Babytree Surrogacy has been focusing on pregnant mothers in Los Angeles. Since the establishment of the company, it has never encountered a problem with visa application. Recently, several guests asked for help and consultation, saying that their babies born outside the state would not be granted travel certificates. The American baby tree’s attention was drawn. After careful checking, it was found that they were all misinformation. In fact, the Los Angeles consulate did not accept the travel permits for out-of-state babies, so there was a saying that out-of-state babies would not apply for travel permits for out-of-state babies. It is still possible to go to Washington to apply, but the processing time is about 6 months, which invisibly increases the parents’ stay in the United States several times, resulting in increased expenses and many other problems. Of course, the local Chinese in the United States do not have this concern, any state. Can! (Because there is no need to apply for a travel permit)

Below, the editor has compiled a guide on how to apply for a travel permit, so that everyone can understand it in more detail.

At present, China has one embassy and five consulates-generals in the United States, responsible for consular services in their respective jurisdictions.Applicants for travel permits should submit an application to the visa office of their jurisdiction.Due to the temporary closure of the Houston consulate, all issues in the consular area will be temporarily taken care of by the embassy in the United States, including the state of Texas where many pregnant mothers of the guests belong. They have to go to Washington to apply for a travel permit. In addition, the current epidemic situation in Washington As a result, the embassy's acceptance time has been extended to about 6 months.

At present, if Chinese customers want to bring their babies back to China smoothly and conveniently, the best choice is to choose a pregnant mother in the jurisdiction of Los Angeles. Babytree Surrogacy is fully committed to recruiting surrogate mothers in Los Angeles, and it has become the largest family without knowing it.
