My Application Is Already in Process — Can Swift Still Help?

📍 If Your Passport Application Is Already Submitted

If you have already submitted your passport documents directly to the U.S. government:

• Swift cannot intervene

• Swift cannot transfer or take over the application

• Swift cannot start a second process while one is active

You must wait for the government to complete the current application.

🧾 If Your China Visa Application Is Already Submitted

If you have already submitted a China visa application:

• Swift cannot complete a second China visa application for you

• The COVA system does not allow two active applications

However, Swift can:

• Submit your passport to any of the Chinese consulates in the USA and pick up your passport once completed

• Provide pickup-only service for the Chicago consulate

🌐 If You Have an Active e-Visa Application

In most cases:

• Governments do not allow two active e-Visa applications at the same time

• Swift cannot submit a new e-Visa while another is pending

You must wait for the current application to be decided before starting a new one.

🚫 If You Were Previously Denied a Visa

If you were formally denied a visa by a consulate:

• Swift cannot change the outcome

• The consulate’s decision will not change based on who submits the application

A denial means the consulate refused to grant you entry.

⚠️ Denial vs. Rejection

It is important to understand the difference:

• Denial → The consulate has refused to issue the visa

• Rejection → The application was incomplete or missing information

If your application was rejected (not denied), you can normally correct and resubmit it.

💡 Important Notes

• Government and consulate decisions are final

• Swift cannot override or influence prior decisions

• Most government organizations will not allow you to have a second application while one is active 

If you are unsure about your status, contact Swift before taking further action.
