I am traveling to China on July 17th to teach English to academics, having been invited by a college there. I'm applying for a Business F visa.

I have a U.S. passport. Same-day and rush processing for Chinese visas in the U.S. has been suspended as of 4 May 2009, likely because of swine flu fears, leaving everyone with a 6-business-day wait. But I leave sooner than that.

So San Fran residents, China law experts, and California lawyers, we need ya.
