The time cost is in the physical consulate handoff.

The online form is only the beginning. Weekday travel, waiting, a second collection trip, and custody of original documents still need a reliable physical process.

Missed work and lines

Travel, parking, limited hours, and waiting can consume much of a workday.

Physical checklist details

Online preliminary review does not replace current requirements for printed forms, signatures, photos, originals, and supporting documents.

A second collection trip

Submission and collection are not always completed on the same day, which can mean another trip.

Visible passport custody

CEV records purchased intake, drop-off, pick-up, and return updates in one order timeline.

What happens after you order?

The order keeps services, prices, Office selection, document handoffs, and return-shipping setup together.

Common questions

Can I purchase only drop-off after completing the online form?

Yes. Select Drop-Off Only if the required application and physical documents are ready. CEV checks the handoff checklist and completes the purchased delivery; the consulate decides acceptance and the visa outcome.

Can CEV pick up a passport that I submitted myself?

Often, yes. Pick-up availability depends on the servicing Office and the receipt or authorization required by the consular office. Confirm those requirements before ordering.

What does the service fee include?

The displayed amount is the per-applicant CEV service fee for one consulate drop-off or one consulate pick-up. Shipping labels, carrier postage, official consular fees, and optional services are separate.

Does online preliminary review guarantee in-person acceptance?

No. Printed forms, signatures, photos, originals, and supporting documents still need to meet the current official handoff requirements. CEV helps reduce avoidable handoff errors but cannot control the consular decision.

Does CEV guarantee visa approval?

No. CEV is an independent service provider, not a Chinese embassy or consulate. Only the responsible consular office decides acceptance, processing time, and approval.

Which prices apply to standard and express consular processing?

With standard consular processing, Drop-off is USD 39.00, Pick-up is USD 39.00, and both are USD 78.00 per applicant. With express consular processing, Drop-off is USD 49.00, Pick-up is USD 49.00, and both are USD 98.00 per applicant. VIP prices are the same for standard and express processing. Consular express processing is not a CEV completion-time promise.
