Wow, what an improvement since the last time I helped my in-laws process their visa from China to the US. It has been 4 years since I helped my wife’s parent to visit us in the US and it was a very difficult process. But after 4 years the US government got it right this time and the online visa process is much improved. The major improvement is scheduling an appointment last time you had to buy time for a phone call to China and the phone lines were always busy and it was almost impossible to schedule 2 visitors to be interviewed at the same time frame. Also, when you called only 1 call per person so we had to immediately call back to schedule the other traveler which was so crazy because it was difficult to get through and then the appointments all booked up for that day for the first person. Now you can schedule more than 1 traveler at the same time, what a great idea! China has it right and their new program of visa free for 72 hours in the major cities has boosted tourism and tourism is millions and billions of dollars to the local economy. Make it easier for travelers and it is a win win for everyone. When we bring our in-laws to the US we spend more money at local business dinning out, visiting sites, buying clothes and entertainment. Just make it easier. So I must say, good job to the US government’s visa processing center.

Thank you for your wonderful comments. If you have any specific questions about China please contact me. #1 Type of Crime against Travelers is Non-Violent and the #1 Crime against Travelers is Pickpockets.5/3/2014 The link below reviews more stories of pickpocket crimes. Think about it and it make sense it is a low profile type of crime that happens and we usually are not aware of it until later and our first reaction is that we lost it then we realize it was at the crowded train station, tourist site, bus station, group of cute kids or the women in need with a baby. It happens so fast and no one can be accounted for the crime. Why would the police follow up it is non-violent and they have more important work to do. It happens so easy for the traveler because we are on holiday and jet lagged, disoriented, and excited which we are easy targets. The best thing travelers can do is protect yourself with a money belt. At first most people do not like the idea of money belts including me but after researching how often it happens worldwide in every country especially popular tourist sites. I decided to purchase several but found them under comfortable so I designed, developed, tested, sampled all types of material for over 1 year I finally have a product to sell and it has been selling very well. The item can be purchased on eBay, Amazon or right here on my website. All you need to do when researching your destination is research the crimes against travelers and you will find out how often it happens. So protect yourself with an easy solution of less than $20USD and buy one before your trip because $20 is a small price to pay for protection from pickpockets. http://travel.cnn.com/real-travel-pickpocketed-europe-how-it-happened-me-117976?hpt=travel_hp_blogroll |
