Bouzer how are you doing? I thought we had lost you. Here is one site and there are quite a few. How close do you live to the consulate? I actually drove to L.A. to get mine. Anyway try this, but get on it fast. Good luck!

You've got plenty of time but you're going to at least want to pay for the next day if not same day service. I've had good luck with these people and they charge lower fees than anybody else I found.

That's the same one your friend used to recommend, Mike.

Do a search with the key word "China Visa". You will find a lot of agents that handle that but it will cost you some money. Here is one that I would trust:

If time doesn't permit, your last resort will have to make a stop in Hong Kong before going to BJ. China Travel Services (HK) Ltd. have same day service in which you drop off your passport at thier office first thing in the morning and your visa will be ready for pickup that afternoon and it is half the cost of getting it in the US using a travel agency. They can also book your flight from HK to BJ. I have used them before and they are the only Chinese state owned agency operates in HK that handle travel needs for foreigners.

If you are first traveling to Hong Kong, you can entrust the visa application at a branch office of China Travel Service (Hong Kong) Limited. The most convenient is located near to the Star Ferry on the Kowloon side because they are open 7 days a week and they can arrange for a visa in just a few hours, if necessary.

The address is at 1/F.,Alpha House,27-33 Nathan Rd., Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The air fare of flying from US-HK, BJ-US would be the same as if flying US-BJ-US. AT least it was my experiance with UAL. You just have to arrange your transportation from HK to BJ. I did that every time before I go see my SO since I have relatives in HK. You can bypass the middle man by going straight to the China Visa Service in WanChai when you get to HK.

 

Consular Department Office of the Commissioner Foreign Affairs of the

People's Republic of China

Chinese Visa Office

7th Floor, Lower Block, China Resources Building

26 Harbour Road

Wanchai, Hong Kong

Tel: 852-3413-2424

 

It's only a 10 minutes walk from the WanChai MTR(subway) station, A1 exit. Get there before they open at 0900, get in line to get through security (don't carry anything on you that you shouldn't have as if you were getting on an airplane), go to 7th floot (I think!), take a number, hand in your application and passport and photo, get a receipt for your passport, go have brunch (dimsum) at a nearby tea house, pick up your visa and passport around 1300 (make sure you have enough HKD$ to pay the fee, about USD$750), do some shopping for your SO in the afternoon and catch a flight to see your SO in BJ that evening. All these will only cost you is one night in HK and the flight to BJ and of cause all the shoppings.

I used this service for the Chicago Consulate. She offers 24 hour turn around if needed.

 

There's Alway Hope Visa Service

 

She also provide document authentication through the Chinese consulate. Her primary business is adoption, but I used her for my regular travel visa earlier this year. She notifies you via email every step of the way so you know when to expect the documents to arrive at your home.

I have used this service several times to get visa for China: http://www.oasischinavisa.com/ You can overnight your passport to them and they walk it into the Embassy in DC and will overnight it back to you.

 

This service was the only one recommended by the Chinese embassy.

 

They are extremely fast reliable, and in-expensive.

Bouzer, Did you use a Chinese travel agent to buy your ticket? (They get all the best prices on tickets.) If you did, they usually can do that for you. Else, any one of the services someone here has tried should work. Two weeks ago I bought my airplane ticket one day, had my visa the next day, and flew out the following day.
