Mr.Sean(USA) said:
Hi, I was recently offered a job in China, and my employer is applying for the work visa for me. They requested that I get some documents for them, one of them being a Medical Certification of a Physical Examination by a hospital certified by the Chinese Embassy. I tried calling the embassy to speak with a representative, but all the menus I get are automated responses. Does anyone know where I can reach an actual representative?
If not,I live in Irvine, California, so I was wondering where the closest certified hospital is located. I did find a "BG-14 Physical Examination Record for Foreigner," though I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the Medical Certification I need. Thank you for your help!

My brother who now lives in New York is going to China, but he just moved from Chicago. What visa office should he use? All his ID and passport are issued from Chicago?
Oct. 26,2009 05:05
Mr.Peter replied:
I think he can have a try at the Consulate General of China in New York. If he is refused, he has to apply for a Chinese visa at Consulate General of China in Chicago.

Good afternoon,
I went to the Chinese Consulate this morning in the need to Authentication of documents on a fire loss cliam for Chubb Insurance in Arizona. Since Chubb in Arizona does not have a Chinese Consulate they hire our services to get documents Authenticated. Upon our arrival the clerk informed us they must have a set of copies and a set of originals; which we had. Then she asked for a "Business License" and a "Statement." When I asked what a "statement" is or what they meant with that she could not tell me and said to "ask your company". Very unhelpful.
Can someone please tell me what a "Statement" is? and the Business License; is a copy okay or does it have to me notorized or anything else done with it?
Thank you for your time.

I think the 'statement' means the introduction of your company and the Business License should be a notarized.

Hi, I am a United States citizen and my husband is a Taiwanese citizen. My 3 kids are U.S. citizens as well. First quesiton, after obtaining my Chinese Visa, can my kids travel under my visa instead of getting their own individual visas? Second question, when applying for a CHINESE VISA for the kids, do both parents need to be present and do I have to bring the kids with me? Thank you for your time.
Oct. 21,2009 22:31
Mr.Adeel replied:
Your kids have to apply for their own visas to China.
You can just send a representative to go to the China embassy to apply for the visa.

How long or how many days does it take for the visa department to issue a visa? I planned to stay in the Macau and China a total of 15 days. How does the visa works? Can I use the same visa on and off during my stay or it is only good for one entry?
Apart for the application fee, passport, what other documents are required?
Are photos requires and what size?

Hi, how are you?
I would like to ask China Embassy regarding legal documentation issue.
This issue is for my boss Peter Abraham Park.
His attorney in China asked him to bring authentication from China Embassy for a letter of attorney & passport translation after notaries for his lawsuit.
We would like to find out what is the sequence he needs to take.
Please let us know ASAP and we would like to make an appointment to get authentication.
Thank you.

I need to travel to China on Sunday (10/11/2009), but just realized I may face a mission impossible. My passport has only amendment pages left, no room for new Chinese visa. I have an appointment with passport agency to get new US passport on 8th, then plan to go the the consulate right after. Does China consulate in Los Angeles still offer rush-service to get visa the same day? I ring their number, can never talk to a real person.
Oct. 8,2009 02:35
Mr.John Nash(USA) replied:
Yes, the rush service is available at the Consulate General of China in Los Angeles. You can get visa on the same day of application. It reopens on Octtober 7.

Thank you for your reply Mr. Caspar. The problem is that my mom is scheduled to leave Sunday, 10/4/2009, which her application clearly stated. She is planning to return to the Consulate today to track down her application and passport in their office so she can get her visa to allow her to make her trip scheduled in 5 days. The pick up date of 10/7/2009 is too late to allow her to take the trip. Will the Consulate employees be able to efficiently help her with this problem?
Sep. 29,2009 20:21
Mr.Alexander replied:
I don't think the consulate can offer any help, and I'm afraid that your mother have to change her plan.
Sep. 30,2009 01:58
Ms.Mae replied:
All is well. After two "not my problem" responses, the third clerk was very helpful. The Visa was ready-to-go in a very short period of time.

My mom visited Consulate today to secure visa for 10/4/09 trip. The clerk offered Wednesday pick up time. However, she discovered after arriving home the clerk was referring to Wednesday, 10/7/09. Now that they have her passport in whatever piles might be in the back office, will she have trouble getting her visa before they close for the holiday 10/1/2009.

The China consulate in Los Angeles will be open on Oct 07, 20009. Please see the notice on the consulate's official website.

I submitted an application to renew my HKSAR passport on 9/15/09 for regular process (instead of express). I will need to travel to London for business on 10/2/09; I am very concerned that I still haven't receive any notification regarding the pick-up of my new passport, as 10 business days have already passed. How long does it usually take for renewal via regular process? And what should I do in my situation where my passport is urgently needed in a few days?
Sep. 28,2009 22:01
Mr.Brent replied:
I think only the Hk SAR administration who are processing your passport can give exact answer.
