went to cop is safe!!!!!
I was renew my passport in Los angeles chinese consulate. the lady is very nice to me. I tell her, I want to renew my passport, it expired two years already. she said, you can't renew your passport, you have to change another one. I said, ok. what can I do? she give me a paper said, write down because your work to busy forget renew you possport. I just did what she said and paid, she tell me wait about three or four weeks, you can pick up your passpaort. that is very easy!!!!
If any body want to go (china) cop, best way to do is get Reentry permit. when you get in custom with your new possport have no problems anyway, they just double check your passport is real or fake.
when you leaving, just show the custom your RP and your new passport, if they ask you why you used your RP? you just said, you lost your Green Card, and you entry usa custom, you can use your GC and your possport.
Have a nick trip.
