The expedited screening and no fuss customs saves so much time and makes you truly happy to be home. The online appointments at JFK are readily available, can snag a spot in less than 30'days and you get approved on the spot. So you can use your precheck right away. Your sentry card wills be mailed so that is a little waiting but you only need that if driving across the border. The staff at JFK are friendly except for the obnoxious employee who checks you in. He is not in uniform and wears a yankee cap. So unprofessional in attire and behavior. If you are accompanying an elderly parent or family member he will likely not let you escort. They used to all you to sit in the waiting area and provide assistance until the interview but I guess now it is luck of the draw.

Having a reservation does not mean you don't need to come early - or that you will meet with a visa official on the time you reserved. If you somehow landed in here on the better slots of the morning i.e. when they're not super packed and not completely annoyed by the crowd and have everything that they could possibly want ready, you will be given a receipt with your application number to pickup your passport. They may take additional documents if you ended up unluckily needing extra - but could either ask a hard copy brought or mailed to the office instead of emails. This could be an overall frustrating process, so stay calm and relax while you're waiting - really doesn't matter if you've got a reservation or not during the pickup hour on mon wed and fri.

After waiting 40 minutes to be called, I approached Window 7, only to be met with a rude and dismissive agent. When I politely asked a follow-up question, she shoved a clipboard up against the glass, effectively ending the conversation. It was an unnecessarily hostile interaction after such a long wait. To make matters worse, they asked me for my British passport from 1977 -- nearly 50 years ago. I was born in Hong Kong and have been a U.S. citizen for decades. The request was not only unreasonable, but it also wasn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation. Speaking of which, the visa requirements posted on their official website do not match what they ask for in person. It's confusing, inconsistent, and causes delays that could easily be avoided with clear and accurate information online. The entire process lacks transparency and basic courtesy. I hope they seriously reconsider how they train their staff and communicate requirements to the public. if you hate your job that much, then find another.

The entrance is marked by a shiny bronze plaque. There is a security guard on this level as well. He was very courteous and acts as a concierge- finding out what services you need and directing you accordingly. There is a comfortable and spacious waiting room. I went to renew my passport and was happy to find that I was there for less than 2 hours. One of the lady's at the desk was able to direct me to a post office nearby where I was able to obtain a money order. The cost of a passport renewal is $72 if you want it mailed to you, or $60 if you are able to pick it up at the Consulate. How to renew your passport: (if you have no changes) 1. Obtain the application form from the consulate * note- I printed an application I found online however, they wanted me to complete one on legal size paper which they provided * You must provide 2 references from Trinidad who have known you for more than 3 years 2. Have a color photocopy of your passport page with your biographical information (I saw that there is a place in the lobby that can provide this) 3. Get a money order (as I described above) 4. Bring your original passport If you are mailing in your application, then you submit photos. If you go there in person, they will take your photo there. Once your application is in and photo is taken then you just need to check online to see when it is ready. Overall- not a bad experience. Everyone I encountered was polite and professional, and the process was pretty efficient.
