China's consulates abroad have opened an online reservation system for overseas passport applications. In order to shorten the time for processing applications, applicants must make an appointment through this system. Note that you must make an appointment online before going to the consulate for face-to-face interview, otherwise it will not be processed.

After entering the online booking system, the system will ask the applicant to fill in personal information step by step. Fill in your personal information and make an appointment for an interview.

The requirements of the application form are as follows:

Matters needing attention in online booking:

1. Uploaded photos: Uploaded photos can't help to check whether the photos are qualified. In fact, the China passport newly applied by the Chicago Consulate is not made in Chicago. Therefore, in order to avoid the trouble of letting the applicant go to the consulate again because the photos provided by the applicant are unqualified, the consulate will check the photos very strictly. It is recommended to upload a photo but don't use it. On the day of the interview, go to the consulate to take photos.

2. After making an appointment for an interview, you cannot change the information in the application form. If necessary, modify the printed application form and tell the staff during the interview.

How to use an American visa ten years after changing passports: When the US Customs allows entry into the United States, the old and new passports are used together.

In other words, even if your passport expires and you get a new one, and the American visa on your old passport is still valid, you don't have to apply for a new one. When entering the United States, you must show the old and new passports to the immigration officer (the information in the new passport must be the same as that in the old passport, such as name and birthday).
