China X1 Visa for Elementary and Secondary Students
The current X1 list distinguishes school-age students from higher-education applicants and identifies the elementary-stage study confirmation form.
Official baseline: This guide follows current Chinese
government or U.S. consular sources; case-specific evidence may still be
requested.
Key requirements
- Use the school-age confirmation form issued for the student
- Align guardian, school and family-residence information
- Check whether family-reunion residence changes the need for X1
Pre-submission check
- Names and dates agree across passport, COVA and supporting documents.
- Uploads are complete and readable, with originals available if requested.
- Another person's outcome or the requested category is not an approval guarantee.
