Small little room located on the 11th floor of the building. Plan according because the office closes early at 2pm, every single day. The people working here seemed nice though. This rating is mostly for the whole application process.
In terms of visa application experience to foreign countries, this was probably the worst. The entire system was utterly broken and disorganized. The consulate's phone and email response rate is about 5%. I lost count of how many voicemails I left for them and how many times I had to resend documents. Their application website is barely functional. The most frustrating part is the lack of communications.
After about 2 months of one-way communication, I finally received an email that my visa has been approved. Therefore, I made a day trip to Houston to come pick up my tourist visa. I arrived at noon, there was one family before me. Yet, I waited one whole hour for them to print out my visa, which has already been approved.
I don't get it. The office is obviously not that busy. They obviously don't spend any time responding to phones or emails. What are they doing here? read more
