Visa-as in travel document

Chinese have made it hard to get a visa.  I'm not applying for a tourist visa, so I needed a few more documents.  I'm such a shady person.  1st trip to NYC was last Monday.  We were lucky sister in law Susan checked hours for the chinese embassy-closed wed thru fri.  (Chinese holiday)  My application was rejected.  I didn't have a letter of invitation or a certified copy of marriage certificate.  Wedding ring and same last name made no impression.  ok.  Plan B-furiously emailing hubby in China-I need
one of the 2 items (see above).  Can you please fax to ister in law's office fax by tonite.  9PM-susan and I are at her office printing out marriage cert-5 pages!  We only needed 1 page in 1971!
Back to the embassy tues morning.  application accepted.  Come back next wed-uh...could i get it
tues? $20 additional $$'s, pick up mon or tues.  I now have an official visa in my passport. seems
like a lot of trouble for an index size page.  oh well.
I'm off to Ohio tomorrow-visiting dear college friend (we met 46?? yrs ago) Can't wait
