I had recently applied for a Tourism (L) Visa at the Chinese Consulate in Chicago (FYI- they do not…read moreaccept appointments for applying for a visa). I'm visiting from out of state so it did mean I was taking a mini vacation ...twice, unless I decided to stay for 5 weekdays as it takes 4 business days to process and then you can pick up on the 4th day. I applied on a Friday and it was ready by the following Wednesday according to the pickup receipt. The day of pickup, I got there by 9:05 and I was like 3rd in line to wait for the office to open but once it's almost 9:30 you won't see the line in the lobby because the people will be making their way upstairs to go through security. You stay in the same order as when you line up downstairs after you sign in with security. Once upstairs, the line splits off depending on what you are doing. There's a separate line for pickup and a separate line for applying for the visa- so just because you see 10 people ahead of you, maybe 3 of them is for pickup. So, before you go to the embassy, you need to apply via the online form and you need to include a headshot of yourself on a white background, not off-white because the application will not let you move forward. I typed just my personal info in CAPS but did everything else in normal writing with some capitalizations. Though it says that filling in your "position" at your job and "job duties" as optional--You actually need to fill it because they will make you fill it on the spot if you don't. The "where you stay form" is not optional, though it says that...I had to fill it at the embassy so just print and have it ready to give to the officer. I had all my photocopies in color but I'm not sure if that matters but to be safe, I wanted the copies to look exactly as they are. I put that I wanted multiple entries for 9 years and something, and I got multi for 10 years and I am a US citizen who had a 6 months Chinese visa 15 years ago when I was studying abroad in HK. If you have all your documents, it should be very fast at the window. The day I applied I got to the building around 10:30AM, silly me brought a coffee up thinking I can drink it while I wait inside...SIKE. You can't bring any drinks or food inside the office. So, I was outside chugging my coffee! This meant, like 7-8 people passed me while I was drinking my coffee in a span of like 7 mins and I finally went through security at around 10:35AM? I was #19 but they were on #5. I was called around 11:30AM and it took less than 10mins for the officer to review my docs and approve it. They give you a pink receipt to bring back to pickup your visa! You can pay with credit card on day of pickup and it's $140--NO CASH ACCEPTED Here's what I brought with me: - my actual valid passport with at least 6 months - printed copy of my passport -my actual copy of old passport (this is required because I had a visa before) -printed copy of my OLD passport (this is required because I had a visa before) -printed copy of OLD CHINESE VISA (this is required because I had a visa before) - copy of your state ID - printed copy of your completed Visa application with the QR Code -copy of marriage certificate (because of name change) -Where you Stay Form They had 2 officers that were just for the visa application line.

However,…read morealthough there seems to be good reviews regarding Shawn, my experience with him thus far as been very difficult. So far, when I correspond with him by email, he comes across as arrogant, abrupt and rude. He has had my visa application since late December 2025 and up until the week of February 22 through 28, 2026, I did not hear from him regarding next steps in obtaining the Chinese tourist visa. When I finally heard from Shawn, he still did not provide clear procedures to complete the Chinese tourist visa. I've come to learn that an individual can easily procure a Chinese tourist visa directly with the Chinese consulate. However, at this point, since my application has been submitted with Shawn, not sure if I can still take this route since the trip to China will be in April 2026.

Avoid RushMyPassport like the plague. This company is an absolute scam…read more I paid over $400 to have my passport expedited and completed their online application. The process completely broke when it got stuck on the "Generating Application" page. I tried for an entire weekend using four different servers and devices. The page never worked. I called their office the minute they opened and explained that their website was not functioning. The agent was completely unhelpful and sent me a "refund request" form that simply redirected back to the same broken page. When I explained that the link did not work for the same reason I was calling, the agent hung up on me mid sentence. At that point it became very clear this was not an accident. They took my money, their system did not work, and they provided no real support or resolution. The refund process is intentionally inaccessible, and customer service is dismissive at best. Save yourself the stress, the lost time, and the money. Do not use RushMyPassport under any circumstances.
