I am applying for a Chinese visa so that I can visit my girlfriend's family this winter. I am a dual British/American citizen and the fees involved are significantly cheaper for British citizens when applying in Chicago. I was wondering if it would be possible to apply for a visa on my British passport and use a photocopy of my American passport instead of a visa/green card. I was also wondering if doing so would decrease my chances of getting an accepted visa if I applied to an American consulate as a Brit isntead of as an American?
Thank you for your time
Chris
