Whoohoo! @colin - thanks!

Um..how do we book an appointment for Fri, 22 June 2012? The appointment website for that date is not available?

I think the website is for making an appointment in Chengdu. For Kunming I believe you have to email them:

What is limited services ?

@TIC you would need to ask them what limited number of services will be on offer. But I guess you would need to be more specific. I.E. you apply and they will tell you if they can offer that service in their visit to KMG. I guess they will not be doing visas for a start.

Other services potentially available with advance notice - contact them via email directly to arrange. And as Colin notes - please don't whine at the consulate for the obscene sodomizing rates they charge us - the rates are set by the State Department, who incidentally gives BILLIONS of our tax dollars away to other countries - Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines, Samoa, etc ad infinitum.

The US consulate will be here in a couple weeks. It's a good opportunity to get a new passport or pages put in without having to go to Chengdu. However, spaces are limited. Their message is below...
