This calculator only consider the step at the consulate (Chinese visa and document authentication). If you requested Secretary of State certification as well, please add 2 weeks (approximate); if you requested Department of State authentication, please add 1 more week.

The normal processing time is:

• 4-5 business days for regular service
• 2-3 business days for express service
• 1-2 business day for rush service

Warning: From time to time, the consulate may experience delays. Please check our home page for important update on processing time.

• The estimate is based on information you provided -- if you make changes (e.g. substitute postal express mail with FedEx Express), the result may change.
• This is only an estimate and is provided solely for the convenience of customers planning for travel arrangements. Under no circumstance can this be viewed as a service guarantee.
