First time getting China Visa after Citizenship
Bill & Li Hong posted a topic in Citizenship Process
After talking to a visa company they told me I was pretty much on my own getting the first visa for Li Hong to go to China. he wasn't 100% sure of the proses but thought she may have to go to the embassy in Chicago and Renounce her citizenship to China. I am looking at expediting her passport $$$ but am wondering if China would still hold things up so she can't make it to China for the New Year. Lucky it come late this year! Please help with your process and time line. Thanks! Bill & Li Hong -
Hey everyone, The wife and I are planing to fly back to China for the entire month of May. We were looking at flights from JFK to Hong Kong, stay in HK for a few days before going by bus to the Mainland where we'll be spending most of the trip, then leaving from HK to come back to the States. My question is which visa to apply for? The embassy website shows, of course, the L visa, but the Q1 visa shows as an option for foreigners who have family in China who are Chinese citizens (parents-in-law included in the qualifying list). I was wondering if any of you have chosen one Q1, or am I mistaken that we qualify for that visa? Also, I'm wondering about flying into HK with our outbound date 30 days later? Will that be a problem for my wife? The reason we're flying into HK is so that we can do a few days of touring around. I know they put restrictions on Mainlanders. When I flew over for her interview, we both flew out from HK, but it was no problem because we weren't staying and had an outbound flight ticket in hand. Thanks for your help, as always! Tom and Ling

Hi, there was an anouncement about 10 year visitor visa ( both directions). Interested??? Here is a link to a news story about the changes: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29992316 I read several articles about this change. Also went to US Guangzhou consulate site. I read somewhere the fee was $165. Danb From a BBC article: "Under the new visa rules, set to take effect on Wednesday, student visas will be valid for five years, while business and tourist visas will be valid for 10 years. The deal will not change how long a traveller will be allowed to stay in the US or China, but how long the visas are valid for entry. The US will also continue to require an in-person interview as part of the application for a visa."
