刚入英籍，现在有点要紧事要回国
看了伦敦中国签证中心的介绍，里面说
http://www.visaforchina.org/LON_EN/visainstruction/250023.shtml
Those who were born in China (including HongKong,Macau and Taiwan) or used to have Chinese Nationality apply for Chinese visas with foreign passports for the first time (or no Chinese visas shown on the applying passports), their Chinese Passports (original and copy) or HongKong ID (original) / Macau ID (original) / Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents (original) or other foreign passports of the applicants with Chinese visas (original and copy) should be attached together with the application documents.
If applicants can not provide those documents mentioned above, they should come to our centre to gain authorization,with which,they will be able to apply or their visa in the Chinese Embassy. Extra forms need to be filled under such a circumstance and the length of visa processing will be 10 to 20 working days.
我的中国护照自从上次搬家后，就找不到了。是不是我这样的情况就需要去大使馆签证，而不是在在签证中心签的。请问谁知道为什么签证要10到20个工作日，使馆是要帮我登报挂失吗，还是怎样？着急回国啊，谢谢！
