We arrived 2 hrs before our appt and found 3 or 4 others there. we were all told to stand on other side of the street and wait so we did. after awhile more people were coming and standing directly in front of the embassy so my husband said if they are coming 2 hours after us and standing in front so are we and we walked over and the others on our side of the street followed suit. Then the guard said something in arabic to my husband and my husband told him this mess was his fault for not saying anything to some people and letting others stand there beside him, lol. How about a sign that reads those here for interview please line up in the order that you arrive(wow).
Then about 710 the guard came out and said ok form a line here and everyone was trying to win the race, rediculous that we ended up behind people who had arrived since 5 minutes. Then we were divided into a second line for immigrants. we fared better this time only behind 5 people who just arrived since 5 minutes lol. All in all it was ok except for that we were finished by 930 am.
the consular was excellent with a translator who was very friendly and smiled the whole time and asked very few questions and approved his visa and said you should receive your visa in 2 weeks and gave him the number to track dhl.
i gave them 3 stars because i'm missing the good ol usa where we are taught to wait in line and take turns since preschool and because the mob atmosphere outside.
