I had a good experience with Zierer Visa Service.

Website is zvs.com

Not cheap, but fast and efficient.

We have used CIBT -- also not cheap but they get the job done when you don't have the time to do it yourself. Have a look at their website. I don't know how they compare with the option posted above.

Depending upon where you live, there may be other local options.

We used a service to get the visa's but not expedited. http://www.oasischinavisa.com/ Our visa's came within a week.

Hi

Thanks to everyone who responded. DH used oasischinavisa.com recommended by TooBusyToday.

All of the expediters had about the same fees for rush visas, but Oasis China Visa also had a "regular" 4-day option, which was definitely less costly. He sent it off late in the day, Friday the 16th and we received it today, Tuesday, the 27th, which isn't bad considering there were two weekends and a holiday in the midst.

OCV was very professional and efficient, with good communication tools. When we called Monday morning to make sure they had received his passport and application, it was already at the embassy. Via e-mail, they provided the tracking number for the return FedEx package so we knew to expect it today (signature needed of course).

Thanks for your assistance

Pamela
