Now that we are on to stage 2, I have few questions regarding ...
1. Do they trnasfer the file electronically? (I'd suppose so, but it's government, so you never know ... )
2. How would the embassy contact us if they need info, request passports, etc? By email or mail? If by mail, would we be still able to find out online? Not sure how reliable China post is
3. Judging by the timelines of other people, they ask for the passport and then it takes somewhere between month or two to get the visa issued. Any way not to give the passport in advance and have them keep it for that long? The problem is that my wife is studying in China and may need to travel back to home, not to mention that it's the only document showing that she is legal in China :-\
