Utah online did not work cus Chinese wife could not get the Teams,Zoom none of these platforms worked could not sign into, i want this affidavit before i leave in march. there has to be a way to obtain here in the states i was only going to  Beijing is the a place there?

No, there does not have to be a way to obtain the document in the USA before you go, but there is.  I used an agency in New Jersey to get mine, but that was in 2005.  I don't have the contact information for that agency now.   Here's some information about it.  http://sanfrancisco.china-consulate.gov.cn/eng/lszj/rz/200311/t20031117_9542589.htm#:~:text=Legal marriage age in China,20 or older for female.&text=(1) Affidavit of Single Status,where the document is executed.

Also what form is used mostly to get a visa?

You've been given a link to the information you need several times already.  In Beijing, you go to the US Embassy.

 

Here's the link again.  It does not have to be Beijing.  Any US Consulate in China can do it.  https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/marriage/

You might be able to get an affidavit by finding a local notary in your area and then getting them to notarize a sworn statement of single status. (maybe getting the document apostilled at secretary of state in South Dakota)

 

I would have your fiancee check with the office you are planning to register your marriage in China to confirm this is correct. 

The US Embassy in China is giving advice based on the assumption the US citizen is living in China. 

 

I cannot confirm this method.

 

The best person to find out what type of document is accepted /is required at the registry is your soon to be wife. 

She can ask them what type of documentation they require from a US citizen. They might have a handbook with examples (similar to how there are resources on the internet showing what type of civil documentation the US accepts from foreign nationals).

What is needed is detailed on websites of Chinese Consulates in the USA.  The local registry will not necessarily be aware of the issues with this document coming from the USA, other than what is commonly obtained in China.  The embassy's page is NOT assuming the US Citizen is living in China.  They know it's far easier to get the acceptable document from a US Consulate.  When people plan ahead, they make a stop at a Consulate to get this document.  It's far easier that way.

 

I got what I needed using an agency in New Jersey because my trip did not allow for me to stop at a Consulate.    Really, the best thing to do is to plan to stop at a Consulate, as part of the travel plan.

Why do you keep asking the same thing when you already got the answer
