Los Angeles Consulate

Interesting, but irrelevant to my posting a copy of this letter at the request of another board member.

Perhaps, but the point it that things have changed a great deal in the last 2-1/2 years and what worked then may or may not be applicable today. The question is not necessarily "how did your wife get her appointment back in the Fall of 2004?" but rather "how does one get an appointment in the Spring of 2007?"

I was asked a question and answered it. You are unhappy because I answered the question.

No, I just think it is important to point out that 2-1/2 years is a long time in this business and that much has changed. Also, that your apparent good luck and fast resolution to your wife's application is an oddity, not the norm, as evidenced by the fact that nearly everyone else has reported waiting one, two years and sometimes more.

Heck, at the moment, many of the busier consulates are handing out appointments 6 or more months in the future. At least one, Miami, has gone so far as to close its appointment desk for two months until mid-June..
