Residents of China may apply for a non-immigrant visa at any U.S. Consular Section in China, regardless of the province or city of residence. There are Consular Sections at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the U.S. Consulates General in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenyang.
Although the basic application process is the same, specific times and application procedures at each visa issuing office can vary. Before applying for a visa, applicants should check each post’s web site for procedures specific to that post.
