I worked extensively with them to get my Chinese visa done. They were responsive and answered any…read morequestions I had. It seems like they do visas as a side thing. It's a mom and pop place and you will need to speak some Chinese with them to let them know you're applying for a Chinese visa. You pay after you get the visa and they only accept cash. They are relatively cheap compared to other places and is definitely a good option instead of going to the embassy.

Service was prompt and professional. I would definitely use them again or recommend them to others.read more

Let me start from the very beginning…read more I needed to get my Chinese Visa done for travel in February 2020. I thought the only place I could get it done was at the Chinese Passport & Visa Office, Chinese Consulate General in LA. I prepared all my documents (or lack thereof) and went to the LA office. It didn't turn out so well for me at the LA office because I didn't have cash ($2) to get my hotel itinerary printed out. I was frustrated because I waited 2 hours just to be told I was missing my hotel itinerary and that they needed it to process the Visa (-_-) and I wasted my gas by driving all the way to LA even though I'm from the 626 area. I texted my friend about my frustrations and she suggested I go here since I am a U.S. Citizen. And because she's gotten her Visa done here too. Apparently if you're not a U.S. citizen you HAVE to go to the LA Chinese consulate passport office. She told me it would cost $180 to get my Visa done here. I decided to try my luck so I came here Christmas Eve. First impressions, Helen was a very sweet and helpful lady. Helen was very nice and said I made her job easy since I had all the documents prepared (Typed Visa application, copy of drivers license to prove residency, copy of passport page with the identification, passport photo for application, flight itinerary there, and hotel itinerary confirmation). Helen told me it would be available for pick up on Tuesday, Dec. 31. She called me to tell me it was available. I didn't actually pick it up until Sat. Jan. 4. I wish I knew about this place before wasting my time going to LA. For $40 extra (Visa costs $140) I didn't mind getting it done here because of the proximity of the location to where I lived and how easy it was to get it done. I will recommend this place to anyone who is a U.S. citizen looking to get their Visa done if they do not want to wait in the long lines at the LA Chinese passport office.

BEWARE!!! READ BEFORE VISIT!…read more Short: Be ready to do all the leg work while paying extra. I paid $129 extra to drive back and forth for an hour. Long: This is an unnecessary middle man business that quietly poses as a government service agency. The name itself, "The Passport Office" sounds official enough to uninformed soon to be travelers, such as myself. Though the reality is that you will pay them to simply fill out the same exact form you can do yourself at the post office. Please keep in mind, this does not cover your post office fees as at all. I've been lied to and cheated by this business; and feel utterly frustrated. They assured me that, only they could expedite my passport in 12 business days. They then had me drive to a public post office 30minutes out of my way, only to find out by the US postal employee (bless her), that I only needed to come to post office in the first place. When I returned with my sealed documents and confronted my consultant, Raquel Castellanos, she denied her previous statements assuring me they would help more more than the post office's services. I'm sure I appeared tired, frustrated, and upset to her. Yet I was only met with a defensive attitude. 0/5 Never to return.

When I brought this up, the owner showed zero remorse and just blamed the government for the delay, even though he was the one who promised the 3-day timeline in the first place. On top of the missed deadline, I paid over $500 for this "expedited" service and still had to make my own trip to the post office. If I'm doing that much of the legwork myself, I don't know what exactly I was paying for.
