Hard cases are our specialty: an unreachable parent, an incomplete birth certificate, a divorced parent who will not cooperate, lost status documents, name mismatches, and applications that were returned.

We are a visa consulting and document pre-review service — not an embassy, consulate or government agency. We do not provide legal advice, do not guarantee outcomes, never ask for your China Consular App password, and do not collect official consular fees.
