I was born in China and I have recently gotten my U.S. citizenship. I understand that the applicant born in China with foreign passports who apply for a Chinese visa for the first time is required to provide the original former Chinese passport. However, I have lost my former Chinese passport a long time ago. Can you tell me what I should expect to provide in replacement of my Chinese passport when I go to the embassy for my Chinese visa? What will change in the process if I cannot provide my former Chinese passport? Many thanks.
