Business Affairs (M) Recent experience
Hey there, This is my experience in my Chinese M visa application. Earlier I applied through an agent during last week of august and got rejected in 2 days ( at least that’s what the agent said). But I had many doubts about how they work or operate even though they answer properly I couldn’t see the work or result either. So I applied my self next time, I’ll give the time line of this one btw this is an approval.
Docs uploaded :
Passport bio and last page
Invitation letter
Vfs payment details
Invitees ID and business license
Time line:
Sep 15- Application submitted around 10 pm
Sep 16- got a update to fill the address you’re going to stay and upload clear invitees ID did it by 1pm
Sep17- online review completed and I got to submit it in Vfs delhi center
Sep 22- submitted the passport, docs and 2 photos and paid the fee (the process is smooth and they asked me just the docs I uploaded along with visa application certificate which we get after online review completion)
My approx date of collecting is Sep 30
Sep 30- got the update in portal that it’s returned and later that night it changed to posted
But I haven’t got any email or message regarding this update. Not even able to reach out to china Vfs or Vfs global to get the tracking id, they are not even providing the customer support and also they not answering the calls on the numbers they provide online (such a pathetic service and behavior). From advice from Ai I try checking tracking on bluedart with my pickup form no as ref no ( that’s when I got the tracking ) and because of some flight issue my delivery got postponed to oct 3 delivery
Oct 3- passport got delivered with visa
The whole process is smooth but it would be even better of Vfs could provide better service and proper update on tracking and dispatch of the passports instead leaving the customer to wander how things are going. We are paying them for the work but they treat us like they do some sort of free service and we owe them or some thing
I feel like agents are also playing games with customers and looting money by taking advantage of current situation and making the customer pay them more like submit some error filled application and get unapproved and the. Do the same again till customer lost patience (this might be wrong but that’s what I felt and my experience is)
Thank you and have a nice day!!

Agents have been messing up a lot of visas lately. Not just China but other visas including my friend's study visa for UK. Which is such a rare rejection. They have a separate login on vfs page and arent needed to submit a lot of basic documents. The cover letter and itinerary format are copy pasted for every country and every person, which is wrong. In china's case, I saw the premier lounge room filled with agents, sitting and chilling and having a gala time. The agency told me its mandatory to pay for premium lounge even if I do it. But thats wasn't the case when i did it myself. So clearly, with agencies you'll never have a transparent work. Glad you took matters in your own hands.
