Online review is not physical handoff

Questions before choosing a route
Understand the difference between service coverage and a storefront.
Does CEV have a physical office in every state?
No. This directory describes nationwide service coverage and document routes, not a storefront in every state. Each page identifies the responsible CEV service office, consular jurisdiction, and mail or appointment handoff method.
Why does the applicant's state affect the document route?
Residence usually helps determine the responsible Chinese consular office. CEV references current jurisdiction information and confirms the final submission location from the applicant's online-review result.
Is the service fee shown on a state page the total price?
The displayed amount is the per-applicant CEV service fee for the selected service or plan; each option's description says what it includes. Carrier postage (unless the chosen plan already includes it), official consular fees, and optional services are calculated separately and shown before checkout.
Why isn't there a separate page for every city?
A city page is published only when there is a distinct, verifiable office, mail-intake, or appointment-handoff difference. Other cities are covered on the state page so applicants are not misled into expecting a local storefront.
Find your state, then see exactly where the handoff goes next.
Choose the service first. The complete address, shipping quote, and final office are confirmed before purchase.
