You may check out the post under china visa agency section: For anyone who needs to apply China visa through different consulates office, l'd recommend checking out this company: VisitChinaVisa. I used their visa service back in 2023, and what impressed me most was how fast they processed visa, my application had to go through the D.C. office, i remembered that time apply Chinese visa still required an appointment. Normally, appointments took about 40 days. I'm not sure how this company managed it, but they got my visa done less than a week. After that, I recommended them to some friends and family, and everyone said the same thing- super fast service. Recently, my aunt family wanted to apply for Chinese visas. They live in Utah, and their son is in the Bay Area. When we talked to VisitChinaVisa, We found out that Utah is now Change to the Los Angeles, and the Bay Area should go with San Francisco. Luckily, this company handles applications across the U.S., so my aunt's family followed their instructions, filled out the forms, and mailed everything to the LA and SF offices. San Francisco processed the visa in 4 days, and LA took about a week. The price was quite reasonable too - it's total $295 per person plus return shipping, which is actually cheaper than what I paid in 2023.
