Hello everyone!! :-)

I would like to obtain a (F) VISA for the purpose of doing some business in China. I have a apartment in Sanya, Hainan and I purchase product from a Guangdong (Panyu) factory. I need to be available to check product for the next 12 months which is the reason i have an apartment in China.

I heard (read) that it was possible to obtain a 1 year (F) Visa after October 2008. I have an invitation letter with official stamp from a factory inviting me to work in China for a year.

I have two (2) Passport Photos.

Can someone recommend a few ONLINE services (web site URL???) that would process my passport request for a 1 Year (F) Visa.

Thanks!!!

I found this link to the San Francisco Consulate- It says I can apply for a 2-Year (F) Visa for only $130 USD :-)

Part of the requirement is we must copy proof out of our Passport (OLD or NEW) past (F) Visa-

I have 3 (M) Multiple Entry (F) VISA (30 day and 60 day)

I have 2 single entry (F) Visa

So I have a total of 5 (F) Visa --

Anyone with past experience have any opinons about this process I would LOVE to hear.
In the past 100% of my VISA came from Hong-Kong. I lived mostly in Guangdong and would simply take a train and get a new Visa.
Now I will get one from San Francisco as I live in San Francisco! How easy :-)

Thanks for ideas and information!!
