Hi people,
I initiated the visa process a while ago, and I am worried. I have a business trip on September 6th to the United States, because of that I paid 120 pounds to be processed in up to 10 business days. With a promise that if it wasnt processed, I would be contacted.
I also paid for SMS and courier. I went to the consulate after 5 days because I didn't receive any tracking at all. They said I would receive the email once it arrived in the DMC.
It is important to know that for Brazil, all visa is processed in Bogota, Colombia, unless you use priority service, then it is in Rio. After 10 days I received an email and it is in Bogota! Not Rio de Janeiro, which is pretty bad because I am in a hurry.
I called, send emails, they all said it is like that sometimes and they have no way to check if indeed my application is as priority service for them.
Now 3 days ago I received an update saying that my application was assigned to an officer, and I still have no contact, I send email they don't respond, and the phone line isnt helpful at all. Any tips?
