When will Shanghai resume its visa to the United States in 2022?

On June 6, 2022, Shanghai American visa resumed operation. When visiting the visa center, you must abide by the relevant requirements of local epidemic prevention and control. When your passport is available for collection, or when your passport is returned by a courier of your choice, we will send you a notification email. Please wait patiently for the email notification. You don't need to go to the visa center before receiving the email notification.

In 2022, the pass rate of study visas in the United States is about 85%, and there is little difference in individual tourist visas in Schengen countries. There is no situation where a country is particularly good at demanding one country, because all countries are bound by the unified immigration regulations of the European Union.

The principle of applying for a Schengen visa is to apply for a visa from the embassy or consulate of the primary destination country. Go to Europe 12 days, stay in France for 8 days, and you can apply for a French visa. If the stay time in every country is similar, such as France, Germany and Italy, which is 4 days, then a visa from the top entry country is required. If you obviously want to stay in France for a long time but ask for a German visa, you will probably be asked by the embassy or consulate to make another request.
