GUEST67201 Can't hurt..if you've never had a visa for China before.I would just call her a "friend" though and not make any mention of a romantic relationship.Give an address and a contact phone/email address for her and explain to her that if they do check her as a reference, she refers to you a just a "friend" too.I doubt very much thet will even contact her anyway as they give out thousands of visas every year and are more interested in the receiving the fee more than anything else.

thanks, I was thinking they may not want me coming over to meet a Chinese girl, I will follow you're advice, and make no mention of romance.

My last visa request from the uk I was asked for Hotel address(s) or for a personal invitation letter. If you do not stay in a (large) hotel you will need to register with the local police with the person you are staying with. She will need her ID, hukou and home documents. She may also be asked your relationship. Large hotels will do this for you.

GUEST46108 They ask for these things on the application but do they ever actually follow up on any of the info you provide..not that I know of.Not once has my "inviter" ever been contacted in the 5 times I have used them.

Great thanks, ya it's not a big deal even if they do contact her, just wondered if they frowned on American men coming to meet Chinese women. Plus, she is the most beautiful woman in all of China, and the smartest, so I thought they might get mad, lol. ty Armand

Well, I got my visa, and I listed her as the inviter. It was very easy, and there was no mention of going to the police station with her or anything, but maybe they will tell me to when I get to China. Thanks for all your help.

Well, I'm here, I listed her, but nobody contacted her, and I am staying at a small hotel, but didn't need to check in at the police station. This is my first trip to china, unbelievable, what an amazing place.
