I am a United States citizen living in Dallas. My boyfriend is a Canadian citizen and a United States Lawful Permanent Resident living in the Los Angeles area.

We are going to China next year and I am wondering if we can both apply together for our tourist visa from the Los Angeles Consulate office the next time I visit and then he could pick up both of our passports/visas when they are ready The hotel reservation is only in my name as Marriott does not show two names and we are flying together on the same plane to/from PEK. I would not go into detail that we are a couple, but I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this (travelers applying for visas from the same office when they are technically in another consulate area), as this would make it a lot easier for me to get my visa in-person.
