I submitted a 3 day visa application to the New York Consulate and have not received my visa back! I leave this thursday. It arrived and was signed for by them last week - Monday, so I am quite worried. I included a paid certified mail usps envelope - and when I track it, it shows it hasn't been mailed yet. I have tried to call them but there is no way to reach a person - it's just an answering machine. Another number they supplied is disconnected. I did email just now. (It is a week later - Monday) Any advice for me anyone??? I am really worried and frustrated there is no way to call the consulate! A lot of money is on the line here! $250 for 3 day visa processing, not including my flight and hotel reservations!!! S

If that's just not practical, I would contact my airline and hotel to ask about the logistics of rescheduling. Because I am cowardly, I always use visa processing companies (and even though I live about 60 miles from the consulate, it's better for me to pay the company fees than to spend the hours and miles to make 2 trips there...) I hope another poster will have better advice. Please post back, about how things go! It will be useful for anyone else who gets into a similar jam. Best of luck... maybe they'll send your passport out today...
