Lunch after the easiest passport pickup!
Cynthia S.

I was skeptical of the whole process, but this was straightforward and easy! Travel Visa Pro has exceeded my expectations! I began the process on 7/13/2023, and got my daughters passport today! They secured a USPS appointment for document verification at a location within reasonable distance, I hand delivered the documents to the SF location the same day. Day 1 begins the day after the documentation is delivered. I got an email 7/21, that my passport was ready to be picked up (I opted to pick it up in person). I contacted the state department for an emergency appointment and they had none, I called at different times for three days straight before finding Travel Visa Pro. The money I paid (9 day service) was well worth it and even got the passport ahead of time! Thankful for this agency. Even had time to grab lunch at Taco Bar on the corner. Parking wasn't a nightmare, I went around 11:30/12 each time and had no trouble finding parking.

They ate great for getting your visa but if you need to communicate with them beyond that they are not helpful at all.

The officers at the front entrance were pleasant and patient. The receptionist at the third floor where the office was at took down our appointment number and gave us a number instantly. We walked up to the first window where all documents were checked and told to have a seat. We were called to a window in less than five minutes. The process was completed within ten minutes. We were told to come back at 3:00 to pick up her passport. They allowed us to line up at 2:45 and had the passport in hand by 3:00. I complimented multiple times that they had a great system. I had went back in 2018 and got in line at 6:00AM. During a time where walk in were still taken. That was a 3 hour wait until I got to the window. This process from when we entered to when it was complete took a total of 25 minutes. It took longer to find parking than to get the passport application done. It's still best to be prepared. Paperwork in order, pictures taken beforehand. They only take contactless payment and not money orders or checks. Very simple, very seamless. Salute to the SF passport agency and all the federal officers at the door.

CVSC AKA China Visa SCAM Center…read more Background: Don't believe the positive reviews - they are all from when CVSC was an independent company. I used this company in the past too and had no problems but it appears they have been bought by a large visa clearing house called CIBT. Poor website design: For proof of address EITHER a drivers license or utility bill is required. I submitted my drivers license but the website required me to submit a utility bill too or it would not proceed so I submitted my drivers license again since I do not have a utility bill in my name. They rejected the application so I had to call to clear it up. Each application rejection results in a 1 day delay. My GF submitted her photo and it was rejected because her hair covered her forehead and ears. This was not mentioned in the application. Another 1 day delay. Clueless customer service: When you call the 800 number you do not deal with the people in the SF office who are actually processing the application so they are clueless and just reading the instructions off the website. At one point the supervisor told me my application was pending because I had applied at the SF consulate instead of the LA consulate which had jurisdiction based off my address. After I educated him that according to the consulate website my address is serviced by SF he changed his story and said it was because of the county I was in. He had the wrong county... Unauthorized fees, illegal hidden fees, and sneaky fees The only fees for a China visa that are listed on their website are: standard service fee, rush service fee, and consular fee (that goes directly to the Chinese consulate). Now let's count how many times CVSC tried to scammed me: 1. Unauthorized fee: When I submitted the first payment for the standard service fee I was billed an additional "Passport Replacement Coverage" fee that I did not purchase NOR was it even on the application. (In retrospect this is when I should have cut and run...) 2. Sneaky fee: After my application was approved I was emailed a FedEx label to mail in the application. No where in the email was it mentioned that I would be charged for using the label. Good thing I took the time to read the fine print on the label: "If you choose to use this label, a fee of $59.00 will be applied to the total cost of your application." 3. Illegal hidden fees: After my visa was issued I was charged additionally for: "Digital Photo Service" and "Consular Processing Fee." These are illegal hidden fees specifically prohibited in CA (SB 478). After countless emails and phone calls I finally got all the scam fees refunded. Ironically it would have been faster and cheaper to just go to the consulate and get the visa myself after I factored in all the time I spent fighting their scam fees.

Spencer Chase is a scammer. I wish I had read the recent reviews before paying him…read more I hired Spencer for assistance for a Chinese Visa application. Similar to other reviewers here, he initially seemed very responsive and knowledgeable, but then the delays and excuses started. Since he has had legitimate experience in this field, his excuses seemed reasonable, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. In the end, they were all lies. Here is an incomplete list of the excuses he used: "Waiting for the pickup notification" "Should be today or tomorrow" "It will definitely be next week" "They are a little backlogged at the Consulate" "Should be any day" "Will contact you soon, at the consulate now" "Should be getting the pickup ticket tomorrow" "They are prioritizing business first, ticket applicants second, and non-ticket applicants like yours third" "This delay is not typical" "Your application was batched with a tourism order last week" "I've been using all methods to try to get this done as soon as possible and it will be completed this week" "I got the pick up date and it's for next Thursday" "I just received one for another case that was submitted shortly before yours so it looks like we're almost there" All of these excuses sounded believable and made the process sound like it was always tantalizingly close to completion, but every one of these updates was a lie. Every. Single. One. I was a fool to have believed him. I hired Spencer in July when he promised it would be done in 2-3 weeks. I had to threaten him with legal action in order to recover my passport in November (4 months later, still with no visa in hand). After getting my passport back, I went to the consulate myself. The whole process took just 40 minutes (mostly waiting in line). It makes my blood boil just thinking about how Spencer strung me along for 4 agonizing months because he couldn't have bothered to go to the consulate for a mere 40 minutes. He exploited my inexperience and took advantage of my patience. My advice for anyone applying for a Chinese visa: do it yourself. The consulate updated their online application process in October 2025 so it's much smoother. If there is anything missing in your application, they'll tell you online exactly what you need. When it's time to submit your passport to the consulate in person, you just need to drop off the passport. The processing is super fast now because they've already reviewed everything online. And you don't have to pay a penny until your actually pick up your passport with the visa. Even worse than wasting your money and time, Spencer will ruin your travel plans and your mental health. He never planned on completing the work. Please don't make the same mistake I did.

I paid for preparing documents and my citizenship application, Spencer collected money from me…read moremultiple times for same work, and promised to refund the excess amount or I can use it as credits if I need further services. However, with no work completed and no updates, Spencer ghosted me when I called, multiple times. Eventually, I submitted the application by myself in April 2024 and asked for the refund. Spencer agreed to the full amount of $5,025 in May 2024, and promised to pay me gradually, but I have only received 1 payment, in amount of $200 on 5/28/2024. Until today, Bow Joy Services still owes me $4,825. I filed complaint via BBB, the complaint was closed with no answer from the business. I am bringing Bow Joy Services to SF Small Claims Court, but the Sheriff's office couldn't serve the defendant. What kind of person ignores Sheriff's notices or a court order?? Feel free to check for court documents on SF Small Claims Case Calendar: https://webapps.sftc.org/cc/CaseCalendar.dll?=&SessionID=D5E2D70387A13C09417EA608B4977BC76FC4B29C Date: 10/28/2024 1:30 PM Case Number: CSM-24-868867 I have suffered enough with this business, I hope there will be no more victims like me.
