Houston Chinese Consulate ordered to close

I think y'all can forget about getting any China visas renewed anytime soon.

I guess that takes care of the passport issue. Thanks.

See it could always be worse. My luck, they would’ve put it in the burn pile.

They’re still processing them, just depends on the state you live. They can burn mine, at least I won’t go to Hong Kong and share a hotpot with my five new friends.

A brown guy here, have done international for about 16 years. I haven’t heard of a single ups guy/gal who has two passports? Is that common at FedEx?? Thanks.

I am not sure how common it is, but I was told that you could get a second passport and the company would pay the costs associated with it. This is so you can keep flying while getting a visa renewed. Now, I am not sure if the two countries that require us to have a special visa will issue a visa for each passport, but I may test the theory next time my passport gets close to needing renewal.

I am brown and have 2 passports. U can get a form letter from ops to give to the passport agency justifying the need. They will not pay for the 2nd one but makes it so ez during visa renewal time.

yikes! Then again, maybe they will relent when none of their rubber dog poop can get from SZX to ANC. I would imagine the current administration would be more than happy to deny entry to Chinese freighters if they are shutting ours down through visa denials.
