It is NOT right!-中国公民在美出生子女申请旅行证

I just got from Houston Chinese Consulate website that the travel permit for children who was born in US has to be physically applied by the parent. No mail service and no authorized service.

But if the child's parent are US citizen or Green Card, they allow to use authorized service to apply.

So anyone who is not living in Houston needs to physically fly or drive to Chinese Consulate just for a child's travel permit.

Why they have such a troubled policy for Chinese citizen? just because we are not US citizen or PR card holder?

I just don't understand the reason. It is rediculous!
