what agent to use to get chinese visa in san francisco

[xtenhome]

hi,

I wonder what agent people are using to do their chinese visa from the chinese embassy in san francisco ?

Also does anyone know cheap flights from san francisco to china ?

if possible and convenient with re to time and location you might want to go to the Chinese embassy/consulate yourself. When I was in NYC I went myself and saved myself abt $60 for not having to pay the travel agent fee or the postage. Also if you go the recommended times there's virtually no lines to wait on. They had regular service (4 business days) and express as well.

As far as flights go - check out this site http://www.uschinatrip.com/

Last time I flew from NYC to Kunming I got the same prices from them as a travel agent friend of mine found with a consolidator. Even if you don't end up using it it could be a good place to start for comparing prices.

Thanks for your help.

Trouble with going to the consulate is I am in seattle and I believe the consulate is in san francisco.

Any other options ?

I think any travel agent can help you send away for it, but I'm not sure.

As far as getting approved for a China tourist visa, I think it's pretty easy.
