Today, for the second time, I had to use the services of the consulate. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff of the notary department for their high qualifications, professionalism and human attitude. My questions were not standard, but solutions were found both times. For the first time, I had to come again, but at the same time I was given full advice on how best to do it. Thanks again so much
It was necessary to update the expiring passport (you don't need it for trips, but you need to have it). Yes, the wait for the recording was long, more than two months, but it is honestly written on the website. Otherwise, everything was just fine. On the appointed day and time, I came to the consulate (I came to NY specifically for this, since I live in another state), immediately got to the window, handed over all the documents. The staff is very friendly, from the security guard to the young man who accepted the documents. Everything was done quickly, I left the consulate in 15 minutes. To send the finished passport, I left a USPS Priority envelope, as described on the website. I was told that the deadline is three months. I monitored readiness through the application. It showed the degree of readiness of the passport. A little less than two months have passed today, I received my new passport in the mail. I will not be able to use it in the near future and I do not plan to, this is already a political issue, but the consulate was impeccable in providing this service specifically. Thanks to his staff.
I was at the consulate today. I applied for citizenship for a child. Everything is clear and professional. I signed up by e-mail and two weeks later they provided an application (I asked for this date myself). Everything is fast without delay. The staff are all friendly, qualified, and responsive. Everything is fine. A good website, everything is clear and accessible written. I collected all the documents and submitted them without any problems.I will come back in September to change my passport and my wife's. Thank you consulate for your work.
