No, just bring your child’s passport and visa to return to China. It is best to apply for a passport 2 months in advance. It was expedited when we went to apply, and we received our passports within a week. Expediting means paying more, so if you are planning to return to your country and it is not urgent, then go and apply for it 2 months in advance. Once your passport has been processed, go to the Chinese Embassy for a visa, which also takes three to four working days. I have a Chinese passport, so adding a green card is enough.
