Can I apply for a visa in Febrauary for a planned trip to China in July? Or is that too early?

It would be most convenient for us to apply for visa at the NYC Consulate in late February, for a planned 2-week trip to China in July. But is that too long a duration between accepted visa and actual travel?

Yes, it's too long a duration between the date of issue and the actual travel date. You know, a visa is usually valid for three months, if you apply too early, it will expire before you enter China.
