But now I can't find the page on the Chinese embassy site or the blog.
Does anyone know about this? I'm trying to avoid an extra drive into L.A. if I can avoid it.
If you use an agency, there is no need to go to Los Angeles in person, but totally "online" is not possible at this point in time because PRC visas are affixed to your passport (this is not the case with all visa issuing countries).
