From what I understand, the DOS and Embassy will most basically give identical info, regarding any updated info. The embassy I deal with- Bogota Colombia- only accepts specific visa inquiries on Wed. for a two hour period and that's it! Not sure how other embassies work? All I ever get from both is that it is "still in process"- I fish for more specific info, but they claim they cannot see anything specific, just when they are finished....

Good luck,

Joe

thanks for your reply. I called both the embassy and DOS and both said its still pending! They should at least be able to tell how much more longer it will take! this is so frustrating!! Anyways Good Luck to you!
