Where is my passport?
Sent a student visa extension application many weeks ago and included an overnight return envelope. Got an email that the extension was approved, but no passport. They wont answer emails or fax messages. And I have found no actual human being at the end of their various phone trees. If anyone out there has a phone number that they answer, please post it.

THANK YOU
Thank you for processing my visa and sending it back to on a very timely manner. We were really impressed by this Visa Center. I read many negative comments and was afraid my visa would not be issued on time, however, that was not the case. I sent my documents in on December 8, received an email that they would need 12 days to process (normal 15 days). Received an email that my visa was issued within only 11 days and was mailed out by the 12th day. Today, I received my passport back. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!! :)

Nerve wrecking!
Hi, I applied for my visitor's visa since November 22 2014. It is now December 8th. I inquired by email, after they told me they received my package and documents, to find out the status of my application. To my horror I received a reply stating that my application was denied and were sending me back my documents. Then I received another email stating that they have found my application and it is still waiting to be seen by an officer!! My God! I have to fly out by next week! This is so unacceptable! I am at my wits end. For those of you who don't know their contact info, it is: 212-745-0200. As for the email, you have to go through a process from their website whereby you enter your details along with your questions. Fingers crossed!
