Hey Jay,

Sorry, actually I don't know about that. I can say that my passport has nothing but old Z-Visas and RP's. I've never had an F or L visa. Just the basic things like my med exam results, and the usual letters, 1 2" photo, and they charge people from different countries different amounts of money. As an American I think I had to pay the highest 'processing fee' of any of the other countries: 1100元。 So as a joke, I said to them, "你为什么要欺负美国人？

To get rush (2-3 day) service add 150 元。 To get express (1 day) service add 250 元。

One word of advice, if I remember correctly the hours of operation are 9-12, and then 2-5PM or so. Try to get in a little early--sometimes there is a LONG line!
