The one NOT to use is CSCA outside DC. In 3-4 weeks they "misplaced" my passport, did NOT get a cert. of marriagability that they repeatedly assured me they could AND "forgot" to get visa after the certs were denied. Also delivery of my passport by UPS to them was to an unattended front porch (they had a standing order with the UPS guy- no signatures upon delivery if no- one was there- believed to be back dating them). Think at least UPS, if not CSCA, changed this soon after I was done with them.

 

Two years ago and I'm still :o  :angry:  :angry: 

 

Got refunds of UPS fees (from the UPS Store) going there and ALL CSCA fees including eventually them getting the visa, two day return service, getting new pictures/notarization for a LOST passport. I had just renewed my PP between trips to boot!

Thanks for the update. They will be scratched from the list.

...and just think; it used to be an application, your passport and a $30 fee mailed to the Chinese embassy or consulate and in about 2 weeks you got your passport with the visa back in the mail.

Yep,,,that's a freedom and a covenience we all lost! and now have to PAY thrice as much, along with the troubles, hassles, carelessness,etc.,etc.!!....{pop quiz hotshot!,,,why did we lose that freedom, (and covenience)???} :o

Not to say that these others are not as good, or whatever, but I always used http://www.visarite.com and they are very reliable, very quick and considerably cheaper than any of these.

I just sent a check for $69 yesterday to http://www.visa-chinese.com This wil be the second time I've used them. It's the lowest agency fee I've seen.

How did you handle the return to you? It doesn't state on the website. I would think it cost more than the $19 service charge

From the website

 

" 4. Self-addressed stamped envelope. For security concern, trackable mail will be highly recommended (FedEx, UPS, DHL or Express mail, certified mail and priority mail from US Post Office)."

 

I sent a Priority mail envelope that cost between 7 and 8 bucks including the delivery confirmation. The $19 service fee is for a single entry tourist visa with 4 day standard processing. I've got plenty of time.

I also went with MyChinaVisa. With today's gasoline prices, it was actually cheaper than the round trip to Chicago, and also saved me a vacation day for another time.
