[quote=ROGERINCA,36297]As you did not have much identifying information on your profile page of your post, it was difficult to determine initially what was your country of origin, until your later post which seems to indicate that you are in the USA ??  It is difficult for members to provide precise advice without knowledge of this important point of information.

The PR China Consulates in the US, will no longer accept mail-in visa applications.  The applicant should apply personally to the visa office, or entrust a visa service agent to submit the application on his/her behalf.  No appointment is necessary.

The time you could actually stay in China, or "duration of stay after entry" is usually 30 days. However, a maximum of 90-day duration of stay is available upon request. To get a 60 or 90 day duration of stay, you must write down such number on the Chinese Visa Application Form (Q1). If you do not specify the number of days on this form, you will be allowed only 30 days. Please be reminded that the Chinese Consulate has the final say on the number of days you receive for your visa regardless of your request.  Also, the Chinese Consulate has recently extended the validity of a [single entry] visa from 3 months to 6 months, which allows you to send in your application much earlier than before.

The Visa Service Agency I have used previously, many times, with no problems, fast service and great communications, is China Visa Service Center.  Their web site is:  www.mychinavisa.com/
They are Chinese American owned/operated agency and they have a great working relationship with the local PRC Consulate that they deal with.  Standard fee schedule is for a four working day turnaround, which should be more than adequate for your travel plans. Expidited orders cost more.  Hope this helps !!
