dear consular, honestly we are still facing so much challenge in obtaining chinese visa, after all we got the requirement, most of my business friend are no more interested in going to china nowadays, bcos after all you got the requirement, if you come to embassy you will not get interview date in specific date, wht i mean here's that, you may plan to travel within a period of two weeks of your booking, but you will be given appointment for morethan one or two month,whle the slot will be jampered by southerners after all it has been divided by the chinese government, kindly reshefle this arrangement for the nothern to enjoy their privelage given by chinese authourity,
