ChinaServices.US, Inc

This company is awesome. I was also hesitant to send all my personal information including sending my passport. But after reading a review by Steven R, I felt a little more comfortable so I sent in all my stuff. They got it on Saturday, Monday was a holiday, then by that Friday I got a notification that it’s being shipped via FedEx. That was super fast! And their cost is the cheapest one out there. Trust me I did a lot of research and theirs is the cheapest. Everything is done through the website
and it was the easiest process. If you need to get Chinese visa, then I would suggest you use this company to get it done!

Traveling to China can be difficult for Americans: the documentation requirements are cumbersome, and they do not allow online or mail-​in service. That means you are either traveling to your nearest Chinese embassy or consulate (which is often going to be in another state), or hiring a service such as this one to do it for you.
I felt like I was taking a bit of a gamble on these guys: their website (
) is thorough but also overwhelming, and they make some very lofty performance claims without giving a lot of information about the business or the people behind it. To be safe, I did a little digging and checked out the associated corporation (
, Inc.) with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs: it is a valid, current corporation in Michigan with a real address and officers. I also sent a few emails and found them to be sufficiently friendly and helpful. And while as a whole I probably wasn’t quite as comfortable as I probably should have been with mailing our passports out with slightly fewer than 3 weeks remaining before our trip to China, I was low on options and was not going to deal with the nightmarish drive to Houston to deal with the Consulate myself, so we took the risk.
As you’ve probably already inferred form the 5-​star rating, I am very pleased with the outcome on several fronts. Here’s why:
1) Most importantly, they got the job DONE. I sent them my documentation on February 19 and received our passports back with the Chinese visas on March 5^th. I did not pay any rush or expedited handling fees (other than the $ 16.45 I paid for 2-​day FedEx shipping on the outbound to them, which was my choice.) So by my estimation, they started working on it as soon as they could (Mon. ²⁄₂₃), had it fully processed and picked up from the Consulate in ~5 business days (on. ³⁄₂), and mailed it back that day or the following to have it to me by Thurs. ³⁄₅.
2) They are straight up the cheapest option out there, and we looked extensively. Their $ 39.95 service fee (x2 for 2 travelers) is unbeatable. Our TOTAL ended up being $ 372.79, but $ 280 of that were consulate fees that you’ll be paying no matter what, and the rest was shipping charges (FedEx, insured, tracked, etc.).
3) They went out of their way to save me money. When I was worried about time and asked them to send me a prepaid overnight shipping label so I could get them our passports ASAP, they responded with this: «Steven: Yes here is a 2 day label. We did not recommend you to use overnight because Chinese consulate is closed for holiday on Thursday and Friday anyway. Using two day shipping, send out on Thursday will arrive on Monday, No big difference, but the shipping fee lower.» This sealed the deal in terms of their integrity and expertise: they know EXACTLY what they are talking about and it is clear that they have the customer’s best interests at heart.
4) They provide a tracking system that sends you email updates when your application is received submitted, received back, etc.
My one suggestion for improvement is to try to do everything possible to be clear about different requirements for which documentation is needed for which types of visas. Ultimately they DO provide all the information you need, but there is SO MUCH INFORMATION that it takes a long time to read through it all and understand. I am not going to complain about that because it is just a complicated process by nature, but it is very easy to make mistakes if you are not VERY careful.
A few tips: Read ALL the forms they give you. Go over the checklist TWICE and make sure you aren’t missing anything: invitation letters, travel itineraries, and whatever else you may need depending on your visa type. Make sure you look at the guidelines for passport photos. Make sure you fill out the application correctly: in all CAPS and with an N/​A in the space for any information that does not apply.
As a whole, we were VERY happy with the service from
and will certainly recommend them to anyone else needing Chinese visa services.
