'll count backward from your travel date and tell you the latest day to mail your passport.
Transparent pricing — government fees and service fees listed separately
Tourist (L) · Business (M) · Family Visit (Q1/Q2) · Private Visit (S1/S2) · Work (Z) · Student (X1/X2). Submission + pickup + return mailing.
Yes, if you do it right: use a tracked courier only — USPS Priority Mail Express, FedEx, or UPS — buy enough insurance, and keep the tracking number. We check and confirm receipt the moment it arrives, and return it the same tracked way, with updates at every step. Never send a passport by untracked regular mail.
Very rarely. Most tourist, business, and family-visit applications don't need an interview, and fingerprint collection is currently waived for short stays of 180 days or less. If the consulate ever asks you to appear in person, we'll tell you right away.
We notify you at every step. You can also check anytime on our Order Status page with your name and phone number.
For full service, please wait until the form passes preliminary review — that's the safest order. For submission-only service, your form is already approved, so you can mail the passport as soon as you have it. Before mailing, send us a photo of your passport data page so we can start the form.
USPS Priority Mail by default (with delivery confirmation). The $20 courier fee is charged once per case and address. FedEx or UPS return is available at extra postage.
