How long will it take to get a type L Visa or Tourist Visa for China?

Question

I am an american applying for one.

Also if you pay the extra 30 USD for same day processing does that mean that you get your visa that day?

Answer 1

depends on the service you want.. You can get it done in 24 hours or as long as 5-7 days.  If you do it yourself, you have to drop it off before 9:30am which means you need to get to the window before that time, arrive before they open, then wait all day to pick it up after 2:30pm.  

The Chicago consulate doesnt offer same day service anylonger.  So if that is your consulate district you may want to use a visa agent.
