yeah... the U.S. Consulate, as usual, is taking the example of our fine president - clenching their eyes shut and clicking their heels together and hoping it all goes away and people stop asking them questions. the fantastically useful reply I got from the U.S. Consulate was exactly this: "For questions relating to Chinese visa, please contact the Shanghai Exit/Entry Bureau (EEB) at 1500 Min Sheng Lu, Pudong, Shanghai, tel: 2895-1900*2." thanks, thanks alot. my hard earned tax dollars pay for a phone-book lookup. and then today - oh boy, just got my April Newsletter from the Consulate! why I'm sure they'll have SOME commentary on this most important of issues, right!?!? Ummm... I guess not. but at least they are encouraging me to vote. as long as its for Republicans I'm sure. New Topics: -- Upcoming Holidays and Other Closures -- NEW Voting Pamphlet Available in ACS -- Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption Enters into Force -- Summer Olympics and Paralympics in China -- State Voter Registration Verification Websites -- Passport Card -- IRS - Economic Stimulus Payments Information -- Leaving Shanghai Consular District? -- Voting Information Updates

Wow! An embassy actually doing its job for once! I won't hold my breath in expectation of the American consulate/embassy doing the same. Re: Note 3 It is a good idea to have at least a copy of the info page and visa of your passport on you at all times, either in your wallet or purse, in case you are randomly asked for it. Usually that will satisfy the curiousity of whatever official is asking for it.
