Exactly. Some embassies and counselates take longer to process it. NYC, but it is easier than it has ever been. Gone are the days of mailing passports for a sticker that took sometimes months to receive. Ive found using the DC embassy the fastest for approval and the NYC counselate the sslllooowwweesstttt.
