Frustrations in Scheduling Visa Appointments
The noble intention of the Embassy to make visa application and interviews fast, efficient and devoid of 'connection men' is not paying off well. Rather, these connection men have taken over and are selling spots they have booked to genuine prospective travelers.

Individuals who intend to schedule an appointment themselves find it frustrating, as the calendar almost always appear as fully booked or not available. Yet when someone is able to eventually get a 'connection man', the person gets a spot for interview.

In view of this, I suggest that after applicants have submitted their visa application forms online, the Embassy should schedule appointments for them and email it to the applicants. Hopefully, all applicants will be in a genuine queue and the "connection men's" activities will be dealt a fatal blow.
