Thanking your Consulate

[Bocajr27 3]

So many of us are so quick to bad mouth the Consulate when things don't the way we want them to. I was wondering how many of us actually take the time to thank the cosnsulate (in writing) when they expedite or move the case along due to an emergency or extenuating circumstances.

Last Friday (October 9th) I decided to do just that and was pleasently surprised to recieve a responce from them today. Here's what my e-mail to them stated and they replied back to me.

Hello;

I just wanted to take a moment to thank your office for taking into consideration my emergency and in turn processing my wife's visa in such a timely manner. My wife and our son are now back home (in Miami) in a more climate controlled environment were he can receive the proper medical attention needed to control his medical condition. You may not be told this often enough but we really appreciate the diligence your offices took in processing our case for the sake of the health of a US Citizen (our son Nicolas).

If your office should ever need a letter of recommendation from our family, please do not hesitate to contact me immediately via e-mail.

Best Regards

Their Responce

Dear Mr. ******:

Thank you very much for your kind words. We are always very glad when we can do our job – which is to reunite families.

Best regards and best wishes for the future to you and your family.

Sincerely,

IV Unit

Remember that a Thank You goes a long way, and they might take that note into consideration the next time a case like yours comes across their desk.

I'm happy to hear something positive for once about an embassy. Congratulations to you and your family. People are always quick to complain but never put the same effort to praise when something goes right.

That was classy of the consulate and of you. Would that a certain neighboring country's consulate were anywhere close to that concept of behavior.
