My husband lived in China (with me) for a period of about 4 years spread over about a 4.5 year period. Before he left China for the last time 2.5 years ago, we got his PCC. We actually needed two of them because he had moved home for about 6 months in the middle. Anyway, they are now outdated, so we will have to get new ones.

Does anyone have experience applying for PCCs from China from outside of China for someone who is not Chinese? I remember it being a hassle when we did it while living there. How much of a hassle can I expect it to be, and how long will it take to get them? In other words, when should he start to apply for them? They are only good for 3 months.

He has friends living in the city where we lived, so he can get his friends to help him, but how long will it take and what should we expect to have to do? The guide on travel.state.gov about how to obtain visas is a bit cryptic.
