Ha, ha, ha, you cannot be serious!
And your experience is simply one of many reasons why I will never visit China. (The Chinese are either happy or apathetic about that.)

dgunbug and hawaiian traveler,
please let us know the minute you get your visas. I was ready to send my request in a couple of days through Travisa (recommended by the Linden Centre), but now after hearing Bob's plight...I'm rethinking using chinavisadotcome instead. I do have my Letter of Invitation from China HIghlights, which I hope will help.
And Bob, when you said you need the hotel confirmation in non-email format, can it be like a letter as an attachment?
This sounds like Catch 22.....what a worry!

I am anticipating receipt of my visa tomorrow. It is difficult to know if the problem stems from the visa company or the particular embassy that bob must use. I will report back tomorrow. Barefoot, the embassy for Florida residents is in Houston so that may be the difference. In any event, I would avoid using bob's agent since he's had such difficulty. We only supplied our first hotel in Beijing, did not type in capital letters, and did not have any of the other difficulties that bob has encountered. Also, our agent is available by phone to answer any questions when filling out the paperwork. It must be typed on computer rather than hand written. More tomorrow after receipt of documents.

Bob- I just now began to read you post regarding getting a visa to visit China. Well I agree its crazy and I will be scratching China off our list of places to visit. $200 bucks for a visa and all that nonsense about how to fill out the forms- as they say in NY/NJ.... fuhgetaboutit!!! I'd rather spend those dollars in Bangkok!

Barefootbeach, the experience described by rhkkmk has been excrutiating and the farthest from "promising" in any way even should Travisa produce visas in the end. Why on earth would you even consider this agency when there are several recommendations in the posts above that have given excellent service (mine was VisaHQ and there are others mentioned)?

MmePerdu - don't fret - no one is grading your grammar.
And poor spelling can always be attributed to the iphone or the fingers messing up!
Barefootbeach- I'll report to you later this evening after receiving my FedEx package. Don't remember...when will you be traveling to China? I think we are neighbors...we really should get together some time.
