Chinese Visa - touch of paranoia

Hello,

I am going mainland China from UK (via Hong Kong) to visit my son, daughter-in-law and grandchild in August. My daughter-in-law is Chinese.

I have been to China three times before without any problems on the visa front however I have just been advised the visa process has changed.

Having read the details and comments on this wonderful site I am so concerned my visa may be refused, I have no basis for this sudden paranoia but being of a mature age (61) I do tend to worry more.

I notice some people were refused for no apparent reason, could my age possibly go againt me?, I intend to apply for a visa to visit family would that be okay do you think or maybe I should use tourist?

My daughter-in-law will do the invite letter.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated

Thank You

GUEST4322 You know, it's difficult to catch what the consular officers think. Personally, I think it is ok to apply for a family visit visa.

GUEST15333 You mentioned that you visited China three times - if you never overstayed, there is no reason for the consulate to reject your application for a new visa.

The "random" rejections you are reading about, are usually due to some kind of an infraction.
