visa not ready

[effieb 1]

My fiance went to the consulate as instructed to pick up his visa and unable to pick up after 6hrs of long wait. They did not have his packet together. They were asking ridiculous questions like, Oh did you submit your police report. Evidently they have misplaced it and has delayed him picking up his visa since he was approved February 16th. Today is March 12th you will think they will have everything ready for him.... Very unhappy with them at this point. Very disorganized and ineffecient. The sad thing is they are so non chalant about the whole situation.

I am so glad i did not purchase his ticket.

Sorry to hear about your delay, unfortunatly all we can do is as they request. We had something similar back in December. Got approved, then due to some error we had to wait weeks to pick up the visa. The error was not made by us but by "them" however they made it out like we did something wrong (until I went to the consulate and talked to a CO and he actually apologized for the way it was handled)!

I had already purchased our tickets and had gotten a really sweet deal, but after all was said and done it cost me double to cancel, rebook and get us home. Oh well, I am not going to cry over the spilled milk, I'm just happy that we are now here together and moving forward along our journey.

Good luck and I hope everything gets taken care of quickly for you.

Hi Bernie,

Yes it is so ridiculous they way they treat our beneficiaries at these consulates... Anyway like you said at least you all are together. We will see what happens next Friday.
