Glad for and appreciate you sharing, I'm on day 17 with the NYC consulate, fly Tuesday, and they aren't answering emails. I have a backup plan booking an onward flight then canceling it after I board. But it sure would be nice to just get the visa so I don't have to jump hoops doing a visa run at 60 days.

Good to know people can plan. Still a long time for a visa though.
