Needing a visa that takes two months to process and wanting/needing to travel internationally during that two month period would be an excellent reason to get a second passport from a country (including USA) that offers them. You might need to pay extra for expedited processing. However, note that at least USA second passports are of shorter duration, which might make you want to reconsider which passport will get the two month process visa and which you will use for other travel, including China.
